Honestly, I don't see how this picture can prove anything.

Hypebeast about D*Face's aPOPcalypse Now Exhibiton: "The show’s focus on pop culture led to several pieces referencing topics such as superheroes from both the world of DC Comics and Marvel as well as popular pieces in our current cultural landscape."

Watch The Show. It's user generated content, it's fresh, it's wild, it's all the bullshit bingo in the world...

What I really like is the guy's special "my dvd collection" series. Here's the latest episode:

Dude, you're cool.

Oh, yes, more people talking about their dvd collections on YouTube....

Dude, they stole your idea!

The Cowboy Killers are from New York, but they're currently stranded in big, bad Berlin. I have seen these fine young men many times this year and killers they are indeed. They get any place and any age dancing in three minutes. If they play live around the corner, go and see him. And if they don't, go and book them for your parties and venues. Meet them on MySpace over here!

You can buy their cd almost exclusively at a joint called "The Room" on Graefestr. 77 in Berlin-Kreuzberg where they also play for a beer and burger every once in a while. Support these guys and get them as a support, all you big boys playing the big places ! They're really phantastic!

Irish Independent: O'Leary: 'Take them out and shoot them'

RYANAIR chief executive Michael O'Leary has vowed to sack the board of Aer Lingus should his €748m bid to buy the former State airline be successful. (...) Mr O'Leary refers to them as "Bertie's pals, political appointees or trade union representatives" who know nothing about running an airline.

Rounding off his damning assessment of Aer Lingus's directors, the Ryanair chief, in typically cavalier fashion, calls for the various board members -- with a few notable exceptions -- to be "taken out and shot" describing them as "useless".

I really loved the comic and that show and it's unique simple style. The animated series is out on YouTube now. Not the best quality, but it's not out on dvd and the VHS tape is sort of rare.

Wikipedia: "The Maxx is an American comic book and character created by Sam Kieth and published by Image Comics. The comic book spawned an animated series that aired on the MTV network.

The series follows the adventures of the titular hero in the real world and in an alternate reality, referred to as The Outback. In the real world the Maxx is a vagrant while in the Outback he is the protector of the Jungle Queen. The Jungle Queen is similar to the Maxx in that she also exists in the real world as Julie Winters, a freelance social worker who often bails the Maxx out of jail. While the Maxx is aware of the Outback, Julie is not, though it is integral to the story of both the Maxx and Julie."

Sam Kieth's website seems to be dead.

Wikipedia"The cartoon takes place on a farm, beginning with numerous animals being shown. After a brief few moments, two ducks (who are expecting a duckling) go over to their egg after it starts to hatch; once the egg has hatched, a baby duck with a Hitler moustache emerges and yells "Sieg Heil!" while giving the Nazi salute. After time passes the baby duck grows into adulthood, holding aggressive speeches toward other ducks and geese; one goose who was listening agrees with him and gives the nazi salute. The goose, representing Benito Mussolini, then delivers a speech to the only listener: a baby chicken who had been forced to stay and applaudes. (...) The complete version was made available on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6 on October 21, 2008."

Harry Knowles has published his "just in case" letter: " in 2003 - Forry sent me a letter contemplating his own impending death that he had asked me to pass on in case he passed away. This is his personal statement and closing thoughts on life that he wished for me to share. Things he wanted to set straight according to his personal beliefs and philosophies. It is especially hard to read today..."

"You think you're cool because you buy a $500 phone with a picture of a fruit on it. Well guess what? They cost 8 bucks to make and I pee on every one!" shouts Steve Mobs with the Bart Simpson voiceover.

That was definetely one of the best episodes ever. You should like soooo check it out. Lisa gets a Mypod, Bart gets a muslim friend and Homer gets into a lot of trouble. The parody of Steve Jobs was solid comedy gold.

This video is very disturbing. People wearing "Snuggies" scare me. They're like members of some crazy cult.

Former run-down pub in Liverpool has seen its market value soar after being targeted by 'Banksy' Photo: WENN

Telegraph: "The derelict building has been adorned with a giant rat, while the outer walls of the pub have been scrawled in red lipstick.

Banksy has used images of vermin throughout his politically-motivated work, and this particular piece of 'guerilla' artwork has attracted the attention of collectors.

The Whitehouse pub was originally estimated by local estate agents to be worth some £495,000, but its value has now doubled to around £1 million, as art dealers scurry to get their hands on it.

Liverpool estate agents Sutton Kersh, who are overseeing the sale, have reportedly been inundated with offers from excited buyers looking for safe investment.

Earlier this year, the artist's works defied the credit crisis with a sale fetching more than £350,000 at auction.

Despite his popularity, Banksy has zealously guarded his anonymity which has fuelled speculation about his anonymity which has fuelled speculation about his real identity."

Tagesschau: Wer hier, im Norden Englands, künftig am Wochenende volltrunken aus einem Pub oder Club torkelt und nach einer handfesten Schlägerei Ausschau hält, muss nicht mehr mit dem Gummiknüppel oder umgedrehten Armen rechnen. Vielmehr wird ihm ein freundlicher Polizist ein Fläschchen mit Seifenblasen-Tinktur überreichen. Dahinter steht die Hoffnung, dass der eben noch Gewaltbereite sofort von seinem verwerflichen Tun ablässt, auch nicht dem Polizisten mit der Flasche auf die Mütze haut, sondern umgehend von kindlichem Spieltrieb gepackt wird. Elaine Sherrington von der örtlichen Verwaltung jedenfalls ist davon überzeugt, dass die "Nachtschwärmer" auf diese Art "etwas Spaß" haben, "auf den sie sich konzentrieren können".

I saw some of the short films by contemporary artists on this dvd. Impressive stuff. From the info: "Amongst other artists that have created exclusive works for 46664 - 1 Minute of Art to Aids are Bill Viola, Sam Taylor Wood, Alfredo Jaar, William Kentridge, Keith Haring, Pipilotti Rist and Matthew Barney"

Amazon: "Named after the number worn during his 18-year imprisonment by Nelson Mandela, the former president of South Africa and the inspiration for this global initiative, 46664 was created to draw attention to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa. The main event, organized by Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen and Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, was a November 2003 concert in Cape Town, and it's quite a show, preserved here by more than four hours of performance footage spread out over two discs."

Unfortunately the website is broken. Mister Bono, get your mechanic NOW!
