God I love John Hodgman. Ever since first seeing him on The Daily Show I recognized his genius, and so did apparently Jon Stewart, as from that first appearance he’s grown to become the show’s re-occurring “Resident Expert”. Since then of course he played the role of the hapless “PC” in those brilliant Mac ads, […]

The latest marketing masterpiece by British luxury lingerie house Agent Provocateur, titled Les Fleurs du Mal (“The Flowers of Evil”). Just like the last risque Soiree film, the girls get weird at a nudity-filled home invasion — turning into voracious bizarro fashionista cannibals that transform a meek housewife into some sort of lingerie vamp.
