<p style="text-align: center;">This guitar is total star wars geek badass. Comes equipped with an R2-D2 head stock, a plastic Millennium Falcon body with working lights / sounds and an asteroid field's worth of potential shredding hours. Those blue hyperdrive lights take me to a galaxy far far away. Anyway, do hit up the video and watch the guitar in action, you WILL like it. *waves hand*</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and you are about to ask your loved one the BIG question. How about you do it with some style. Pizza Hut style. That's right pizza hut is offering up a "Tie the Knot with the $10 Dinner Box" promotion that includes a ton of awesome stuff like a sparkly RUBY engagement ring that will forever remind her of your delicious peperoni and of course, some yummy pizza. Either way, it's a win for everyone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&middot; Limo service.<br /> &middot;&nbsp;A ruby engagement ring.<br />&middot; A bouquet of flowers.<br />&middot; A personal fireworks display.<br />&middot; A professional photographer.<br />&middot; A professional videographer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So for a $10,010 you pretty gaurantee that she will say YES to staying with you forever, because let's be honest here... if you are <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">insane</span> awesome enough to do this, then who knows what else you are capable of. Exactly, I can hear the macabre sound of your pizza cutters being sharpend to the beat of your heart.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Note: Pizza Hut will only be offering this deal to 10 "lucky" couples. SO ACT NOW!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">This video was made to bring awareness to the harmful ways of Nuclear energy. OK... I GET it, but the ironic thing here is that the computer you are on, the monitor you are viewing and the even the after effects that video was created with was, more than likely, powered by Nuclear energy. Maybe we will see some happy oil fields being burned in their next vid. :)</p>
