10 Characters in Kids' Movies Who Must Have Been Scarred for Life

1. The Santa Clause

On Christmas Eve, Charlie Calvin's dad startles Santa Claus, which makes him fall off a roof and die. That is the premise of this family-friendly Christmas movie. This is horrifying.

Super Bowl Commercial Hashtags: Where Are They Now?

During the Super Bowl this past February, nearly every major commercial featured a prominent, unique hashtag to help "engage social media consumers" and "build virtual brand impressions" and all the other important things that normal humans who speak in normal ways say. As an avid Twittist myself, I know we all instantly rushed to Twitter to use these unique hashtags CONSTANTLY right after seeing the ads, but what happens to these hashtags months after the multi-million dollar Super Bowl commercials have aired?

I went and checked out some of the more prominent hashtags from this year's Super Bowl ads to see who's still using them in late April — here are 10 highlights of my investigation into these desolate graveyards of social media marketing buck$ extremely-well-spent:
