German-born, Paris-living fashion lord Karl Lagerfeld is ruling more than the Chanel label these days. He’s also taking toystore shelves to the catwalk. Mattel makes a highly limited edition Barbie dressed up like a Lagerfeld lookalike styled exactly like the fashion icon — ankle boots, slacks, tailored jacket, high-collar white shirt, black satin cravat, silver ponytail and […]

When FoxNews and the parade of lunatics known as the Republican Presidential Nominees callously vilify the Occupy Movement as treasonous, all the protesters really need to do is hold up an image of this four-wheeled travesty and I’m pretty sure everyone will get it. German model carmaker Robert Wilhelm Gülpen is out to set the […]

A whole year means a lot of amazingly awesome and amazingly bad crap we’ve found floating around this Great Existential Supermarket we all live in, so it’s time to get things going.
