Of course you do! Who wouldn’t?
Well, we’re all about to get our chance, thanks to Jennifer Lawrence‘s new partnership with Omaze benefitting Represent.Us, a non-partisan organization that wants to “fix America’s broken political system.”
While announcing the opportunity to win the boozy meet-and-greet, JLaw did a bit in which she tried to guess if a quote was from a wine review or a review of one of her movies. Hilarity ensued.
This “Absolut x Marvel” line isn’t real, but maybe — if enough folks post about it and the right marketing people get wind of it — the campaign could become a reality.
The good folks over at CBR first spotted these bottles, by Indonesian designer Krizia Soetaniman, who came up with the idea to combine the Absolut bottle with minimalist portraits of Marvel characters Captain America, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Thor, Hulk and — yes, really — Iron Man, along with baddies Venom and Magneto.
While this is liquor line is certainly not for children (or, seriously, alcoholic Tony Stark!), surely there are enough Marvel fans of legal drinking age around the world to justify putting this into production!
Looks like we have visual proof that December’s Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens will consider the franchise’s trademark severed-limb meme, and this time the victim is prissy protocol droid C-3PO (Anthony Daniels).
How do we know? An interesting soda can was discovered in Mexico and reported to the Making Star Wars website, which posted a photo. On the can, Threepio is depicted with a red left arm, suggesting the limb has been replaced at some point. C-3PO is seen with partner-in-crime R2-D2 and soccer-ballish droid BB-8, however each droid appears to have been pasted into a collage separately rather than the image representing a scene still (notice the sandy background behind BB-8).
It is entirely possible that this is an unofficial bootleg product — which would explain why the can was apparently found in a store south of the border. Officially licensed soda cans from a soft-drink giant are unlikely to leak six months early, but stranger things have happened. If this is a knock-off, it’s possible that the red arm is a Photoshop mistake or a printing error.
But it is also entirely possible that Threepio has been refurbished again. Remember, he has had a silver-plated lower right leg since the original movie, and he blown to pieces by stormtroopers in Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back, so it would be no biggie for him.
Episode VII opens Dec. 18, but you can watch the thrilling teaser trailer and the theatrical trailer now.
Brace yourselves, parents and kiddies – this could make you lose your lunch.
Burger-meister McDonald’s – once the home of Grimace and the Hamburgler – introduced another new mascot today, a computer-generated talking Happy Meal box called… wait for it… “Happy.” And, from its horrifying appearance, apparently his job is to make McDonald’s new “healthy” Happy Meals unpalatable to kids.
Or, at least make them afraid — eat, or be eaten!
Mission: Accomplished.

Who says China isn’t a capitalist wonderland? The latest weapon in the Chinese economic arsenal is Hello Kitty beer.
Yes, you read that correctly: Hello Kitty beer.
Officially licensed by Japanese company Sanrio, the elixir is brewed in Taiwan by Long Chuan, and it is only available in China (for now) . The brew comes in six fruity flavors, including lemon-lime, passion fruit, banana and peach, according to Geek Tyrant.
Kotaku went as far as obtaining some of the beer and giving it a taste-test. The result? It’s more like drinking fruit juice than an alcoholic beverage. The Hello Kitty label is 2.3 percent alcohol by volume — which isn’t much, but it’s still alcohol inside a can adorned with the global symbol of kawaii (cuteness). Kotaku’s critic says:
“The lemon lime flavor tasted like a light limeade of sorts, almost losing the lemon flavoring. It was smooth and sweet, like a lime soda. It didn’t taste like beer. The lime flavor was the strongest flavor in this brew. The peach one also tasted more like fruit juice than beer. It was good, but sickly sweet. Again, you can barely tell it’s beer. The only downside to the peach was that because it was so sweet, there was this weird, almost soapy after-taste at the end of each sip. The peachy-soapy flavor does linger on until something washes it away.”
Could that “something” be the collective tears of millions of little Hello Kitty fans?
