Blastr tells the tale of a fine UK gentleman who used a metric ton of cardboard, some fiberglass, and a whole lot of canned awesome to make this:

I really hate this guy.

I’m one of the few people who like the new long-pants-leather-jacket look, but all of these are pretty great. I would have loved to see them do the eagle armor look.

Reactions range from “OMG WTF are you thinking” to blind, incoherent rage, but I think there’s actually some method to the madness.

Monday is “sexy teens having sexy sex with each other” night. Tuesday is “medical drama (with lots of sex)” night. Wednesday is “let’s pretend we can still convince boys to watch the CW” night. Thursday is “supernatural monsters having sexy sex with sexy teenagers” night. And Friday is “Jesus, we’re still committed to these shows? Fuck, put them on Friday and hope they die quickly” night.

Previously, on The Secret Circle…

Melissa Glaser: Nick is alive! Nick is alive! Nick is alive!

Faye Chamberlain: And hell bent on mass murder, chaos, and destruction.

Melissa Glaser: Do you think he’ll go steady with me?

John Blackwell: Hey Diana, got a second?

Diana Meade: For you? Absolutely not!

Cassie Blake: Don’t mind her, she’s just upset that you got her mother knocked up, and are kinda sorta responsible for all of the trauma in her life, and may or may not be plotting to murder us all in some sort of dark magic ritual.

John Blackwell: Speaking of dark magic ritual, would you like to help me find the last crystal, form the Crystal Skull, and rule the world with an iron fist?

Cassie Blake: Boy would I!

Forbes has a long, funny, and fascinating interview with Joss Whedon that you should all go read right now.

Read on if you’re interested in learning:

-Whedon’s advice for would-be filmmakers who aren’t born into screenwriting dynasties like he was

-why he doesn’t use Twitter

-how he feels about the possibility of another director resurrecting “Buffy”

-why you shouldn’t invite Batman to Thanksgiving dinner

-what his favorite superhero movies are

-why “Firefly” and “Dollhouse” were completely different kinds of failures

-why he started a “microbudget” studio of his own

-how he realized that his most famous character is really his own alter ego

-what he plans to do next. (Hint: You haven’t seen the last of Dr. Horrible.)

First, I’d like to ask you guys a favor. If you’ve read my debut novel, Sire, I’d really appreciate it if you went over to Amazon and gave it a rating. Ratings are one of the things that really help a book sell, and I’d love to know what you all think of it. Thank you.

And if you haven’t read it? It costs less than one of those fancy-dancy farapalates you kids drink these days, and there’s way less nudity in Starbucks. Unless I’m just going to the wrong starbucks.

And with that little bit of self-whoring out of the way:

Previously, on The Vampire Diaries…

Aunt Jenna: Hi Elena! Have you ever heard the theory that Near Death Experiences are the brain’s way of coping with the terrible realization of our own mortality?

Mama Gilbert: Hi Elena! It’s your birthday!

Pama Gilbert: And Christmas!

Elena Gilbert: Wow! Getting murdered is way better than getting kidnapped! Tee hee!
