SPOILER ALERT: Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father. Okay, that might be the most unnecessary spoiler alert ever (aside from ruining the ending of Titanic) but chopping off your son's hand, leaving him for dead and attempting to convert him to evil is not going to win you any "Father of the Year" awards. If ... continue reading

With any of these Rapping Papers ... continue reading

Valentine's Day is the ultimate Hallmark holiday. We don't know much about good ol' St. Valentine, but we're pretty sure giant red hearts, boxes of candy and sexy underwear wasn't what he was all about. At any rate, most of us still get suckered into the novelty of it all. We've told you what not to get your girlfriend ... continue reading
Don't try too hard to be original and write some cheesy poem to let her know how you feel—stick to the classics. No, we're not talking Shakespeare sonnets here. (Would either of you even understand what you were saying?) Stank Sentiments for Sweethearts quote a different kind of rhyming masterpiece, namely rap songs. ... continue reading
