Via.

*Buy Companion Cubes at eBay.

1. Warren Ellis describes the origin of Valentine's Day (it involves werewolves). (I'm sure his site is NSFW.)

2. Especially with the nonsense this week about how video games cause rape, this is a particularly interesting observation:

For years we've been told that violence on TV creates imitation in real life. What, are police exempt from this theory? If a TV network makes felonies committed by a cop under color of authority entertainment, network standards and practices is complicit in fostering an atmosphere of lawlessness and disrespect for the Bill of Rights that can only encourage more official lawlessness.

3. Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso have deals with Nike. ESPN claims that it didn't know. (Herbstreit called the national championship, if I remember correctly. It'd be interesting to listen to the broadcast and see if he praised Oregon's uniform.) Via.

3. Finally, zombie and stalker-themed Valetines.

Link roundup

1. Some nice Mignola-esque art on display at Thomas Kovach's site.

2. Apparently Hellen jo is an excellent person to commission artwork from.

3. Two Commander Riker Valentines. Via.

*Buy Star Trek cologne at Entertainment Earth.

Link roundup

1. How does the Huffington Post draw so much traffic? Well, for one thing, it's the third result on Bing for "sex." Via.

2. Free downloadable rules for transforming Scrabble, Clue, Monopoly, and Trivial Pursuit into Valentine's Day-themed games.
