Where the Streets have Sexual Names
prosignt.jpg


These cities, streets, counties and places really exist.

And people live there.

Mostly, for our amusement.

Hey Stupid, How About A Vodka Eye Shot?
vodka_eye_shot.jpg


Shots of vodka in the eye. This is what the young drinkers are doing for fun these days.

Thankfully, they're also posting these videos so we can all share in their stupidity. I've posted a handful of them for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks kids!
On a related note, my eye doctor is thrilled.

Tissue Box Art

These are no ordinary tissues box covers.

Someone actually put some thought into how you will grab a Kleenex.

Taking T-shirts Literally
Picture-4.jpg

What if those cute, ironic, funny, meaningful, off-beat sayings we wear, were taken literally?

Hmm...

Take a break from all this death talk and get literal.

Cultural References That Have Lost Favor
titls3gsa.jpg

Overtime certain colorful words for men and women have fallen out of favor.

Yesterday's "Dude!," is today's "Bro."

Today's "Ho," was once a 15th-century "Wench."

And that's just the beginning.

Inappropriate places to look at porn
senatorMike.jpg

(Or, if you prefer, perfect places to look at porn.)

The other day Florida State Senator Mike Bennett was caught looking a nudie picture a staffer sent him. And Senator Bennett was doing it while the Senate was in session.

Obviously, this is not the right time or place to be looking at explicit images.

Senate chambers aren't the only place people are looking at NSFW stuff. Now that our mobile phones and WiFi enabled areas allow us to go online almost anywhere, the list of inappropriate places to look at porn is growing.

Know where else isn't the best place to be looking at porn? Check out this list.

You know, for future reference.

Metrocard Art
swimmer.jpg

The Metrocard has been letting New Yorker slide in and out of subway stations for close to 16 years.
Pretty much as long as I've been a resident of this great city.

When it first debuted, I remember lots of advertisers and local tourist stops using the backs of the cards for messages and promotions. But, others have used this little 3x2 card as a canvas for paintings and silk screens. Or, used discarded cards to make origami-like objects.

It's better than chucking them on the ground (which most people do.)

Here, take a look.

The next evolutions of the human body
evolution_of_man.jpg

Throughout our thousands of years on Earth, humans have continually evolved. Our bodies, minds and features are quite different than our ancient ancestors.

Sometimes this change takes centuries. Sometimes, just a few decades.

So what will the next human evolutions be?

What will change about our bodies in order to meet the challenges of the future?
Assuming there is one.

I have no scientific basis for these 5 ideas. They're just my observation and uneducated guess.

So, if you don't believe that we were created, as is, by some omnipotent being, you might find this interesting...

Stop. It's not just a sign.
flower.jpg Stop Signs.

You pass dozens of them everyday. And most times you probably stop.

But the Stop sign is not just any sign.

It's window in to pop culture. And a chance to have little fun.

Michael Jackson impersonator taking it too far
michJa.jpg


For 22 year old Michael Jackson impersonator Ricardo West, it wasn't enough to just look, dress, dance and sing like the King of Pop. He had to go and really try to act like Mike.

See West has been charged with trying to molest an 11-year-old boy.

Local prosecutors have charged him with "multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct, using a computer to commit a crime and accosting children for immoral purposes."

Touching boys, just like Jackson. Appalling.

And if the charges are true, I hope Ricardo doesn't beat it. You can't touch kids and get away with it.

Except if you're a Catholic Priest.

Wet Paint: A Subway Word Play

The Wet Paint sign.

It's only 8 letters. But it inspires a lot of underground word games and anagrams all over NYC Subway platforms.

Straphangers, enjoy.

No Regets

I honestly have no regets, either. Ya know, the fact that this is on her back may have been the only thing that saved the tattoo artist from grievous bodily harm. (via For Your Entertainment)

The Leaning A-holes of Pisa
aholes-in-reverse.jpg


Have you heard the news? There's a tower in Pisa, Italy that's leaning.

Leaning!

It's not going to collapse or anything, it's just tilting.

They call this architectural error, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. And you wouldn't believe the number of a-holes who visit the tower every year in order to take a creative picture and make a special "leaning themed" photo.

Here's a sample of this boundless creativity.


NOTE: The poses don't change much, only the assholes in them do.

Get Sketchy
sketchy_ybnby.jpg
Just as my Pre-K teacher told me back in 1984 after I turned in a macaroni collage symbolizing man's struggle against authority... I'm no artist. But I enjoy feeling like one, which is why I'm currently wearing a beret. And if you get the urge to be an artist without losing an ear, I suggest you check out the newly updated "Harmony" by Mr. Doob.

404 Error

Whoops! We're not sure if it was your fault or ours (probably yours, we're good that way) but you've encountered a FATAL ERROR!!! Or at least, a pretty grumpy one.

Specifically the Latvians who run our server are telling us in a weird accent "Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 6]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580), Comrade!". Ain't life a bitch.

If you want to vent, email our slacker of a webmaster. Otherwise, we'd suggest going back, using search, or clicking around aimlessly on this page like a moron.

Have fun.
