Rebecca Black brought us the worst song in the world, so now we think it’s time that the museum take on the worst meme in the world: Svedka’s “werenotthemost popularvodkanowbutwewillbeonedaywhencreepyladyrobotsruletheworld.” This is literally the worst meme ever and therefore it is sort of the greatest meme ever via iwanttodrinksvedkaeverytimeiseetheseadssoidonthavetoliveinthisfuckedupworldsober.

So take a shot of vodka and peruse the exhibition: #ArtisDead #1vodkaof2033 #sweden #didntknowyourehusbandwasgay?blamesvedka

Thank you, buzzfeed, for coming up with this DIY 4Loko recipe.

Not only are you helping kids everywhere “get their crazy drank on” despite the imminent end of 4Loko, but you’re also encouraging an entire generation to get off their asses, go to the kitchen and actually brew something up from scratch.  Indolence absolved!

We just formulated a pretty stunning Four Loko homebrew recipe. We recorded a video to teach you how to make it at home. Check it out.

[Make Your Own Four Loko Homebrew]

Say goodbye to a good friend of yours, you New York kids out there… the Empire State is the next in a handful of others where 4Loko will no longer be on the shelves by the end of this year.  So stock up while you can…

First they came for the SPARKS, now the 4LOKO??  Remember freedom??  Oh welp.

The NY Times has some more:

On the streets and in the bodegas, some people say they enjoy the taste of Four Loko, a potent and fruity malt beverage high in alcohol content and caffeine that critics have called a “blackout in a can.”

It will not be on the shelves much longer. On Sunday, state officials announced that Phusion Projects, the Chicago company that makes Four Loko, had voluntarily agreed to halt shipments to New York State by Friday.

Gov. David A. Paterson and the State Liquor Authority said in a statement that distributors would have until Dec. 10 to clear their inventory of the product. Groceries, bodegas and candy stores would have a longer, unspecified grace period.

“This is going to protect our young people,” State Senator Jeffrey D. Klein said at a news conference outside the liquor authority’s offices in Harlem. “This is going to make sure our young people no longer have access to this dangerous product. But I don’t think our work is done.”

Mr. Klein has for months pressed for stricter regulations of caffeinated alcoholic beverages, which have been said to cause a “wide-awake drunk.”

Four Loko, which has an alcohol content of 12 percent and as much caffeine as a cup of coffee, came under scrutiny this fall after students who drank it at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Wash., and Ramapo College in New Jersey ended up in emergency rooms, some with high levels of alcohol poisoning.

Earlier this month, both Washington State and Michigan banned the sale of energy drinks that contain alcohol and caffeine.

Jaisen Freeman, a founder and the managing partner of Phusion Projects, said in a statement that the company was the first to voluntarily halt shipments.

“And we think it shows that we are not turning a deaf ear to what’s going on,” he said, “that a select few have chosen to abuse our products, drink them while under age or break the law and sell them to minors.”

Kirk Leslie, 28, a Harlem resident who happened to be passing the news conference where there was a display of Four Loko and other beverages, said that the alcoholic energy drink “tasted nice” and that “they got worse stuff out there.”

In some uptown bodegas, where Four Loko is often found between the beer and the juices, owners and clerks did not seem particularly concerned.

“It’s not that popular,” said Ali Basem, a 22-year-old clerk at a store on West 135th Street.

Mr. Basem added that that he had sold only about 100 cans in two months. He reinforced Senator Klein’s concerns when he said that he had a pretty good idea of who was attracted to the drink.

“The kids get wild when they ask for it,” he said. “When they drink too much of it, they start acting crazy.” Mr. Basem said many customers turned to Four Loko after liquor stores close.

Are you ready for the potential end of 4Loko??

Are you gonna let in fade into the oblivion of beverage heaven with Cocaine and Diet Coke with Lemon??  Or are you gonna stand up for your right to have instant blackouts and tell your Congressmen to calm the fuck down??

Or are you just gonna be a little pissed, do absolutely nothing about, and just plan a wild night with all your friends where you go 4Loko loco and deal with the consequences in the morning??

For some of you, this past weekend may have been just another plain old ordinary slipped by the wayside nothing eventful happened weekend.

But in some parts of the world (and by some parts, we mean one very special part), thousands of people were having what VH1 would probably like to call “THE BEST WEEKEND EVER”…

So were you having the BEST WKND EVERRR this past crazy ass weekend???

Were you ‘sloshing it up’ for the big bike race??  Were you going all out in your Hoosier pride to show the rest of this damn nation what being a hot drunk American is all about??  Were YOU at LITTLE 500???

(The Museum would like to provide some context for the Museum-visitor who might be unfamiliar with Little 500: “The Little 500 (a.k.a. Little 5) is an annual bicycle race held at Bill Armstrong Stadium on the campus of Indiana University. It has been running since 1951 and is one of the most definitive events of Indiana University and Bloomington.”)

“I’ve attended Super Bowls, World Series and the Monaco Grand Prix, but the coolest event I ever attended was the Little 500.” — Lance Armstrong, Tour de France Champion (actual quote)

So, did you have the best weekend frickin ever???

Did you get super wastey with your bff and look adorbz the night b4 the big race??

Did you “pre-game” and day-drink before the bike race with all your amazing IU sorority sisters??  Did you and the girls decide on what cute frat bros to invite/include in the celebrating??

Did you decide to just “take it easy” with some Natty Light in the rain far away from the glamorous Greek Life in-crowd, but still celebrating in your own unique spirit??

(p.s. I SPY A POLAR POP)

Did you and all your crazy friends get to catch Snoop Dogg performing live in the SAMMY/ZBT parking lot??  Did you get totally crunk-faced to the ‘ill’ sounds of “Gin and Juice” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot”??

Did you and your besties make “interpretive wall art” to illustrate how much you love your university??  Did you incorporate themes of college pride, Little 5 loyalty, and alcohol consumption into one radiant piece of Artwork??  (Art is Dead.)

Did you see/did you hang out with THIS KID??

Did you go totally luau themed to escape the mediocrity of the cream and crimson while shooting hard alcohol into your friends’ mouths via phallic-meets-Cold War-looking devices??

Was your ‘BEST WKND EVER’ kinda dampened because your favorite President didn’t make it out to the big race this time??  Miss you, desperation of the campaign trail/midwestern swing states.  Did you secretly take shots with Secret Service dudes that year??

Did you get super cozy and close with your favorite athletic star / bicyclist champion of the weekend??  Did you comfort and congratulate him as he dripped sweat and rain on to your lovely and pride-filled face??

Did your Little 5 weekend end with a silly, unpredicted rendezvous that ‘shouldn’t have happened’ but you were ‘super wasted’ and/or ‘high as balls’ and thus didn’t have much control of your actions??  Were you so drunk that you don’t even remember this happening??  Do you recall any of your best weekend ever or is it all one blacked-out blur??  Were you at least happy that you were snuggling in what appears to be a fairly comfy piece of Bloomington-boastful merchandise??

Hoping you were one of the special chosen ones who had the BEST WEEKEND EVER. Until next year, Indiana…

The dream has arrived. Vodka, in pill form.

(The following was written for Popfi by Ron Hogan)

“I really hate to indulge in stereotyping an entire country, but when I say the words “vodka in pill form” and ask you to think of a country that might be responsible for that invention, who do you think of? If you said Russia, then you’re right. A team of scientists at Saint Petersburg Technological University, led by Evgeny Moskalev, have invented a process that can turn vodka, beer, cognac, whiskey, or whatever your favorite adult libation might be into solid, dry booze pills.

The purpose of the pill is unknown [yeah right], but it will make the transportation of vodka and other spirits a whole lot easier, and it makes the addition of vodka to drinks easier, too.

No more shot glasses; just down a pill with a sip of water! Just add rum pills to your soda for an instant trip to the islands!

One of the hallmarks of a science-fiction future was that all food would be taken in pill form. We’re one step closer to that reality with vodka tablets, don’t you think? If they could somehow invent a combination Aspirin and hamburger pill, then you could cause and cure your hangovers with a medicine bottle!”

» In addition to the wonders that this article points out, may we add that this means the ULTIMATE DREAM of all TEENS/TWENTYSOMETHINGS in metropolises everywhere can finally be made a reality… SNORTING VODKA.

Can’t wait until this becomes a party standard.

*Coming soon: Art is Dead presents A collection of HIDEF Canon Rebel-taken pictures posted on Party Pixxx sites everywhere of hipsters snorting vodka.

Just throw in some alcoholic pill-snorting and BAM!, Art.
