Polar Bears Paralyze Poland Spring??


Various new campaigns have recently popped up, by way of culturejammers and other concerned individuals, urging consumers to be more mindful of their consumption habits. Specifically, a new one entitled "Polar Tears" that takes a well deserved jab at the bottled water industry, through a heart wrenching expose (by way of poster), depicting a sobbing polar bear atop a decrepit ice cap, which (not so) ironically is melting into a plastic bottle. The apropos phrases "98 percent melted ice caps" and "2 percent polar bear tears" flank each side of the image. They say emotion is the best way to foster a reaction and I must admit that pulling at the heart strings always works for me - so in an attempt to spread the word about eco-friendly water consumption and help the polar bear - I am printing out the poster and passing it along to spread the word. And, this is no Al Gore "save the polar bears BS either" - thus, I take it seriously and I suggest that you do the same. Buy a reusable water bottle, and stop purchasing the plastic - For the polar bears.....

HOLY AWESOMENESS

It's about time someone did 80's synth pop some justice - right when i was teetering on the edge of ad-nauseam, convinced that the next few years of electro were slave to tragic mash-ups and formulaic remixes - i saw the light, and it's name was Holy Ghost!
"I Will Come Back" is a super sexual track that evokes the most dancerific grooves, and the video truly does justice to what this whole 80's resurgence should be about.
I highly recommend listening to this track on heavy, heavy rotation and prepare to get d-floor nasty.

Laugh Till You Cry





































 I'm not one of those celebrity blog enthusiasts - I have never really cared what Lindsay Lohan or her psychotic "I want to be 21 again" mother are doing and what drugs they are snorting. Brit-Brit used to garner some interest I suppose, just because her antics were so wacky and tasteless, you can't avoid looking - kind of like a six-hundred pound man in a neon orange thong.
I want to see more six hundred pound men in chartreuse thongs and seemingly "normal" girls and boys who are really fucking bizarre. The non-celebrity who should have some status just for taking the cultural fashion risks that they do - because these people are legitimately trying to look cool. It's an earnest effort to do something different, and more times than not, this doing something different ends up in kid idiot looking like a fucking jack-ass - but that's the beauty of it.
FINALLY, someone has began to document the truly heinous atrocities of human existence - that make living on this planet worthwhile.
These are the druggies, drunks, fat-asses, fags, hipsters, bitches, japs, normals, etc. that make you want to quit your shitty nine to five and jump on the weirdo wagon with them. And please, don't forget to read the captions.
