Here is the Kanye West/Spike Jonze Collaboration the World’s Been Waiting For

Well lookie here…the short film that’s been much-anticipated by artsy, film-geeky, hip-hopy type people, “We Were Once a Fairytale,” has hit the internet. Directed by Spike Jonze and starring Kanye West, the film, which was supposed to be released on iTunes last month, depicts an arrogant prick whose night out on the town ends in a rather bizarre way (Sounds very Kanye-esque, does’t it?). I don’t want to give away the ending for you, so you’ll just have to click through and watch the dang thing if you want to learn just what that “bizarre” ending is. Read more »

Unemployed Man Joins Army to Get Health Insurance for Cancer-Stricken Wife

Well here’s something for people fond of governmental conspiracy theories to chew on…perhaps dark powerful forces intentionally ran the American economy into the ditch, while simultaneously escalating the costs of health care in order to get more people to enroll in the military, where they’d receive a steady salary and health benefits. Sure, this is patently absurd, but I don’t doubt for a second that some people will latch on to this theory after learning about Bill Caudle’s tragic tale. Read more »

Pageant People Demand Compensation for Carrie Prejean’s Massive, Heaving Breasts

Well here’s a little news item that confirms something we’ve all pretty much already known: pageants are all about the hulking, mammoth titties baby! OH YEAH! Why else would the shameless flesh peddlers who run the Miss California pageant pay $5,200, which they’re now demanding repayment of, for Carrie Prejean to go out and get the ole SoCal double stack? Couldn’t that money have been better spent by hiring a tutor to try to beat the staggering stupidity out of her? |Daily News|

Common Sense Ads Cause Controversy

It was controversial when the Muslims did it, so it’s not all that surprising that the latest atheist ad campaign to bless the city with some much needed revenue would also raise some eyebrows. The ad poses a simple enough question, although the math might be off: “A Million New Yorkers Are Good Without God. Are You?” Only a million?

New Era Releases Night Vision Hat

Finding new ways to separate streetwear enthusiasts from their money, New Era has released a LED light that attaches to flat-brimmed hats. Hypebeast astutely observes that the hat company didn’t actually invent the light bulb, “the technology has already been discovered to a certain degree,” but incorrectly claims New Era refined it. Actually the master milliners just branded a piece of cheap plastic, the kind of product that will probably wind up killing baby birds. |Hypebeast|
