Wow, These Crazy Ecuadorians Really Know How To Party On New Years Eve!!!

When my boy Edson sends me an email with a tip for CCD, I usually pay close attention. This is exactly the reason why. Edson sent me this crazy email from over at io9 (damn corporate blogs with their funding and their traveling staff... wait, what?) about the practices of people in Ecuador prior to the New Year. In villages all over the country the people construct huge paper & wood figures known as "Anos Viejos" (Old Years) to be burnt in celebration of the change in calendar. But here is the thing that makes these paper constructs so fucking cool... they make them in all types of images, especially nerdy fanboy faves!!! Don't believe me? See for yourself... click after the jump to see some of the geekiest "Anos Viejos" from this years New years celebration...

Happy New Year From CCD

Have a Happy New Years gang. be safe and party hard. We will be back posting more great pop culture related stuff for you guys in 2012. We are looking forward to another great year here at CCD, and I can't wait to take CCD to all new heights. Thank you to Cal from the Cave of Cool for the above invite. That picture is so true and perfect for our sarcastic humor... it actually sounds like the party I will probably be going to!!!
