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...

A Real Smurf Sighting!!!

Check out this authentic replica of what artist Nate Hallinan thinks a real life Smurf would look like. The results are pretty shocking, but extremely cool nonetheless. You can see the full sized pic and an explanation of the piece after the jump.

Here is the explanation from the artist himself:

The Smurf is actually the result of a symbiotic relationship
between two organisms. We believe that Smurfs put their
'embryos' in the button of a developing mushroom. From a
distance, Smurfs seem like they are wearing a hat and pants
but as you can see this is a fallacy. The fungus provides
camouflage and protective epidermal layers for the creature,
while the creature provides nutrients and mobility for the
spreading of spores.

Smurfs are believed to be a hunter gatherer society. As
you can see, this little guy is returning from a successful
venture. It is generally difficult to spot a Smurf; they
are very apprehensive and cunning. Sadly though, it is
rumored that they are hunted for their medicinal properties.
It's hard to determine but it is thought that there are
not many colonies of Smurf left.

Why Can't They Get Katy Perry For The Live Action Porn Version Of The Smurfs?

Jesus H Christ... Katy Perry is freaking hot!!! Check out these pics from the recent premiere for The Smurfs. Never a shy bird, Katy showed up in a barely there white Smurfette mini skirt that left little to the imagination, especially after she leaned in to pose for a picture with a fan and flashed her purty white panties to the world (see the pic after the jump). Where's the thong Katy? I was a bit disappointed. I grabbed a few key shots of Katy on the red carpet. I also am not a fan of the new blonde hairdo. Don't get me wrong, she still looks hot... but Katy is a blue eyed brunette, and thats the way I like her!!! Damn you Russell Brand....

'I'd Buy That...As a Tee!' Vol 14 by Jeff Bond

Summer it is!..... and I could use a few new unique t-shirts to really make a statement without saying a word. A statement like "I'm a geek that doesn't take much of anything seriously...I'm approachable and easily abused."

Here's some of the t-shirts I have my eye on to do just the trick but, there's only one problem....they aren't for sale yet! Please click the links below to the Threadless.com (my favoritest and most user friendly t-shirt contribution site) voting pages for each and give these beauties '5' ratings so I can throw 'em on my charge card one day.

'Mr. Brain Freeze' is a Batty villain of super-sized Slurpee proportions! Drink at your own risk.

'The Untold Origin of the Smoke Monster'...c'mon....you know you thought about it too.

There's a little bit of everything Star Wars in 'FashioniSTAR'.....I see C-3PO junk, R2 bits, Wookie scalps, litesabers, Leia hair etc...

***Please click READ MORE below...for way more tees!***

Those little blue guys are about  to explore a 'Brave New World'...if only they could reach the Tardis doorknob.

'Bubble Boy Vadar' is tired of living life behind the mask...but, that doesn't mean he's medically ready for the world.

'Attack of the Zombiecorns'...YES! Zombie-Unicorns F*ckin' Rule!

And if ya enjoy the undead, as mush as I do, (wait...that didn't sound exactly right) than maybe you'll enjoy 'Zombie in Space' In space? Of course! Where else (complete with flesh nibbling, space-suited flies)

'Looking For the Great Great Grandfather' takes Terminator to a steampunk era! YES!

Houston, it looks like we have a (weight) problem in this design which just made me smile....'Houston, I'm Lovin' It'

'Avada Kedvara' would be perfect to wear to the midnight opening of the final Harry Potter film.....if only it had enough magical votes.

Or, if you're looking for one a bit more bone-chilling 'AVADA KEDAVRA' will do just the trick!

'The Sexy Element'  puts Sacha Baron Cohen's 'Borat' in a slightly different iconic one-piece as he takes an intergalactic ride into the world of the 'Fifth Element'

'Return of the Samurai'...umm...YES PLEASE! One in each color PLEASE!!

Han 'Shot First'....are you suuuuuure?

'Misadventures of a Chocoholic' combines 2 of my absolute favorite childhood films 'Goonies' & 'Charlie & the Chocolate Factory'...looks like those little orange guys are taking our big ugly pal on an unexpected trek for pirates booty! By far...my favoritest tee this week!

Until next time, kiddies!

Ryan Smith Puts His Artistic Spin On Some Classics

Check out artist Ryan Smith's take on some classic properties such as The Smurfs, He-Man, and The Wizard of Oz. You gotta love the originality of these:

Papa Skeletor & Panthor

A Wicked Spill

Meet the Smurfs, Greet The Smurfs

A few months ago, I wrote a post about the upcoming live action Smurf movie that most fans of the 80's seem to be excited for. Yesterday they released the first actual picture of the CGI Smurfs... and they look pretty good. Here we see Grouchy, Papa, and Clumsy hitting up Time Square n a scene from the movie. You think they ate lunch at BuBBa Gumps Shrimp Company or Carmines??? Anyway, they also released a teaser trailer, and I am sure Jeff Bond has a bit of a nerd boner... but it would have been a lot bigger nerd boner had Smurfette been in the trailer. Ain't that right Jeff??? The cast on this is phenomenal, with Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays and Hank Azaria all playing live action roles and voice skills from Allan Cummings, Paul Ruebens, Anton Yelchin, and George Lopez as well as many more bringing the Smurfs to life. This film hits in Summer 2011, so lets hope for the best on this one. Enjoy the trailer below.
