Star Wars Celebration Cereals
Some of the sixteen customized mini-cereal boxes that will be handed out to attendees of Star Wars Celebration V. They are decidedly awesome.

As a special treat, no doubt just for Action-Squad and our love for all things Greedo, check out what happens when you put Han and Greedo’s cereal boxes next to each other:
That is the type of attention to detail I can get behind. From the official star wars site, some of the people involved in the creation of these collectables:
Chris Georgoulias led the effort working with collectors, sponsors, and artists, who contributed to the concepts, funding, and artwork of this completely fan-sponsored giveaway. There are sixteen mini cereal boxes to collect (they are about four inches tall), one for each panel, and they are exclusive to Celebration V! Only 400 of each will be made available. Box illustrations are by artists Jeff Correll, Mattias Rendahl, Grant Gould, Bill Cable, Chris Reiff, Jeff Carlisle, Scott D.M. Simmons, and Chris Trevas. The boxes will be handed out at random times during each panel and will be absolutely free. Don’t miss this opportunity for unique, completely original collectibles.
So the real question is, do we make chinese restaurant placemats or do we make mini cereal boxes to celebrate the Action-Squad zodiac?
Show Me Your Feeds
Yesterday I spent sometime poking around dudecraft because of a link Rev Dave posted on Facebook, and I’ve found all manner of awesome there.
I got me wondering what other shadowy corners of the Interblogwebs the Squadprobes are regularly monitoring via their RSS feeds (or whatever your preferred method happens to be). Maybe we can hip each other to some fresh awesomeness. Here are some of mine…

I, For One, Can’t Wait For Bone Zone 3
High, high marks for Ben Marsh’s student project blending two of my favorite things to do: video games and doin’ it. Even higher praise for the spectacular throwback to original Gameboy carts. Kudos for encouraging safe sex with clever humor, I’ll take that over a long, drawn out vampire werewolf abstinence morality tale any day.
The games and their respective condom: Ribbed – The Long End of Zelda; Heat – Dong; Tingle – Bone Zone 2; Thin – Super Mario Land of Love; X Safe – Sextris; Large – Donkey Shlong. Awesome instructions here.
Also, Nintendo, it would be nice if you don’t serve them with any kind of C&D, can’t we all just be clever together.

The Other Other White Meat (with Sparkles!)
ThinkGeek is calling it “their best cease & desist letter, ever” regarding a C&D sent to them by the National Pork Board regarding “Infringement & Dillution Of Trademark Rights” due to…canned unicorn meat.
See, the National Pork Board owns the trademark to “The Other White Meat” and they don’t like canned unicorn meat being called the “New White Meat.”
You may recall ThinkGeek has a special place in their heart for great April Fool’s Day jokes.
Don’t worry, its covered under fair use for parody. Fitting this all happens in this our year of the unicorn. Lets call it Unicorn Geek Gate 2010.
Best press release ever?
“It was never our intention to cause a national crisis and misguide American citizens regarding the differences between the pig and the unicorn,” said Scott Kauffman, President and CEO of Geeknet. “In fact, ThinkGeek’s canned unicorn meat is sparkly, a bit red, and not approved by any government entity.”
Read the whole release here.
God bless america, god bless unicorns and by all means god bless the internets.
