Lets face it, they chew your furniture & shoes, attract dirt like the are magnetized, eat anything and throw up what doesn't seem to get digested and hump the leg of the person who will be the most offended. But. We love them more than words can say.
If you're a college kid smoking a bong right now then this'll be right up your street, if you're sitting at home looking for some nice Christmas-type entertainment then it won't be. But if you do drugs or you don't do drugs you've got to admit that Nixon was a dick.
If you're on acid right now, then you may not want to watch this as you might not come out the other side completely sane. If you're on ketamine, then that's fine, you'll have an innate understanding about what's going on, in fact this will seem completely straight to you. For the rest of us---Weird.
Recently it was Hanukkah, a Jewish holiday that's known as the Festival of Lights, and Conan being such a generously spirited man he took it upon himself to celebrate this tradition by creating the Human Centipede Menorah, a Menorah is a traditionally a seven-branched lampstand. Or seven humans. Whatevs.
If nothing else this music video for Clean Bandit's "Telephone Banking" contains Sega Game Gears, remember them? They were Sega's first handheld console-thingy and even if they were totally shit, our nostalgia for them as being parts of our collective gaming childhoods is enough to get excited about.
Ladeeyzay and gentlesteppers, give it up for the dubstep kittenz and what a year it's been for them. Here they are keeping it fresh even when they're trying to eat, that's how dedicated to the dubstep cause they are. Even the simplest of activities require some dubstepping.
Time for the nerdlings of the world to cream in their replica Hobbit-pants, the wait is nearly over for The Lord Of The Rings prequel and it has Ian McKellen's Gandalf and all the beauty of New Zealand and you'll eventually be able to watch it and then the entire 8 hour trilogy in a kind of high fantasy epic orgy.
These skaters, they're always out on the streets of some city, flying down railings and ollying over small children looking like the coolest people in the world. But you never see them in your own city, do you? Makes you wonder, are they just computer-generated in After Effects? Hmm...
This video is so far ahead of the curve that it's arching back to hit us all in the ass. This isn't what next year's going to sound like but more like what the next millennium is going to sound like. And as for the video, well, the world might not be ready for something this awesome.
Pogoing gets extreme in this video, proving that it's not just a children's toy that causes lots of grazed knees and arguments over who's going to be next. It's a sport of gnarly dudes bouncing off walls and doing tricks that you wouldn't have even thought possible. Rad, yo.
Now why would this guy need butter? Some kind of lubricant perhaps? No doubt, which is why he's getting so upset that America and its comedians have been ripping the shit out of the fact that Norway is suffering a butter crisis. Don't laugh, send butter instead!
Harvey Nichols: Walk Of Shame (external)
It's that time of year again when you will spot these ladies in the cold morning light. Presumably after indulging in an ill-advised sexual escapade, the portly, messy wenches make their way home immersed in self pity and shame. Happy Xmas ladies.
You may love your widescreen TV and your beautiful house and all the other junk that clutters up your life, but what cost must you truly pay for all this capitalist hoarding? Psychologist Tim Kasser thinks the culture of consumerism undermines our well-being, so there.
Ice Cube in da house, breaking it down about the Eames, a husband and wife dream time of designers who gave some big style contributions to architecture and shit like that. So give it up big time for all they done for yo. Ice Cube tells it like it is. Wordage.
There's no greater thing you can do at Christmas time then pretend to your kids that you bought them absolute crap and all the stuff they wanted and you promised Santa would bring them, was just a lie. Then when they're crying and hating you, you can feel like a real good parent.
