USA, USA, USA! Shopping

If there’s one thing the US does better than anyone it’s shopping (and being fat, ). Black Friday was a big hit this year, and now it looks like there’s some sort of online shopping equivalent today. So if you want a flying alarm clock or a Saint Joseph figurine (Patron Saint of Real Estate, […]

Nicely Said Brotha

I found this commentary to be a brief and lucid assessment of the framing of political candidates in the televisual mediation of politics; specifically the process by which certain candidates are constructed as “extremist” or “irrelevant” in the political discourses of news media.

A series of underground temples in Italy inspired by the visions of a man named Falco (he’s not being rocked by Amadeus though).Besides the wonderful temples this group doesn’t worship a spiritual leader, and funds itself through small businesses and organic farming.Sounds too good […]

Under suspicion of illegal toad licking, a Kansas City man was arrested and released on bond. Every couple of years there’s a new cane toad licking story out of Australia.

While thieving monkeys may be getting the best of city residents (See: More Monkey Business in India), they are still at a nuisance threat-level.

Bayer Invented Heroin? Bayer Invented Heroin!

Qu’est que fuck! Bayer, the Aspirin guys, invented heroin. By the way, Bayer was also part of the IG Farben group of companies (along with BASF, AGFA, and other). IG Farben just happened to be one of Nazi Germany’s favorite chemical suppliers, manufacturing such niceties as Zyklon B, and taking full advantage of slave labour. […]

More Monkey Business in India

The Simian silliness in India continues with 1000 monkeys a week turning rogue and getting all up in peoples grills. This time it’s in Assam, maybe they rented out all their monkey fighting ninjas to Delhi.“Monkeys are wreaking havoc in my constituency by taking away mobile phones, toothpastes, sipping coke after opening the refrigerators,”They’re all […]
