Avast me mateys, batten down the hatches, hoist the aft sheets and shiver me timbers! I don’t know what any of that means either but typing it felt right when paired with the Gladstone hunting kit bag from G.J. Cleverley. This limited edition bag was hand crafted from Russian leather which was salvaged from the […]

For all she knows, it could be solid asphalt
Whoever first uttered the phrase, “It’s the thought that counts,” didn’t live in a postmodern, consumerist country. Give me an uncut diamond and I’m polishing it up until my right arm is disproportionately bigger than the left (like it’s not already, psh!). But it’s all masturbation anyway, right? Besides, I was thinking of getting my […]

It's like a condom for your magazines
Designer Yu-hun Kim has come up with the perfect way for you to protect your porn magazines (if you still do the deed to print, grandpa). I know that while I’m in my study and engaged in leisurely reading of my copy of War and Peace—in Russian, mind you—I like to keep things nice and […]

Each sculpture is crafted from individual photographs
Korean artist Gwon Osang must have the corner on this market, I’ve never seen anything like it. He’s taken the traditional idea of 2D collage and brought it into the realm of 3-motha-fuckin-D with his photo sculptures. Each sculpture is crafted from individual photos of the subject, except for maybe the Jesus sculpture…I’m still trying […]

As integral to Filipino culture as fake boobs in America or dry wit to the Brits
The referee made sure the two curved razors were snugly fastened to each of Domingo’s grey reptilian feet. This battle-cock is a trained killer. Imported from the United States to the Philippines for his superior genetics (possibly from these guys?), Domingo flares his feathers—his comb stands erect on his head like a bright red avian […]

What will you think of your answers a year from now?
The idea of a time capsule is one that always intrigues us as a species, otherwise we wouldn’t keep doing it. We take pictures so we can remember…ummm…all the times we got wasted in Tijuana, blacked out and tried to jerk off the donkey…we’ve all done that, no? Our friends remind us, but pictures immortalize […]

Evnironmental museum in a mall...ironic?
Your favorite smog-fighting, 501c3 non-profit is back, and this time they’re not sweating balls in Coachella desert heat. They’re in an air-conditioned mall…in Hollywood. The space was donated by the Hollywood & Highland Center. Thanks capitalist pigs! “It’s the first ever environmental theme park,” says Eric Ritz, founder/director of Global Inheritance, the organization behind Environmentaland. […]

When you gotta go, you gotta go...
If most or all inventions come as a result of necessity, then this one takes the toilet cake. Richard “The Big Shit” Wharton, founder of the the Brown Corporation, was on day three at a festival and had to go. He didn’t want to use the port-a-shitter (can you blame him?) and didn’t want to […]
