SAVE THE
PRINCESS

The bricks: While your slacker friends are sitting at home with Super Mario Wii and an industrial drum of Cheetos, you’re back at the office, slaving away under fluorescent lights. That doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in some turtle-stomping adventures of your own. Free Mario Games features exactly what you’d think, Mario games in Flash, with one standout—Tuper Tario Tros. improbably and fantastically combines Mario and Tetris in a way that makes explanation difficult and unnecessary. It’s-a me at freemariogames.org.

Eat me: Sometimes advertising is unintentionally creepy. Take food products endorsed by the animal that provides the main ingredient for said food, like, say, a pig in a chef’s hat proffering a steaming platter of sausages, or a lobster in an apron boiling up a big pot of water, or a chicken holding up a perfect Grade A egg, imploring you to cook and consume her unborn children. Suicide Food is a blog that compiles some of the best of this ad genre in horrifying detail at suicidefood.blogspot.com.
