An ex-girlfriend gave me a Simpsons brand Chili pack. It's a ceramic Chili pepper for holding dip (with a green spoon for a stem!) which came packaged with a rather average salsa. 
It is both the most bafflingly obscure tie-in I can imagine and one of the best presents I've ever received.

On the upside, thanks to it's eventual DVD release I was able to gorge on a full season of Parks and Rec which was only mildly spoilt by the internet.

It's a pretty skeezy situation she describes but I think the rape accusation is a bit OTT. This is like groupie 101, a band doesn't invite a cute young girl back to their hotel room to discuss Wittgenstein.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis apparently. They even have a song about it.

They played last year at a club two blocks from my house. I found out about it the next day and have been bitter about it since. Doubly so now.
