Deadspin asks: How hard can it be to draw a tiger?

Starting from this tweet by mikewithbats, the website explores other terrible examples of the Detroit Tigers logo which were OFFICIALLY LICENSED BY THE TEAM:

Additionally, curious about that "free" and assume there are some sexual favors involved, or something. Nothing's ever free, my dad taught me, especially not "free" free stuff.

Hmm...

A friend sent me this photo via Facebook. I don't know who the designer is.

prom season = cavities

I read this morning about a girl whose mother took six years to weave her a prom dress out of Starburst wrappers - and also provided her date with a matching vest:

Turns out she is not the first to wear a "Juicy Contradiction" to prom:

Of course I was having none of it at my prom. My dress was more tasteful (get it? Starburst... more tasteful... never mind).

pasties... in YOUR size



Before you click on this link for explanation of the above, and look at any of the photos related to this delightful Etsy item, I must warn you: they are a little cringeworthy. Also probably NSFW.

shit just got real


Artist Leah Piepgras has created a lovely necklace that is "actually an accurate representation of semen." It is called the Pearl Necklace, of course.

let me just check my coin purse


RP/Encore features a number of "bold accessories" in its Vermin line, such as the Rat Bowtie and the Pigeon Wing Necklace and, of course, the Large White Rat Coin Purse (which still has its own coin purse) shown above. Their disclaimer states that all the animals used for this line were "the victims of road kill, pest control or natural death" except in some cases (due to high demand, I suppose, like around Christmas) they'll use "feeder rats".

Selleck Waterfall Sandwich


A friend emailed me yesterday with this tumblr theme. All the photos involve Tom Selleck, a waterfall, and a sandwich. He said that it started with his co-worker sharing vacation photos around the office of a falcon eating a pigeon outside her hotel window in Chicago. Somehow the conversation morphed into Tom Selleck eating a sandwich under a waterfall, and then they all felt the need to Photoshop said situation and upload the results to tumblr. It was Friday. Obviously.

Edit: Oh yeah, and there's even a theme song.

you drive what?


You Drive What? is a wonderful collection of odd, stupid and/or confusing vehicle decorations. For some reason this homage to Pepto Bismol/Next Friday strikes my fancy. Many more where that came from.

Voyeurism as Art

Photographer Yasmine Chatila has a show on currently called "Stolen Moments" -- photos she took through people's windows here in New York. In some cases, as with the kitchen lovers below, she took a whole series and made a slide show out of it.




I don't put the blinds down in my living room, so I guess it's my fault if someone is surreptitiously taking photos of me. But I still find this show totally creepy, it seems to break an unwritten code (if not a law). Thoughts?
