Awesome Thing of the Week

This is what we learned from last week's Awesome Thing: If we ever draft a SparkNotes manifesto, in which we enumerate the many ways and reasons Sparklers bond with one another, we would NOT include creepiness.

In fact, it appears that nothing's more divisive on SparkLife than a high creep factor. Some you love it, some of you give it a big ol' -10.

As a result, the creepy pencil video got a 4.66 on the Scale of Awesomeness. Are you surprised?

This week, we're dying to introduce you to a new site called Sketchy Santas, which is basically a bunch of photos of terrified children. Ahhh memories!

Take a good look at Sketchy Santas and let us know what you think! -10? 10? Somewhere in between? Can't look at it anymore because you just laughed so hard your stitches busted open and you're on your way to the hospital, reading this on your iPhone? Rate the site on our Scale of Awesomeness!
