I just, Don’t Know What to Say About This

Here’s a precious/disturbing/baffling video of a little butterball singing all of Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance a capella. The existence of this video either portends great or horrid things for today’s youths. You be the judge.

For Some Amount of Money You Can Own This:

A very large oil painting of the late King of Pop. It’s being auctioned off very soon. I don’t know about you, but I could see facsimiles of this painting becoming the new velvet Elvis. I know I’d buy one.

Dear Tom, Why is Your Message So Good and Your Shoes So Shitty?

TOMS Shoes is an incredibly munificent operation as far as companies go. For every pair of shoes they sell, an additional pair gets donated to a child in need somewhere around the world.

Beware: Fresh Direct Vending Machines = Resident Salt Fest

And People Say We’re Culturally Bankrupt

Everyone should read this interview, it’s spectacular. It’s Heidi Montag (good for you if you don’t know who that is) talking about how important and amazing her forthcoming shit sandwich of a “Pop” album is.

EW: Do you think Superficial holds up against something like Thriller?

HM: I definitely do. [...]

Hooded Zip-up Sweatshirt Battle: Carhartt v. American Apparel; One has style and quality, the other, um, style, maybe?

Since I moved to New York City 4 years ago, American Apparel has changed from a fringe brand, helmed by a nerdy pederast, with 1 retail location in NYC, to a worldwide juggernaut that sold out for some $300 Million and is now owned by a textile conglomerate. And while American Apparel’s shoddy, grossly overpriced [...]

Better Than Chuck Taylors

Now here’s a Chinese knock-off  I can really vouch for:

How Many Cut-off Cocktail Weeners Does It Take To Get A Stroller Recalled?

I can’t believe 12 poor little babies had to lose a fleshy nubbin before stroller manufacturer Maclaren decided they had better issue a recall. Apparently some of the Maclaren stroller models have hinges that can amputate digits with Reign of Terror swiftness. Read the story snippet from CNN.com below.
