Seems like Pikachu and Simba aren't the only beloved characters to get the realistic live-action movie treatment! Sonic has joined there ranks, much to the horror of his very, very devoted fans. A poster for the film was released just two days ago, and the speedy hedgehog's worshippers are not pleased with his appearance. The very obscured image shows that Sonic's gotten brolic and lacks his signature gloves. The poster was even compared to Sanic, a meme of the character but very crudely draw. After the initial outcry, people started responding with parodies and memes. The memes are definitely decent, but we're more troubled by the possibility of a Ugandan Knuckles comeback. It's horrifying.

PETA's marketing team had a serious win yesterday after releasing their chart of alternatives to "anti-animal language." If you missed this, check out our post here.

Connect Four box parodies have been around since 2007, but they're making a huge resurgence after being featured on the r/memeeconomy subreddit earlier this month. The parodies range from dark and surreal to classic nonsensical shitposts. We've put together a healthy combination of our favorite and most bizarre examples of the Photoshops - who's down for a game?
Brooklyn has long been known for its trendy food scene, offering up unicorn lattes, rainbow bagels, and the bizarre raindrop cake. New York City in general stakes its claim as a destination for pizza, bagels, and of course - pastrami sandwiches. Brooklyn is not, however, known for its barbecue. And Twitter was very quick to remind Vice's Munchies of this fact after they tweeted a very sad plate of meat from Williamsburg's Fette Sau restaurant. The tweets of shame and the parodies are very, very entertaining.
The latest Spider-Man film reboot was released this past Friday to mostly positive reviews - and a whopping $117 million in US box office sales. We urge you to see the film if you haven't, but in the meantime we've rounded up our favorite parodies of the movie's very crowded poster.
Oh, and in case you hadn't heard: Iron Man is in the movie.

Following that savage cardboard shred show up above, let's check out what must be the most unexpected cameo amidst a play of the game...of all time...
Oh Winston, how you've changed.
Dang shame his tea-pouring skills fell short, and couldn't carry him through to victory.
Lucio's got mad crazy skillz, man...
How bout a big round of applause for Bastion, the world's greatest robot?
Oh you best cower in fear of the reaper, measly mortals.
The logo might look innocuous to some, but most people see something that is not entirely safe for work. The re-branding is really causing a stir.
