Activision Wants You To Get Oral with Sing Hero

This could be the worst idea ever, if it’s done the wrong way. While in principle, Activison recently filing for a trademark on the title “Sing Hero” is the logical step forward, this could spell some bad news for us. Of course, Sing Hero will be some sort of faux-music themed game, like Guitar Hero. So, not only will we have 10-year-olds running around thinking they are the next Eddie Van Halen, but we’re going to have even more American Idol wannabes who, frankly, can’t sing for shit.

I mean, look, we already have to bullshit when our girlfriends ask us how their voice is as they sing along to the newest fresh pop beat. That generic falsetto which they think makes them sound like Christina Aguilera? Yeah, that doesn’t cut it in our book. Now, if Sing Hero is made to judge singing accurately, we can see the game being mighty successful, but please, don’t fill our girlfriends with any more hope.

There’s A Party In My Mouth: An Oral Extravaganza

For a moment we thought that Julia Roberts was finally allowing spectators to tour her gigantic pie hole, but now it sees as though we were misled. This gigantic mouth is actually a a new attraction at Corpus, a half-amusement park, half-museum in Amsterdam, which recently opened up a their interactive feature which allows visitors to explore large models of the human body.

Visitors will get the chance to “enter the museum through the knee, then travel through eight exhibit spaces, heading up toward the brain. On the way, they can watch a 3-D film on fertilization, bounce on a rubber tongue while they follow a sandwich being digested and throw beanbags against a video screen to destroy bacteria.” Not to mention, use the airbag sized uvula as a human punching bag. — Andrew Dobrow
