MUTO, graffiti animation

This short animation, MUTO, by artist BLU is just incredible. It was actually made by painting on walls in public spaces and then covering and repainting, like a billion times. Brilliant work.

“viral” promo video for Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder

I saw this short promotional video for Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder during the MTV Movie awards, which I did not watch and was terrible at the same time. This video, however, is fucking hilarious. This is the kind of marketing people pay attention to. Please watch.

I’m going to stand in the street in front of the reviewing […]

wet-wipe manifesto

In Dubai and all over the Middle East, most bathrooms are equipped with what I jokingly called the “ass nozzle”. It’s a hose coming out of the wall with a pistol grip water nozzle, similar to that found on the flexible hose next to your kitchen sink. It’s purpose, of course, is to help you […]

George Carlin has passed away at age 71. Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, CockSucker, MotherFucker, Tits!
I love words. I thank you for hearing my words. I want to tell you something about words that I think is important. They’re my work, they’re my play, they’re my passion. Words are all we have, really. We have thoughts […]

Holy shit. Check out this matte black Nissan GT-R. I am in love. This is my favorite car and now my favorite color. On top of being simply gorgeous, this car also lapped the Nürburgring in 7:29.

the love guru and the PG-ization of NYC

OK, so Mike Myers‘ The Love Guru was nearly universally panned by every critic in the business. It bombed this weekend at the box office, bringing in only $13.9 million. The only semi-positive review I could find came from Peter Rainer at the Christian Science Monitor (how ironic). My favorite negative review came from Harry […]
