Abercrombie Meme = Free Advertising For Amazing Marketing

Ok - you are fat. You are ugly. You are not welcome at Abercrombie and Fitch. Well at least according to the following meme - which admittedly kinda twists dude's words... but.. The CEO was recently quoted as saying the following: I think this is downright genius. Let's look at the tactic: Step 1) Call out fat people for being fat and ugly and not worthy of wearing Abercrombie + Fitch clothing. Step 2) Get them to make your quote a viral sensation. [...]

Poor Yt’s Guide To Wine

I’ve got nothin to talk about so I’m gonna write about wine to meet my jtts deadline. It’s no secret I love me some red wine. JK-3PO and Treez can attest to this. I’ll probably be a red wine drinker from now until I die. In a way I see it kind of as a progression. As a yung yt male, most of us start by sippin a beer. Then as an adolescent / pre-teen, you try hard liquor. Vodka, Peppermint Schnapps, Sambuca…fill the bottle up with water so someone’s parents don’t know and spend the next morning puking, wanting to [...]

Get Ready for The Beastie Book

It's true: white people love coffee table books. There's nothing better than sipping your coffee from your coffee table lazily flipping through your coffee table book, which accomplishes the task of making you look really cool and smart for doing nothing better than staring at mostly big color photos and skimming some text you'll soon forget. It's hipster-ness defined. And what group could be better at bringing a wry smile to the face of the aging hipster at their coffee tables than this news: the surviving Beastie Boys (Ad-Rock and Mike D) have just signed a deal [...]

How The World Will Be Changed Forever: 3-D Printers

Amazing 3D Printer
My mind has officially been blown. I just had a moment of clarity that put our time and place in the universe in perspective. Sure, my mind was also blown when at 10 years old, I learned of a box I could place food in that would heat up my food through molecular polarization. Microwaves were cray. Equally mind blowing was when my rich Joo uncle picked me up in his Benz that had a telephone in it. Shit wasn't plugged into the wall! For only $12 a call, he could speak to anyone in a 2 [...]

Ford Recommends The Figo As A Quality Car For Rapists In India

As women continue to be gang raped in India, the country is facing an embarassing national crisis as the world watches. Enter Ford, who is promoting their "Figo" car in India. To display the roomy cargo space the Figo offers, they thought it would be a smashing idea to depict bound and gagged women in the trunk of a car, and splash that shit all over Indian billboards and magazines. Here's Paris Hilton driving with the Kardashians in the back. [...]

Consumerism Track of the Day: The Wedding Present – What Have I Said Now

Okay, so I'm starting off a new feature that will appear from time to time on our pages.  It's geared around two ideas that were spawned while exhausting myself catching as many bands as possible at SXSW: the idea of running a music web site and owning tons of music.  Sure, not all of you are inundated with tons of music like I am, but in this day and age, everyone has growing catalogues of singles and albums; it's part of living in a consumerist society.  I wanted to force myself to revisit my own history, musically, by randomly going [...]

Barbie Inc. Unveils African-American Barbie…And Boy, Is She A Cunt.

This is going to be the new African-American Barbie doll, representing what young black American girls should one day aspire to. A blonde weave, fake eyelashes and lenses, fake tits fully exposed adorned with gold chains, toting around not one, but two Louis Vuitton bags. Yes, young black queens, one day you too can be a high-maintenance, material-driven, fake ass cunt. Thank you evil Barbie enterprise. Not for nuthin...I'd hit.

Ghostface Killah Ironman "Premium Collection: Gold Edition" CD
Over the past week, there's been buzz building about the half-secret 20th anniversary Wu-Tang album: after Meth dropped a few hints during a performance in LA, Cappadonna confirmed things were coming together in a recent interview : “It’s all being done in the secret Wu-Tang Bat chamber. RZA has all the tracks lined up. There are recordings taking place in New York, L.A. and perhaps at the Wu mansion in New Jersey.” That's big [...]

Living With Less

GIZMODO - The Tiny Transforming Apartment That Packs Eight Rooms into 350 Square Feet
Graham Hill, the founder of Treehugger and owner of the tiny apartment above, reveals that he's happier than ever after shedding the weight of owning things : Intuitively, we know that the best stuff in life isn’t stuff at all, and that relationships, experiences and meaningful work are the staples of a happy life. I like material things as much as anyone. I studied product design in school. I’m into gadgets, clothing and all kinds of things. But my experiences show that after a certain point, material objects have [...]

GOAT AND RICE, PLEASE.

So this Dominican restaurant on my block, Delicias, is my favorite spot to hit up for a good $6 plate of rice, chicken, platanos, and beans. Great food, great value. The way shit was set up, the food was in trays behind the counter, so even though most of the staff doesn't speak a lick of Ingles, you could be an American fgt like me  and point your way through an order. Whenever I go in and no peeka Panish, they look at me in pure disgust, because [...]

DETROIT RUBBER – EPISODE 1

Detroit Rubber Ep. 1 of 6 - Prince Fielder's $10k Jordans???
So Eminem exec-produced an internet reality series called Detroit Rubber. It chronicles the wacky every day antics of employees at the Burn Rubber sneaker spot in Tha D. In this episode, Prince Fielder walks into the store and needs a pair of "Encore IV's"...apparently akin to asking for Unicorn Sperm served in a diamond chalice. To thicken the plot, Prince is leaving for the World Series in a few hours, and the fellas have to come up with the impossible. Eminem saves the day in the end, and just like that, a [...]

NIKE HONORS BLACK HISTORY MONTH BY CHARGING BLACK KIDS $200 FOR A BLACK HISTORY SNEAKER

Stop the ride...I want to get off. America's capitalism is a fucking force. Nike dropped their "Black History Month" kicks today. Prices range from $130-$200. The sneakers all share a "Black History Month" print. Did I miss something? Did Sojourner Truth and Crispus Attucks release a memo at some point announcing Black mankind choosing grey, black, and orange as an official color scheme? Even more ridiculous is the notion of 100 preteen Chinese kids chained to radiators, receiving $4 per day to churn out Black History Month sneakers retailing for $200. [...]

THE HOTTEST NEW COMMERCIALIZATION OF PRISON CULTURE: “SHANK ART”

I thoroughly respect a nigga that can draw well, or sculpt some dope shit up real quick...but let's be real...a lot of these so called artists out here are just pullin shit out they ass, and cakin! My landlady has a "work space" in the back yard...it's basically an old ass garage with a bunch of metal and power tools in it. She toils in there for hours...pensively smoking her yellow pack of American Spirit cigarettes while she welds a fuckin bike chain to a copper pipe in the name of [...]
