Video: Watermelon Half-Pipe Performance Art on a Japanese Game Show
It's the skill you didn't know you were missing: smoothly eating across a watermelon slice with a snowboarder painted on your face so it looks like the snowboarder is using the watermelon as a half-pipe....Buy a Home, Get Pork and Beans
[Image: The Daily Herald] For the not-very-discerning home buyer easily swayed by canned food, Consumerist reports that Clayton Homes in Tennessee is wooing buyers with the offer of a free can of pork and beans with purchase of a house (the ad is viewable at The Daily Herald). It's only valid until December 31, so you better get that home now. Or else you'll have to go to a supermarket. [via Neatorama]...Video: Crappy Canadian Thanksgiving with Ellen Page and Justin Long
Welp, it's that time of the year again. Crappy Canadian Thanksgiving. In this pretty twisted video, Canadian actress Ellen Page celebrates with the typical poutine, Degrassi, and a little too much Canadian Club. But what did her pals, including that harmless-looking Justin Long, really mean by coming over for dinner. Yeah, that was the twisted part.

[Photographs: Flip Flop Flyin'] Craig Robinson of Flip Flop Flyin collects many things that you do not, such as stuck Tic Tacs.

[Photograph: Central European News] I'd feel funny chomping into the head of one of these Buddha-shaped pears, but they're popular in their home city of Hexia, China. Farmer Gao Xianzhang spent six years perfecting his Buddha pear-making craft, resulting in this season's crop of 10,000 pears, each one grown in its own mold. The price of one of these cute pears? About $8. Related Finally! A Heart-Shaped Watermelon Spherical Is Out: Human-Shaped is In...Finally! A Heart-Shaped Watermelon
[Photograph: Weird Asia News] If the square watermelon concept still kind of blows your mind, this will straight explode it. A Japanese farmer and his wife have cultivated a heart-shaped watermelon. "It was an act of love for the couple where they wanted the fruit of their labor to symbolize their feelings for each other," according to Weird Asia News. Each fruit, which took three years to perfect, is going for 15,750 yen ($160).

"What is the almost magical appeal of chocolate? There's something in chocolate that makes one want to have a lot," declares the narrator in this video. Which is sort of funny because, if you watch this video, all your current and future chocolate cravings will probably be destroyed. Extreme close ups of poorly styled chocolate really hit the message home that chocolate looks a lot like poop. Watch the video after the jump....Video: 'Don't You Put It In Your Mouth' PSA
If anyone can educate children to not put random things in their mouths, it's a singing duo of fuzzy, blue, demonic-looking puppets who don't have legs. Their message? If you want to put something in your mouth and you're not sure what it is, don't eat it unless a loved one tells you it's OK.
