    Press kits are always good fun and Acura sent out a massive display for Thor. It’s supposed to be some sort of hero aptitude test but it’s really just a cardboard box containing random crap. The highlight is test #3 in which you’re suppose to reanimate a scorpion with an included sugar cube and then battle it until one of us dies. Well, the scorpion came with a broken tail and after nervously waiting a few minutes for the little guy to wake up with just the sugar cube, I added a bit of water. That didn’t work. I think I won.

    Anyway, the kit also came with an Acura-branded Pulse Smartpen. Why? I don’t know. But it can be yours! For free! I just need your help with something. It’s easy. Here, follow me.

    I need your help deciding what movie to go see this weekend. The choices are Thor or Fast Five. Leave a comment below with your opinion and I’ll pick a winner at random, which will also decide the movie I’m going to waste $40 bucks on.

    Official rules:

    • One entry per person
    • Must have a US shipping address
    • Use your real email address so I can contact you
    • Contest ends at midnight tonight
    • The winner only gets the Pulse Smartpen and accessories. I already threw away the press kit.
