Welcome back to the glorious US of A, Kevin Rose! This week we recall bungee jumping and bug bite adventures from New Zealand, and digg into your top submitted stories including walking on lava, AMC boycotting Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, crazy British soldiers from the 60s on LSD, GM to shut down Hummer for good, the most adorable little Voltron girl ever, and a shootout to our neighbors of the Great White North: Canada's lovely female hockey team!

I Think We Should Start Running [Pic]

Would you ever go walking on the lava of a volcano? Alex would try it. And speaking of things we would have to be double dog dared to do, Alex talks about his upcoming aviation excursion with the Blue Angels! Vomit preparation is in act!

AMC Boycotts Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

If AMC were to boycott the movie it would be a huge blow, considering that they account for over 4,500 screens worldwide. Do you think you would skip seeing a movie in a theater if just a few weeks off you can watch it in the comfort of your own home and giant OLED display on Blu-ray? We think this one that's going to be "really trippy" in Kevin's words - and 3D is a must.

1964 LSD Test on British Marines [Video]

What happens to the army if you give them LSD? This is documentary evidence of an experiment testing just that, carried out on British marines in 1964. This very matter of fact narrative is simply ah-mazing. Kevin thinks this should be our new weapon of choice for our armed forces: spray them fu**ers with LSD.

Stay Classy, Canada [Pic]

Check out this classy Canadian lady. Gold winning female hockey team celebrated with beers and cigars in the loveliest of fashion. The media is giving these chicks some flak… but honestly, BFD. Let them celebrate! And another very heartfelt congratulations from us to Canadia for beating us at hockey. You fu**ers.

Breaking News: GM to Shut Down Hummer

Less than a month after General Motors extended its contract to sell its Hummer brand to China’s Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machines Co., Ltd., the Detroit automaker has announced that it will not complete the deal.. Not only that, but the military has stopped purchasing hummers for military vehicles. Maybe when they were solely for military use, they were acceptable. But once we started to see families and soccer moms tanking themselves to the grocery store… we can't say this is a sad farewell.

Voltron Girl [Pic]

Doesn't seeing kids in costumes make you want to reproduce?! This will. We doubt she even watches Voltron, but this rules.
