Woody and his fellow toys appear to be immortal, so they’ll inevitably lose the humans they love. On the other hand, they traumatized Sid, who’s merely as crazy as any real kid. That and more in Cracked’s surprisingly convincing dismantling of Toy Story‘s charm.

With 1.1s left in the 2nd quarter against the Pacers, the Celtics made one hell of a buzzer beater. Sadly it won’t count, because Jae Crowder made the shot while inbounding the ball. From the other side of the court. Come on NBA, that has to be worth at least 1 point.

“I’m pushing dirt.” OKAY! “I’m spreading sand.” YEAH! “I’m grading roads.” UHUH! “I’m clearing land.” Shut all advertising agencies down. Caterpillar’s crew just locked the game up with their ill commercial for the D6N.

RJ Anderson takes the third version of UTVUnderground and Holz Racing’s souped up Polaris RZR XP Turbo through Ohio’s old steel mills, factories and train yards. The 1500lb. XP1K3 has a turbocharged 200hp engine, Walker Evans shocks and Holz’s invincible suspension.

Aug(de)mented Reality creator Hombe McSteez tries to stop his voracious alligator drawing from devouring the US in the short film he made for Pop-Up Magazine. Our takeaway here is that Hombre is the Flash.
