Sunday Link-Off: Wonderful Easter Time

christina-hendricks-rhapsody14-01It’s Easter Sunday but that doesn’t mean that we’re taking the day off. Granted, because the rest of the internet has been on holiday since Thursday, the links are a bit thin but I’ve still found the best posts from around the interweb over the last half-week.

Since there’s another new episode of Mad Men today, I thought that I’d start this post with Christina Hendricks. Not only does United Airlines have poor customer service but their magazine did an unforgivable crime of photoshopping Christina almost beyond recognition.

The history of wrestling in Detroit extends beyond just WWE shows at the Cobo Arena and the body slam heard around the world at WrestleMania III. It also includes the man known simply as The Sheik. (The Masked Man)

You’ve heard of professional teams competing for world championship banning their players from having sex but one co-ed kickball team is taking the competition so seriously that the coach emailed the men on the team to tell them that they couldn’t sleep with the women on the team until the season is over. (Deadspin)

Canadian restaurant chain Boston Pizza has created a six-layer Pizza Cake. No. Just no. (Eater)

This is probably the best video we’ll ever run on this blog. You’ve seen guys parkour before you haven’t seen parkour until you’ve seen Jumpy the parkouring dog.

With the Stanley Cup Playoffs underway, the NHL put together a season highlight montage. They should have let the CBC handle it. They’re far better at it than anyone else in the world.
