By tigtog on May 11, 2011

This week’s whimsy is brought to you by the Superhero Situation Room!  (just one of many reworkings of this image making the rounds of the interwebs)

All the White House senior personnel in the Situation Room have been photoshopped into Superhero costumes

    If Captain America is there then Hawkeye should be as well..so that he can call the Captain “wing head” whenever he gets the chance ;-)

    Oh, and Helen@5
    The only reason I read all the Harry Potter books, was to be able to relate to and have conversation topics with my sons, honest.

    Florida has banned sex with animals. That is one way to deal with overpopulation.

    Breaking news…Obi-Wan Kenobi Is Dead, Vader Says

    http://www.galacticempiretimes.com/2011/05/09/galaxy/outer-rim/obi-wan-kenobi-is-killed.html

    In an earlier statement issued to the press, Kenobi boasted that striking him down could make him “more powerful than you could possibly imagine.”…Lord Vader has denied requests to present photographs of the body, describing them as “too gruesome” for the general public.

    I love the comments attacking the article as being too left wing.

    I love how the liberal rag GET keeps referring our Defense Star as the “Death Star”. Take that propaganda back to Courescant, Nerfherder!!!

    Tackling Childhood Asthma Not Coal Industry Priority After All: No more My Little Pony inhalers in stock

    YesMen at it again …

    A charitable initiative by the world’s largest coal company to provide free “novelty-themed” inhalers to asthmatic children may have seemed for a moment like a (somewhat misguided) breath of fresh air, coming as it did from an industry whose emissions are directly linked to childhood asthma, and which is fighting to gut clean air legislation that would save children’s lives.

    Coal Cares™ purported to “make asthma cool” with decorative and pop-culture inspired inhalers (“The Bieber,” “Harry Potter,” “My Little Pony,” and “My First Inhaler” were particular favorites). The site also announced that Peabody would offer $10 coupons towards asthma medication (about 5%-20% of the cost) for families living within 200 miles of a coal-fired plant. It featured a “Kidz Koal Korner” with asthma-related games for tots, an extensive asthma trivia section and FAQ (Peter the Great was asthmatic, who knew!), and a thorough condemnation of solar and wind alternatives.
