Such As It Is... | Tragic Comedy

Best stuff I found this week.

Christmas stuff you either can't afford or shouldn't buy anyway.
Spectacular pieces of sculpture made from the incredible, edible egg.
Weekly dose of morbidity.
Humor from a master.

Video of the week: Cartman does football color commentary.
