Darkwing Duck, after retiring from fighting crime in the 1990s, emigrates to Gifville for a new life. Once settled, the plucky ex-good guy reinvents himself as a master Guitar Hero player – competitive level. Who said heroes couldn’t be reborn?

The Spork was the online name of a popular contributor on Ratedesi Forums, while the ladies featured in the above GIF were also regulars to the South Asian gossip shop. I don’t know if this was because he got arrested, permabanned or something. #JusticeForSpork !!

As much as it sounds cool to believe, no I haven’t suddenly jumped from being a blogger to becoming a Tamil film superstar. But this GIF shot of the opening credits of a ‘mass’ blockbuster are in honour of Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar, who is considered one of the ‘gods’ of South Indian cinema, so at least I have a little claim to fame by name association!

In Japan back in 2005, a man tries to mug a woman of her purse in a lift. Gets the slamming of a lifetime. However many who have seen the video of the suplex revenge claim it a hoax. Who knows?
