In the year 2000, America is ruled by an emperor masquerading as the President. With his power, and to preserve that power, he created the Race. Every year, violent role-playing psychopaths are placed behind the wheels of high performance killing machines and sent across the country. Their goal is to run down as many pedestrians as possible, earning points for every person who becomes a screaming pile of road hash. Points for kills are determined by the victim’s age and sex (women are worth ten extra points). The nation gleefully subscribes to this gory event, even embraces it.

This is Death Race 2000, a movie that was made in 1975. It is absolutely insane. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: ‘Death Race 2000’

Paste up your faded posters of the creme filled pastry outlaw once again! Hostess has returned … sort of.

It’s been a long and grueling 6 months for snack food aficionados, but Hostess is bringing back Twinkies and Ho-Hos. While it’s not set a firm time table yet, the company is opening up bakeries and hopes to have the convenience store staple back in stores by the end of July.

For those that love the angel food cakes, raise your arms in victory.

If it weren’t for the moon, we’d all be speaking Southern right now, according to a couple scientists.

In a new study, they claim that it was the full moon light that led to Confederate General Stonewall Jackson’s own troops to mistake him for the enemy night raid and shoot him, eventually leading to his death. Some say Jackson’s death in 1863 tipped the war in the Union’s favor, but that’s because they want to hinge the outcome of a four-year war on a single event.

The two researchers from the Texas State University (surprisingly, people in the South aren’t over the Civil War) say that based on witness testimony, the bright moonlight was at just the wrong angle, with the light on Jackson’s back, it was tough for the soldiers on guard to distinguish who the riders were.

But the question remains, did the moon act alone?
