"OK, one pack of You Fat Dead Loser and a Neck Hole 100s box. That'll be $22.50."

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced this month that starting in September all cigarette packs must feature graphic images of the negative health effects of smoking. The images must cover at least half the pack on both front and back.

They depict, among other nastiness, a sewn-up corpse, crying women and children, and the obligatory rotting lung and mouth shots — the go-to jerk-off material for temperance fetishists and zombie buffs. Here are all nine of the grisly new warning labels, courtesy of the FDA…

Dubai has always surprised the world with its amazingly tall buildings and wondrous constructions. Most of you have probably seen the Burj Al Arab; it’s the world’s most luxurious hotel and is noticeably shaped like the sail of a ship. Well, did you know that situated atop this glorious building is a tennis court?

You’ll notice the title of this post makes a distinction between looters and rioters. Looters are people who break stuff in order to steal things. Rioters are people who break stuff for great justice.

Even if said great justice is poorly articulated.

You may not think there is anything funny to be said about a plague of riots that ended up killing and injuring scores of people and causing untold structural and financial damage to the great cities of England.

Alas and as usual, your opinion is wrong. Some of us here at This Blog Rules happen to think everything is funny. Not because of some high-minded positive outlook on life, but because we are sick and in need of psychiatric treatment, preferably the kind that involves a bone saw and an ice pick.

No, it’s not too soon. In fact, it’s a bit tardy. It’s a good thing the people behind the now-famous website Photoshop Looter and its lesser-known offshoot Photoshop Rioter had our backs.

Beginning on August 9, 2011, Photoshop Looter began posting doctored images of the chaos while it was still going on. The apparent mission of PL is to make the looters look as ridiculous as possible.

Both of the sites blew up in popularity, and now there is allegedly a book in progress, with funds to support the cleanup efforts. So any prudes who think it’s wrong to laugh at tragedy can think about that until their hair lights up like a red double-decker.

We poured through the dozens of submissions featured on PL and PR and picked out our ten LOL-worthy favorites. All of them speak for themselves, but we’re comment on them anyway…

Back to school is in full swing and everyone is preparing for it. Parents are scouring the mall and and outlets to find good deals so they can get more for their dollar, and kids are ready to get back together with their friends. We came across this infographic created by our good friends over at High-Schools and thought it would be appropriate time to share with our readers. Some of the things featured in this infographics are pretty basic, such as getting enough sleep. However, you would be surprised to know that 85% of teens don’t get enough sleep.

As far as design goes, this infographic definitely has a visual appeal. It catches your eye and demands some attention. On the flip side, it does seem to be a bit weak when it comes to providing information. A bit more research and data would have definitely made this stand out among the rest that are floating on the web. Nevertheless, it is a good resource to have some of the data shown here are things I didn’t know about.

Here are a few interesting things to read before you dive into this fun infographic:

1. The average family spends about $600 each school year per kid
2. Bully prevention programs actually work and it has resulted in 50% less bullying
3. The average cost of school meal is between $2.70 and $3.10
4. You probably already knew this but 85% of teens don’t get enough sleep
5. Two out of six kids who are bullied become bullies

Check out the infographic for more fun facts and tidbits after the jump.

Baseball gets a bad rap because it’s no longer the “cool” sport to root for, because it’s a sophisticated sport that doesn’t involve smashing someone else’s face in. What’s more, it doesn’t have masculine positions to play, like the “tight end.”

But what people don’t take into account is that baseball players have to be just as in shape as any other athlete, and in some cases, they’re more conditioned than anyone else. In fact, we want to see those beefy football players try to pull off some of these stunts…
