Why do they still have this award show? Oh right, because nothing validates great music quite like the Grammys. We forgot. That’s why Katy Perry’s “Firework” is nominated for ‘Record of the Year’ and why Bon Iver is apparently a “New Artist” now, not like “Skinny Love” was a huge thing back in 2008 or anything. |
Ladies and gentlemen, Visitors of the Artifacts of Modernity Online Museum,
We proudly present to you a day we weren’t sure if we’d ever see in our lifetime, a day where a clear distinction has been made unlike any other, a day where we officially recognize that one man has beaten the odds to become the “Worlds Greatest Partier”.
Congratulations, Andrew W.K., we applaud and salute you.
Sorry, J. Scully… Maybe next lifetime.

In case Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards couldn’t get any sillier and more fun to make fun of, they just did: President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have just been nominated for the “Cutest Couple Award” at the 2010 Kids Choice Awards.
The competition, however, is pretty intense. They’re pitted up against “Edward and Bella” from Twilight New Moon. And in case that wasn’t steep enough, they’re also running against “Jacob and Bella” from Twilight New Moon. And the fourth nominee? “Neytiri and Jake” from Avatar.
Can’t wait to see if Obama and Lady GaGa interact backstage or on the “orange carpet” as they await their possible orange blimps.
I wonder if Barack and Miley are on good terms or are sorta frenemies… hopefully she’ll keep her cool for the “big night”.
Move over Zaknessa, Barchelle is now in town. (Is that what we’re calling the Prez & wifey these days?)
P.S. If Barack and Michelle win, they better get slimed.
The above photo could be the Commander in Chief.
Artifacts of Modernity is a internet based "museum" specializing in the preservation of contemporary artifacts deemed worthy of entrance into Western Civilization’s ever evolving canon.
One part virtual time capsule, one part white walls echoing with the sweet siren song of irony, Artifacts of Modernity is the first museum of its kind. Entrance is free, permanent exhibits down the hall and to the right, bathrooms on your left.
Enjoy.

We work hard to bring you an entirely free Museum (or as an innate fee in your internet bill, if you want to think about it like that), but we can't keep it up without money to pay for this URL every year and to buy ourselves lunch while on the job. So please,
donate.
Yes, you! No longer feel like a mere puppet in the postmodern-post-Irony-ridden culture of today. Contribute your thoughts and findings of modern culture to Art of Mod!
