We’re glad that whichever presidential pairing wins this year, history will be made.  The McCain/Palin ticket just got hit with their first bag of lemons. Let’s see what they can squeeze this into.

We’re still not sure if this is real…

A Puerto Rican man has been granted his wish to remain standing—even in death. A funeral home used a special embalming treatment to keep the corpse of 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina standing upright for his three-day wake.

A recent study shows that regardless of the fact that your child may not be watching TV, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the TV isn’t affecting their train of thought. 

Even if young children aren’t watching the TV, it may be distracting them from their play and depriving them of developing critical attention skills, a new study says.

 When children aged 3 and younger played in a room with a television on that was tuned to adult programming, they played for about 5 percent less time than when there was no background TV. More importantly, when there was no background TV, the children’s play was more focused with longer play episodes, the study found. 

“Background TV is a disruptive and distracting influence. Our evidence is that TV keeps the children from sustaining their attention at a time when developmentally, they’re beginning to organize their attention skills and sequencing behaviors”.

Cutest kids ever? Probably. Sure their handstand game is a little slow, but you know that’s only because they threw their backs out destroying your kid in a battle a few weeks ago. Big ups to their parents. This kind of greatness brought to you byThe Yard, by the way, where even the kids can come hang out.

Stay tuned 18 years from now when one of these little dudes curates his own issue of Frank. (Video shot exclusively for Frank).

If you thought pocket dialing emergency services just as you and your significant other were starting to get frisky made for an awkward situation, read what happened to this Marine.

This kid is 7 years old, and he just got in trouble for stealing a car. He keeps it pretty gangsta though, when asked if he should be punished, he suggests “just a little bit, no video games for a whole weekend.” All though too young to be prosecuted, police say “they do want to get him into the system to get him some type of help.”

Yeah, sounds like a great idea, because “the system” has such an excellent track record of helping young misguided children…

Manik is on some next shit. Charles Peterson’s decks alone are sort of mind-blowing. Eddie Vedder looks like Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols.

Big up Craig for the collabo (only the best photographers)… And big up Legends for Seattle in general.

Seems like childhood memories are the theme of the day…

DuckTales was the only Disney TV ‘toon we’d ever fuck with.  Uncle Scrooge always came correct… he rocked the spats and the private jets, made his fortune as a globe-trotting treasure hunter, and kept his assets so liquid he could swim in them… plus, you know he only drank the illest single malts money could buy. 

They probably edited out his Cubans.

 As an homage of sorts, the heads over at Fatal Farm in LA (who’ve made a name for themselves by taking unusually inventive liberties with retro classics) have reimagined McDuck and the curious relationship he had with his niece and nephews….  It’s unreal.  Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Next check out this gem Frank151 unearthed from the Disney vaults… 

The Beagle Boys got a cut of their own on the 1982 kids’ exercise tape Mousercise — it’s called “Get the Money” and it’s ripe for copyright abuse.  If anybody out there wants to chop this up or give it the Bmore treatment, please do so — and send it back to us, so we can all share the goodness.

During this holiday season, it is gestures like these that truly warm our hearts here at Frank151.
