Atom.com: Funny Videos | Funny Cartoons | Comedy Central

I saw this on Comedy Central the other day. I don’t know if it has the same impact on the web as it does on TV. It is pretty obvious what is going to happen. But I guess since it was on TV I was like “are they gonna show it? Are the gonna show it?”

It is a pretty tight video too. And the guy who made it, Travis Betz, did everything from the props to the music. Makes for a great video to send to your boss.

I Don’t Wear Hats

June 17th, 2008

But if I did, I would wear this one.

The Nike 112 Pack is said to release soon (early July), and DJ Clark Kent has designed a New Era 59FIFTY lid to go along with the kicks. The hat has neon green embroidery for the Brooklyn “B” and the 112_ _  on the back.  It features 3M reflective material on the brim and the back panel. And under the brim is some elephant print for good measure. The first place you will be able to get it is most likely at Vinnie’s Styles on Flabush ave. in Brooklyn.

How We Fucked Our Planet

The World Without Us + Cradle to Cradle

The latest books I’ve fed my brain. For some reason I am on this earth-centric kick with my reading. I highly recommend both of these volumes.

The Freakiest Most Fucked Up “Wake-Up Call” Commercial Ever.

June 2nd, 2008

Thank you Folgers. I don’t even think drinking Folgers is the best way to wake you up in the morning anymore. Just watch this freak circus of a commercial when you roll out of bed, and I guarantee that you’ll be wide awake.

Banksy Sprays Brooklyn

May 13th, 2008

banksy

…or does he?

I walked by what looks like another Banksy stencil that got put up in my hood recently (Roebling St. Williamsburg Brooklyn). I’ve seen a couple of Banksy-esque looking pieces around lately (there was a soccer player on driggs a couple months ago, and a narrow piece on N6th) but I was never sold that they were really put up by Banksy. Turns out that this latest piece was done by an artist named Nick Walker. His work is very close (in content and style) to what Banksy does.

Could be the reason Banksy is so big. So many people have a similar style, and want to be anonymous… it would be easy for most people to just attribute the work to the only big name they know: Banksy.

Carbon Copies

May 11th, 2008

   Pencils made from the carbon of human cremains. 240 pencils can be made from an average body of ash - a lifetime supply of pencils for those left behind.   Each pencil is foil stamped with the name of the person. Only one pencil can be removed at a time, it is then sharpened back into the box causing the sharpenings to occupy the space of the used pencils. Over time the pencil box fills with sharpenings - a new ash, transforming it into an urn. The window acts as a timeline, showing you the amount of pencils left as time goes by.  I love it!  I have a goth-tooth, what can I say.

Thai Food

May 11th, 2008

 Why don’t individual Thai restaurants just make an executive decision and sell only pad thai?  Any time I get Thai food, if I ever order anything besides pad thai, it’s only because I’m “experimenting.”On occasions where I find myself eating Thai food, the evening following the meal tends to involve being in a public setting around people who are interested in social activities.  The last thing you need at a time like that is to have to run to the bathroom and make dirty turdies and feel uncomfortable the entire time.Well I’m going to set the record straight.There’s no need to experiment when it comes to meal time.  I don’t need a stomach ache, and I certainly don’t need a burning asshole.
