eBay sent me a promotional message boasting that it has “Fabulous Finds for Every Shopper!” What I find most fabulous, though, is the graphic and suggested product list for “hipsters.”
I could get sidelined ridiculing the suggestions (Abercrombie? Are you shitting me?), but I’d rather focus on the whole premise.
One of the great ironies […]
Up there with the U2 iPod is Live Aid. I’m sure they mean well, but nothing says “weird sense of ethics” like a group of supremely wealthy folks who probably have armed guards and/or live in gated communities trying to help the extremely poor by singing in harmony to a backdrop of music so engineered […]
The average man on the street romantic would have you believe that there’s someone for everyone. The average man on the street fetishist would have you believe that everyone is wanted by someone. That second prospect seems a bit more believable.
And, there’s a t-shirt celebrating all that kinky potential from Non-Zero Chance. I really like […]
Although Robert A. Moog saw himself as an engineer, and not a musician, those who saw the documentary about the man might question this assertion. Moog, who invented the Moog Synthesizer, had what seemed to be a downright spiritual connection with his machines.
Sadly, Moog has died, leaving a musical legacy that continues to grow. […]
Bret Easton Ellis has a new novel out. Lunar Park tells the story of the fictional character Bret Easton Ellis, and apparently features interludes with such characters as Patrick Bateman.
The fictional Bret Easton Ellis is married and lives in the suburbs. And, while the real Bret Easton Ellis sounds more interesting to me, apparently […]
A new ad for luxury vehicle Jaguar features Aqueduct’s “Hardcore Days and Softcore Nights.” The spot is exceptionally unexceptional, featuring regulation-grade footage of the car’s luxe curves while the music plays in the background.
Even as music in advertisements gets a bit more interesting, the ads themselves seem increasingly standardized — we just went from […]

Cameron Diaz blames tendency of older men’s testicles to droop on divine intervention:
“…you know how girls, as you get older, your boobs sag? Well, as men get older, their balls hang lower. It’s called SBH: Senior Ball Hang. I think that’s God’s way of making sure guys get to feel insecure too.”
I mean, really people, […]
Feel Good Home, a line by Milk Design out of Hong Kong, includes a variety of clever hooks and holders, intended for use in organizing toiletries. The whimsical designs come in black and white, backed with suction cups for easy application to tiles, mirrors and other smooth surfaces. They are available here in Austin at […]
I keep hearing how Birkenstocks have gotten more attractive, but if the 2005 Birkenstock Styled by Heidi Klum Collection is any indication, they’ve actually just gotten garish. These shoes look like what would happen if boho-chic collided with cruisewear.
Then again, Heidi Klum was a McDonald’s spokesperson, so we probably should have known better than to […]
Yet another reason to love nerds: Someone made a Sims video of R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet.” Granted, the characters don’t quite have the range of facial expressions that such an epic demands, and nobody gets naked, but it’s fun. (The video is in five acts, much like a Shakespearean drama: Part 1, Part […]
