If you haven’t seen this on Facebook or Twitter, today (December 5th) would have been Walt Disney’s birthday. Although he’s been dead for almost 45 years, his legacy still has a profound impact on pop culture. We’ve all heard the crazy stories about him: ones that range from Walt being an anti-Semite to him having his head being cryogenically frozen. But, if you’d like to know the truth, check out our 10 facts about the cartoon mastermind after the jump.

At COED we try to pay homage to the funniest and most WTF sh*t on the interwebs. With our “Websites of the Week” column, we’ve done just that. If you’re looking to murder some time, you can’t do any better than our suggestions. This week’s sites feature the hardest rocking T-Shirts around, Halloweeners or  hipsters, and gender-bending Disney characters. Check out this week’s top suggestions then submit your nominations for future WOTW in the comments section after the jump.

July 17th marks the anniversary of Disneyland’s opening. While many of us East Coasters opt for Disney World, we hear Disneyland ain’t so bad either. In brainstorming ways to honor this momentous date, we thought maybe we could do creepy and/or awkward pics of scared kids with characters or the most dangerous rides, but when we saw one of the vintage posters it was a no-brainer. We have a soft spot for vintage posters and you might, too, after checking out our gallery of yesteryear artwork. Check it out after the jump.

Remember Nick Pitera, the guy everyone all over the internet is calling “The One Man Disney Movie”? If you don’t, Nick’s got the insane ability to sing songs from various Disney animated films whether they are sung by the hero, heroine or villain quite well – some are better than others to tell the truth. A few days ago, a fan of Nick’s work put together this video mashup of his voice edited along with the musical numbers from Disney movies and the end result is nothing short of fantastic. Nick’s certainly got a bright future and Disney would be crazy not to hire him as a voice actor… but they might just send a bunch of their legal goons in Mickey ears to show up at his door, strong-arming him to cease and desist. Taste the magic after the jump!

COED sat down with Oscar nominated animator Bill Plympton at his studios right down the hall from us here in New York City to discuss working with Kanye West, Weird Al Yankovic, a peckerneck poet, and Sarah Silverman.

Despicable Me eclipsed Eclipse at the B to the O last weekend, taking in $56 mil and averaging over $16k per theater. Predators slid in under Eclipse at #3 with a take of $24 mil.

Movies and war go together like Britney Spears and Cheetos. Like Jon Gosselin and douchebaggery. When there’s a war going on, chances are someone out there is making propaganda films for it. Here are clips of five of the funniest propaganda films ever made.

When we first saw this crop of 5 Hollywood Starlets they were cute little kids, the kind of kid you can’t help but like. Lucky for us, they have grown up now, and we can’t help but watch and love them even more, except for totally different reasons now.

Happy 81st Birthday to the world’s oldest bipedal talking rodent! Yes, on this day in 1928, Mickey Mouse made his television debut in Steam Boat Willie. Who would’ve known this simple line-drawn mouse would go on to be the most famous cartoon character in the history of animation? So in typical COED fashion, we thought we’d celebrate this joyous event by giving a whole heaping helping of beautiful girls adorned by the master of mice. Enjoy.

Looks like Spider-Man will be hanging out with Mickey Mouse more often than he wants. The Walt Disney Company has agreed to acquire Marvel Entertainment and all its superheroes. The total cost of the acquisition will be around $4 billion. Disney will now have access to over 5,000 Marvel characters, some of them which include house hold names like Spider-Man, X-Men, and Iron-Man.

Now that movie studios have seen success in The Dark Knight, 300, Sin City and most recently, Alan Moore’s Watchmen, they will almost certainly be clamoring at the door for even more graphic novels to adapt into feature films. So here are the 5 graphic novelists you should know – before Hollywood destroys their work.

Thanks to satirical cartoons and recorded history, it’s pretty common knowledge that Walt Disney was a nut bag. Besides being obsessed with cryogenically freezing his own head, the guy was an anti-Semite and hired Nazi rocket scientists to design his rides.
Then there’s the racism and sexism in all of the cartoons his company has produced.

And next they will probably try to pee in your coke. In a decidedly uncool move, the defending Olympic Men’s B-Ball champs, Spain, has chosen racism as there method for making a funny. Apparently, the Spanish Basketball Federation had the team pose for a group photo, which would be used as a good luck advertisement to be posted in different publication… Click to read more
