X-Mas Origins: Santa Claus
Welcome back, folks. I hope everyone had a pleasant holiday break and that this week is as happily meaningless for you as it is for 70% of the civilized world. Sure, we all may have to go to work, but we’re all phoning it in, and no one really expects anything to get done in the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day. Unfortunately, that means there’s little actual nerd news for me to report, but rest assured that Topless Robot will be here to help wile away those hours between 9am and 5pm with nonsense like the above X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Santa Clause mash-up. Sadly, I have to imagine that if this were real it would still be significantly less goofy than the actual Wolverine movie. (Via /Film)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
