You’ll Laugh, You’ll Cry, You’ll Hurl. The Gizmodo Food Photoshop Contest
Gizmodo’s Photoshop contests always light up my week. This time around the theme was disgusting processed foods. Man, Gizmodo readers are sick bastards! View a gallery of my most vomit inducing favorites after the jump.

Film for DC’s Lobo in the Works?
Back in the 90s, in my high school art class, a dude I knew was obsessed with Lobo. All his art projects involved this humorous, yet very dark and violent DC character. Lobo was kind of DC’s answer to Wolverine (they do fight each other in one story line!) but darker, ruder and very irreverent.
Latino Review has posted a video review of the script. I don’t know much about the character, but just looking at the visuals I’ve seen, it looks like a Lobo film could be a lot of fun. As long as they go as dark as the source material, I think it could be fantastic.

WTF? Homemade Wolverine Claws?
This is just a guess, but I think that Mr. “Real Wolverine Claws” doesn’t spend too much with the ladies. Case in point: this nameless MetaCafe user has created REAL Wolverine Claws that can actually do some damage. These “new and improved” claws release when the bicep is flexed.
The springs are quicker. It locks in the back position so it can be cocked and ready. It has a release for that lock near the bicep, so with it positioned just right flexing your bicep will actually release it. It also locks in the forward position so when you stab something the claws don’t retract on the track.
While somewhat cool, this also could be a cry for help. I’m no expert, but if my wife caught me building my own set of real Woverine blades, she’d be a bit concerned. And I most likely would spend my nights on the couch.
