  Let's be honest. Sometimes you find yourself rooting for the bad guy. Don't be ashamed. Even Obama admitted that Omar was the best character in The Wire. How many of you secretly wanted Walter White and Gus to drop the beef and become best friends for Team Awesome? FACT: Nobody watches Hannibal because they like Clarice. Frank Underwood. Dr. Evil. Mugato. Danny Trejo playing Danny Trejo. The shark that played Jaws. The asteroid in Armageddon. Ernie McKracken, anyone? Sometimes it feels good to be bad. Sometimes it smells good. And every now and then, it sure as hell tastes good. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 10 care packages to give away this week featuring gourmet beef jerky from Righteous Felon Jerky Cartel! There are four scandelous flavors of jerky - Victorious B.I.G., Che-Potlé Guevara, O.G. Hickory, and our office favorite, Habanero Escobar. Handmade in small batches, Righteous Felon exclusively uses quality natural ingredients and Black Angus Beef without the hormones, antibiotics, or preservatives you tend to find in mass produced snacks. They also donate a portion of all sales to The Innocence Project, which is a non-profit "national litigation and public policy organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals through the use of DNA testing and reforming the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice." Righteous, indeed. Each winner gets 2 packs of Righteous Felon jerky and a Freaker of your choice! HOW TO ENTER: It's a two-fer today! Get on Facebook, share our Kickstarter link, then find this graphic and leave us a photo comment with your favorite villain for your chance to win! Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!

Conventional wisdom: Home is where the heart is. There's no place like home. Make yourself at home. Your home is your castle. Home is where the wifi automatically connects. 2015 wisdom: Home is also on your feet. Show your home the love and affection it deserves. We've made a Freaker Feet style for every state flag in the union! Check out the Greetings From line to get a sneak peek of your state's design. Spoiler alert: state flags are weird and wonderful! We can't wait to freak your feet! Happy Wednesday!

Oooh, buddies oh babies! There are two weeks left in the Freaker Feet Kickstarter campaign and we've started getting in production samples for the socks of dreams. There are 127 Freaker Feet designs in total, and they're divided up into 4 categories: Boutique, Football, Greetings From and Team Spirit! You: "What the bird is happening on the socks in the photo?" Freakerteam: "Well, Larry, that's an alpaca smoking a cigarette with laser eyes looking at a girl butt. It's called Alpacass. He's a rising star in the Boutique Line." You: "My life will never be the same. Thank you for everything you do, Alpacass." Alpacass: "You can always count on me, Larry!" And they all lived happily ever after. (Invite your friends to join the fun! Good things come to those who share Freaker Feet on their social platforms. It has been written. Okay love you bye!!)

Hi Friends! Let's get Reid from Criminal Minds on our Kickstarter feet team! We've composed a tweet for you to help us bombard the dear soul into doing a Zach Crain impression! Click here to tweet Reid! It has come to our attention that there is a parallel universe. In this hyper-sciencey dimension, there exists a criminal Investigation Unit much like our Hot Cop Spandex Investigation Unit. This parallel universe is called Criminal Minds - and yes, that sounds spookily close to the Freaker Minds in our video campaign. There is even a Zach Crain doppleganger character named Reid! We need to freak this Reid. We need to freak his Reid feet. We need you help in freaking his feet. We Reid your help. We've seen Zach Crain's Reid impression, but to make the circle complete, we would love to see Reid's Zach Crain impression. Everybody! We’ve composed a tweet to blast Reid with. All you have to do is click here and wah-lah! Magic! May the force be with you. Tweet Reid now!

Dearest backers, friends, and earthlings, We would like to formally invite you on a luxury trip inside of Zach Crain's ear. In this spectacular holiday cruise around Freakerville, you’ll discover the mystical (yet modern!) ways of a colorful community on the coast of North Carolina. Journey across the internet, get out of your old stink socks and into our hearts. On this exotic vacation, you will meet the good folks who you are supporting when you back Freaker Feet. They thank you for everything with the light of a million bluetooth suns! We have 21 days left to raise the rest of our funding on Kickstarter and we can’t do this without you! Please help us share and spread this campaign like butter across the world wide web! Come on in, shoes off, socks on, and let us nestle you! We love you. Lots. And lots.

Johann Sebastian Sock! Thanks for the sweet art-ing, Dave Mercer! We launched our Freaker Feet Kickstarter campaign almost two weeks ago with big dreams, lots of love, and a warm trust-fall into this community. You (yes you! and you and you and you!) are making dreams come true over here, and for that we are melting with gratitude! Some frequently asked questions we've been noticing: Q.) Will I get to choose my designs when the project is funded?! A.) Absolutely! When the time comes, we'll be sending you a "backer survey" that will allow you to pick and choose whatever designs strike your fancy! Q.) A shark bit off half of my left foot, do I need to request different sizes? A.) Freaker Feet are One-Size-Fits-Most! You should be in the clear, buddy! Q.) I wear a size 69 in lady shoes. Will these fit me? A.) We have a wide variety of shoe sizes in the Freaker Office, from a woman's size 6 to a man's size 14, and these little babies fit all of them perfectly! Q.) A lot of the reward packages come with something suggestively named Freaker. What the hell are you talking about? A.) Freakers are amazing! They are one-size-fits-all insulators that keep all of your drinks cold and your hands dry! They, also, are made right here in the Freakin' USA! For more info, check out our website here! Q.) I noticed that the Arizona flag has the state of Arkansas on it. Is this a secret ploy to re-map the United states? A.) The fun part about showing the world your project before it's manufactured is that you can help us work out the wonky mistakes we've made! All of these issues will be fixed when Freaker Feet hits production! WOO! Q.) Some of the early-bird specials are about to reach capacity. Can I still get that sweet deal after they've all been claimed? A.) Sorry, Charlie. Once they're gone, they're gone! Hop on the early-bird train today for the ultimate street cred! Q.) Can we hug? A.) I thought you would never ask. The hug bug is real and we have the cure! If you have any other questions / hopes / dreams / etc - feel free to reach out via Kickstarter or email! Support@freakerusa.com ! Okay love you byeeee!

Dearest Captain Freakadoids, Our co-founder and video magician, Oliver Mellan needs your help finishing his new film - Radiaton Filters! It’s a humorously serious docu-narrative about the relationship between and evolution of humans and nuclear energy. The film is focused on "the next step” of nuclear radiation and healing and it’s a wild ride so do yourself a favor and give it a whirl, little chickies! Check out his Kickstarter campaign here!

Remember the documentary in which the founder of Wikipedia, Obama's design director, and Zach in a banana suit all did a dance for crowdfunding? Filming started yesterday.

 Today we got an email informing us that the big-kid table just got bigger. The newest interviewee is a technological hero and modern visionary.

There is a really fantastic Kickstarter campaign currently crowdfunding for a feature-length documentary ...about crowdfunding. HOW FUNCTIONALLY META! Capital C is the creation of Timon Birkhofer, a German joy-warrior with familial roots in North Carolina! In this film, Timon (You can cal...
