Oh lord, what is happening here? Is the Elephant Man in the flower-print pillow-case mask the “grocery cart”? Which one’s Susan and which one’s Gabriela? Oh Arkansas, WTF? Ha ha, it is just a misplaced caption! This is really just a harmless photo from the terrorism in Mumbai! Thanks, “Xavier O,” for the tip. [Arkansas Democrat Gazette]

Larry King doesn’t just hate the Internets — he also hates Christmas! But CNN’s star Yoda-muppet is so powerful that he got this gruesome picture immediately pulled from gossip site TMZ.com, which is also owned by Time Warner. Brilliantly disguised as a homeless man, King was apparently wandering around a Los Angeles mall trying to kill Santa Claus.

An eyewitness reported, “I first saw him at Santa’s door, I think he shook the doors. They were closed because Santa wasn’t seeing kids at the time. Larry forced the doors open and went inside, apparently searching for Santa. Two of Santa’s helpers escorted him out, and said something about Santa being available in 45 minutes.”

UPDATE: Now the picture’s back, but with new text claiming Larry “loves” Christmas. Sure he does, sure he does ….

Nothing says “War On Christmas” like a bunch of lousy little gifts bought in bulk for $28K-a-year junior staffers, or the local crack addict ringing the (fake) Salvation Army bell outside the CVS, or the office shitbird who brings a $2 bottle of undrinkable Charles Shaw to your holiday party you spent a thousand bucks stocking with good food and wine, or the 6 lbs. of LL Bean and Crate & Barrel catalogs crammed in your broken mailbox every single day, or the giant DC rats gnawing through the caterer’s trash on Embassy Row, or the cheerful sight of an abandoned date-rape preppie gal passed out in the gutter a half block from Smith Point.
