by +Alexa Rankin

Everyone's favorite online reference, Wikipedia, has been caught red-handed in a plot to take over the world, not with guns or bombs, but with information. The person that controls the information holds the power. Why else would governments around the world tap into it's people's phones?

Bubes Says - What kind of name is North?

Hi everyone, and congratulations to Kim and Kanye on the birth of your baby daughter. As a special tribute I posed as a baby and jumped into Kim's arms for an afternoon to give the new baby a break from the relentless paparazzi craning for some mother and baby pictures.

500 Posts

by +Ian C

Today, Slap the Penguin celebrates reaching 500 posts. As editor, I have to admit that there is an awful lot of filler that helped us get to 500, but it is still an astounding achievement for us. We also got there before the 3rd anniversary celebrations coming up in just a few weeks.

Can you believe that we have lasted this long?

Dear Tina - Addicted to Candy Crush

by +Tina Cruris

Dear Tina, there is no other way to say it. I think I am addicted to Candy Crush. I hear the words 'Sweet', 'Divine' and 'Sugar Crush' in my sleep, and when I am not playing it, I am thinking about playing it. I always have to get one last game in before I leave for work, and because of it I am arriving late. 

I find myself unable to concentrate until lunch when I skip eating to play Candy Crush on my phone. Then, when I get home, the first thing I do before taking my shoes off is switch on my laptop to play.

I have been blowing off my friends and family to play Candy Crush and I am starting to hate the person I have become. I have gone as far as creating a second facebook account so I can play while my lives are regenerating on the first account.

My credit card bill arrived 3 days ago and I am scared to open it because I have been buying lives and boosters. I am worried that I have spent way to much money on this game.

Please, please help me,

Candy Crusher

With one of America's biggest holidays less than 2 weeks away, law enforcement officers are clamping down on drivers and passengers not wearing seat belts. With catchy slogans like "Click it, or Ticket!" they have been brainwashing us to buckle up.

by +Brad Naylor

A doctor from Texas has had his personalized license plate revoked after numerous complaints that it is offensive and crude. Seymour Kuntz M.D., a 37 year old gynecologist at Dallas Medical Center, registered the plate in 2008 with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV), who processed the application without question or hesitation regarding possible offensive messages.

Offensive or Descriptive?

Bubes Says - Stay away from him, YOU BITCH

Hi people of Earth, for those of you who don't know who I am, my name is Michael Bublé and I am a recording artist and an international superstar. However when I am not busy in the studio or being rich and famous around the globe, I like to get into some kind of adventure. This week, believe it or not, I recreated those happy times I spent as Sigourney Weaver's stand-in and stunt double when she played Ellen Ripley.

That's right Alien Penguins. Leave Stephen Hawking alone

Alien Penguins: The Real Story

People of Earth. While it is true that we have crossed galaxies to visit your planet to reverse global warming, the rest of our story was not entirely accurate. We were not planning on waking your race up after 1000 years of hibernation. The real reason for keeping you alive in stasis is to provide fresh food for those of us who volunteered to colonize your planet.

Hey ladies, it's time for your weekly fix of me, Michael Bublé.

What got slapped 12 months ago - June 2012

by +Tina Cruris 

It is time once again for our monthly RESLAP of what happened this time last year. We used to do this weekly, but some of us have lives outside of the internet so now it is a monthly occurrence. The concept is simple, it encourages newer readers to delve into the archives and see what we were doing 12 months ago when we were no doubt funnier and more enthusiastic. It also allows us to cross link the archives for better search engine presence. So sit back, relax and enjoy the highlights from June 2012. (HINT: click the titles to read the full story).
