Mattel's Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle & Coo Doll

What does it sound like this doll is saying to you?





Now, to me, and a whole butt load of other people- it sounds like this little creepy looking doll is saying "Islam is the light"



Tonight, I had the honor of hearing Frank Gaffney speak. He is the founder and president of the think tank Center for Security Policy, as well as a contributor, contributing editor, and columnist for a number of publications, including the Washington Times, National… Continue

Extreeeeeme! Guitar Bike (video)



Another awesome ad for Guitar Hero from Activision. So Extreme!

Dude, on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being not so extreme and 10 being extremely extreme, I give this a 9.0!

It's almost as extreme as this super extreme scene from Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.…

It's December, Do You Know What You're Buying Your Girl for Christmas? (video)

This ad must play like a horror movie for dudes.

Just in time for the Holidays, JCPenney has released its "Beware of the Doghouse" commercial. Although a little long, the beginning is pretty funny.

I happen to think extra RAM for the computer ("Thanks for the memories". HA!) is very romantic.



Agency: Saatchi & Saatchi, New… Continue

I like these large-scale oil paintings by Belfast born Eamon O’Kane. In his first New York solo exhibition, entitled The Architect’s House, Eamon's pieces explore his fascination with architecture and landscape. According to the artist, “Society traps us with our desires." For O’Kane, a home is not just a home, and green rolling hills are not just green rolling… Continue

Somalia's Modern Day Pirates

Back in the day I would only hear about pirates if I being read a story or visiting Disneyland. Now, it seems like pirates and their ransom stories are in the news everyday. According to TIME, this year, over 80 ships have been attacked by Somali pirates. They have, by one estimate, collected somewhere in the range $18 million to $30 million in ransom.



See the photos at… Continue

Are You Feeling Blue? Douglas Walker Paintings.

There is something so simply beautiful about Douglas Walker's paintings. It could be that he only paints using the colors blue and white or that his works evoke a memory of your parent's Chinese paintings hanging in your old house.



He tells us that he's inspired by so many things, "suspension bridges, landscapes by J.M. Turner, paintjobs on funnycars,… Continue

D'Oh!

Homer surfs the interweb

As you can tell by a lot of my posts, I have a thing for vinyl toys in fun human-like predicaments. This set by Andrew Lee just cracks me up. If anything it is inspiring me to start up my vinyl toy collection again and dust off my camera. And it shows me that people have some really creative imaginations out there! You can see Andrew's… Continue

Megan Fox with Fox in PAWprint Magazine





Megan Fox is one foxy lady. Sure, we always see her looking hot like this, wearing a hot dress at a movie premieres and whatnot.

 



and like this:

Just when you think that she's an one trick pony, she manages to keep things wild by posing for PAWprint Magazine's May 2008 issue, pawing around with quite a few animals - some belonging to her, some not. Some house trained, some not. The sly girl!…
