When The Ads on Your Kindle Just Get Weird

So my Mom's Kindle has been getting a lot of book ads on the lockout screen lately... mostly vampire romance and cliché mysteries. But then there was this.

 

O.o

 

Huh. Maybe I'm just easily mystified, but Santa's Last Secret?
This simple image raises a myriad of questions! First of all, Last Secret? This implies there have been MANY secrets! Like his poker shack out in the swamp, or that drug smuggling operation that he was working out of the toyshop, or the many, many elf-rights violations!
Maybe the fact that there is another Santa on the cover has something to do with it. Did Santa have an identical twin who was somehow hidden, lost, or perhaps locked away somewhere?
So many questions!!!

Creepy Fireworks Safety Pamphlet!

Our town has issues with people bringing up fireworks from Mexico and setting them off in their backyards. So those of use who buy the legal fireworks that stay on the ground have to read these creepy pamphlets about not setting yourself on fire. :P

So without further ado, I'm going to make fun of it! XD!

Celebrate Safely! This Square-Jawed Champion of the Government's Caring Justice (never mind that he's extremely white and he's bossing around this minority-looking family!) shall be here to assist you ALL through your State Approved celebration! And when I say State Approved celebration, I mean that in the most literal of senses. Because, erm...

Looks kind of like a donut box, I hope that no drunk relatives try to
eat fireworks tonight!

Yeah. State Approved Fireworks. To go with your State Approved Beer, and your State Approved Hamburgers to be eaten and enjoyed by your State Approved Friends!

NOM NOM NOM!!!

 

 And you'd better behave this 4th of July! Because Aryan Authority Figure Man is always watching. And he is ready and prepared (even EAGER!) to use his big muscles to discipline any n'er do wells who dare to do something that isn't State Approved!

But throwing fireworks at your brother is all the fun!

Aryan Authority Figure Man will be there, watching.

Skater Dude: Radical man, State-Approved Explosives!

Always watching, ever present...

Check it out, kids! I'm setting this top hat
on fire!

Always watching, never quite gone...

Aryan Authority Figure Man is wondering if any of those
kids want to go on a 'ride' with him...

 

 Always watching...

[shudder] Creepy. Hope you all had a great 4th of July! Happy Independence Day!!

Here's my Dad and younger sibs being crazy!

Hee hee

Libby really has a thing for Once Upon a Time. She loves it. I, on the other hand, really am not fond of it (though the Neverland part in Season 3 was GREAT!!). But me and Libby both agree that Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin is an awesome character. Maybe the most awesome character on the show.
So I made this.

Heh heh. If I had directed Once Upon a Time, it would have just been the Rumple show. XD

Kindle Fail!

Happy Halloween, friends!
For my birthday I received a lovely new kindle, complete with pretty blue case, which is so useful! It's hard to lug those big books I love to read around campus, so it's very pleasant to have around.
It also provided a laugh that I wasn't expecting.
This here is a picture of the X-Ray feature for A Tale of Two Cities. Some kindle books, you hit a button that says X-Ray, and you get a glossary of recurring terms and a little character guide to help you keep everyone straight. It's a good idea! But it could use a little work. See, it works by entering the name of the character or term into Wikipedia, and puts the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article. Sometimes it makes mistakes.

Do you see it? :D
I hope everyone has a good Halloween! If dreams came true, I might have been a better man* I wasn't so busy with my studying and stuff I'd have posted a review of The Nightmare Before Christmas today, but hopefully I can get that up sometime in this here last leg of 2014. How exciting! I love the last three months of a year.

*Don't mind me, just making a reference to some obscure musical. ;)
