The Confectionery - 16

These are the things that I think are great.

AMERICAN PSYCHO CUPCAKES

Jade Thompson had these made for her boyfriend & now I kind of wish I was her boyfriend.  Everything about these is wonderful.  The business card (is that pale nimbus white?), the videotape, the book, the weapons & HOLY BATEMAN, the "Don't just stare at it, eat it" quote.  Perfection.

Those are very fine cupcakes you're not eating.

 BREAKING WARS/STARS BAD

I love Breaking Bad, & I love Star Wars.  Over at Something Awful, they host a Photoshop Phriday, where their users take on a particular theme.  This week it was Breaking Bad meets Star Wars, & some of these are genius.  

You can view the whole gallery of images here, but beware of Breaking Bad spoilers!

 BAD LIP READING OF TWILIGHT

Think Twilight is bloody awful, but can't get away from it?  A bad lip reading of Twilight makes it much more palatable.  Such a vast improvement on the dialogue - how dare she eat his cake!  Hilarious.

 Kevvvvvvin.

PLANTS VS ZOMBIES TOYS

Toys "R" Us stores now have based-on-an-app sections, featuring toys from Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Annoying Orange, & Where's My Water.  But where are the beloved zombies & plant warriors from the always fun Plants Vs Zombies? Popcap has finally created a line of toys & they. are. adorable.

These guys are available at thinkgeek.com

Available for pre-order now, along with Sunflower, Squash & Jalapeno here.

Way to ignore my brain & head straight for my heart, Disco Zombie!  I want all of them.  They will go lovely with my "Plants vs Zombies"-themed kitchen, don't you think?

 FACE JUGGLER

This is an app you need to have.  Face Juggler immediately identifies & swaps the faces in a picture, with amusing results.  The free version lets you swap 2 faces, & the $1.99 version will let you swap up to 10 faces in 1 photo.  It is entertaining.

Those were my favourite internet sweets of the past week.  Come back next week for more goodies!

Zombie Decor

So, you want to join the trend of Zombie decor that's taken over the world?  If you want to be exactly like everyone else, fine.

First, you need a kid who is passionate about zombies & art, & who has a crazy idea to decorate the house with zombies.  Any kind of zombie will do, but my kid wanted zombies from Plants vs. Zombies.

So, put that kid to work. 

Next, you need to cut out all this awesome art.  You'll probably have to do this work yourself, since kids suck with scissors.  Seriously, they're fucking awful.  If your kid is as considerate as the one I used, he'll let you know what needs to be cut out, & maybe even hover over your shoulder to make sure you're doing it right.  Try to remember you are assisting an artist with his Masterpiece here, so respect the process & don't be a douche.  If your kid wants a zombie cut down to his exposed tibia, you do it, & you do it perfectly.

Once your art is properly cut & ready for mounting, you have to decide how to place them on the wall.  If dealing with Plants vs Zombies as we were, it can lead to very heated discussions.  Surely we need Dolphin Rider!  Make sure Football Zombie & Garangtour are in the Melon-pult row...& let's add a Hypno-Shroom to be safe.  Maybe a Mine-Cart Zombie would be a welcome addition!  Soccer Zombie, too!

Once you have reached a layout agreement with your kid, attach zombies to a poster to place on the wall, or if you just don't care, tape them right on the wall.  (You can guess what we did).

The result: a zombie-themed wall, just like everybody else in the world.  So boring.
