Is it Sad? Is it Heart-warming? Is it...
CNN News, the most trusted name in last-place-in-terms-of-tv-rank news, brings us this eulogy of Ivy Bean, the world’s allegedly oldest Twitter user/oldest Twitter celebrity (holy crap, is that a thing??), who died earlier today.

Why The Hell Would You Advertise That About...
…so are they trying to say that they’re proud of that?
And who are they to say that the best pickpockets are there? Has there been a study or something of where the world’s best pickpockets are? (This is from Vancouver, by the way)
Do you think that Vancouver really holds the record for “World’s Best Pickpockets”? IS THAT A THING??
Stay alert, people.

The Good Stuff... Pass it On. (aka, Middle America...
So we’ve all been driving along the highway at one point or another in our postmodern automobile-bound lives and have come across those “Public Service Announcement” billboards that encourage you to have good values, and then “Pass it on.”
Sometimes they make you think, like “hey man, if I just had better values and really followed my dreams and didn’t do...
Spencer Pratt Declares, "I'm An Artist Now"
We here at the Artifacts of Modernity Museum hoped that it would never come to this… we always hoped that despite our re-occuring ‘Art is Dead’ gimmick that maybe Art would actually bounce back, maybe ke-dollarsign-ha would be sent to prison by the FCC, maybe the French government would buy out deviantart and automatically disqualify any meaningless purposeless submissions…...

Smell Like the Douchebag You Always Dreamed of...
Looking to be the best man you can be? Looking for that ‘edge’? That special something to impress the ladies?
Trying to get that one special sorority girl to come home with you from the bar and unintentionally wake up in your arms the next morning??
Then look no further than the cologne that will change your life…
“In order to be greatness, you have to smell like...

Harvard's 15 Hottest Freshman...No, Really.
The following came to my attention via a friend who is studying at an ivy league institution spyvy-league institution (in the same athletic conference as the cyber league) He wanted to know, “Is this a fucking joke. No seriously, is it?.”

Published: July 2, 2010
An explosion of smart-phone software has placed an arsenal of trivia at the fingertips of every corner-bar debater, with talking points on sports, politics and how to kill a zombie. Now it is taking on the least trivial topic of all: God.

Love to see that Wall Street is applauding Urban Outfitters Inc. LLC for being such a hot commodity in the NASDAQ.
Looks like American Apparel could learn a thing or two, as indie bloggers everywhere such as msnbc have declared that AmApp is in some serious financial trouble. Good thing I sold all my stock in Circle Scarves back in 2009.
I’m definitely sticking with URBN for a...

According to the British social-network statistics site FameCount.com, Gaga is on the verge of becoming the first living person to roll up 10 million...
