Practical and Disgusting Uses for the ‘Wearable Privacy Shell’

Check this arty fashion accessory/fashionable art object from Italian collective GAIA. The Veasyble series of Privacy Curtain Shells is comprised of minimal headgear and purse-like contraptions that unfold like accordions to cover your face, your eyes and your head ‘n’ torso. Conversely, it can create a tunnel of intimacy between the wearer and a partner, presumably, for face sucking. Nifty. But what else does it do? Read more »

NYPD’s Bootleg Arrest in Chinatown

Selling fake bags in Chinatown takes a lot of hustle. You’ve got to be brave to sell forgeries because the NYPD usually won’t be too kind to your business. Mulberry Street shop Fook On Sing Funeral Supplies was just busted by the cops for selling fake products. The only problem is that their fake bags aren’t sold to tourists from Atlanta, their fake bags are cardboard cutouts sold for burning at funeral ceremonies. Read more »

PETA Porn Coming Soon

At this point it’s hard to be shocked by anything that the people over at PETA have in the works to support their veganistic cause – like sexy time with veggies or getting Brooke Hogan naked  – but an XXX-rated porn site supported by the veg community, really?

Is Someone Trying to Silence Jeff Boss?

For the past few years, 9/11 conspirator and frequent political candidate Jeff Boss has been putting up his signature posters on 42nd Street between Sixth Avenue and Broadway. But less than 48 hours after we posted a video of him explaining what “really” happened on September 11th, that wall was buffed and “Post No Bills” was stenciled all over it. Had to be the NSA, right? (Photo: ANIMALNewYork)

Justin Bieber the Cartoon Dick: Daniel Edwards’ New Sculpture

Daniel Edwards, the NYC-based sculptor behind the dead Paris Hilton and doggie birthin’ Britney Spears has just released a new bronze vulgarity via New York’s Cory Allen Contemporary Art gallery. Unlike his last Bieber-themed meh-ness, Allegory of a Teen Sex Symbol (Justin Bieber) is just super… disgusting and great. Because Bieber is a Sylvester dick with Tweety Bird balls. Read more »

Steve Jobs Kinda Leaving Apple

The founder of the computer brand that most of you are probably reading this post on has retired, sort of. It’s true that he’s stepping down as CEO, but according to his pithy resignation letter, he still wants to be employed by Apple. Who doesn’t?

The Observer has an interview with the creator of the 9/11 Memorial: Past, Present and Future app. Finally a 9/11 product that isn’t just blatantly exploiting the tragedy of 9/11!

Naked Lady Gaga in Nobuyoshi Araki’s Rope Bondage Polaroids

These Polaroid outtakes from Lady Gaga’s Vogue Hommes Japan session with subversive photography legend Nobuyoshi Araki have recently surfaced, featuring the world’s biggest music celebrity, breasts out, hanging off ropes and rolling around. As much as I love to rip on this insufferable (f)artist copycat who makes terrible, terrible music, I haven’t gone “hmm” for the popstar-art-crossover since Takashi Murakami turned Britney Spears into a naughty anime school girl and this might be better.
