There's something a bit queer about these new U.S. Army recruitment ads...

For those of you who live in the US (i.e. the ones who matter), you are probably familiar with the recent craze of slapping yellow "support our troops" ribbons on cars and other places. It's nice, but it seems a bit somber. Where's the fun, the joy, the triumph of being an American soldier? They travel the world, bringing freedom and democracy to wherever they go. I can do better, and I did:

One wasn't enough, so now we have two brass knuckles + handbag combos! A month ago, I showcased the PeaceKeeper handbag, now I bring you its high fashion cousin:
It's called Punchbag, and it can be purchased from Freedom of Creation, the company that designed it. At 550 euro or about 675 dollars, it does cost a lot more than the Peacekeeper. On the other hand, Punchbag looks better and can be more readily used as a weapon—simply flip the bag portion away.
Just one more bag like this, and I can declare brass knuckles handles an official handbag trend. |

This lovely picture is brought to you by Mirko Ilić, who designed it as the cover for a Massachusetts guide to gay marriage. It's a bold, confrontational statement that shows America embracing Justice by rejecting the land's Puritan baggage. The drawing belongs on many more places than just pamphlet covers. |

This ad managed to give coochie wipes a visceral, edgy, stylish and cheeky bent. Brava! A star is born!

I have found some truly splendiferous t-shirts! First, I present to you The Whoreanus:
Sometimes, a combination of words results in an irresistible gestalt. Such is the case with the words "whore" and "anus." On their own, they are mildly amusing terms. But together, magic happens!
If you know me, you know I love menstruation (mostly because I don't suffer from it). So when I saw this t-shirt, I just about soiled myself with glee:

What does this sequence of images suggest to you? If you said anus, you'd be correct! The images are elliptical representations of what the WhiteStarr Company is all about: anal bleaching (note: page spawns popup of above images). It's brilliant! I can't think of a more attractive way to package chemical ass-wiping.
Other winsome parts of the website include this page promoting anal tattooing (note: page spawns popup of above images). An animated logo beckons you to "Bling Your Ass Now." The company offers a "free supplement 'Glow in the Dark' [anal tattoo. So that] simply by bending over, others won't have a single problem finding the correct direction." |

| My Review of the X-Box |
[May. 13th, 2005|06:32 pm] |
I had an extended discussion on a message board about the aesthetic merits of the new X-Box, I'll just share my best bits, minus the detritus:
This X-Box looks like a computer tower being strangled, an ungainly hourglass of fug.
...
This vicious stab to the eyes in the form of a gaming appliance will be primarily bought and used by greasy youngsters in dark rooms. Thus preserving the rest of civilization, which they have little to do with, from the horror that is the X-Box.
...
Saying it looks better than the old X-Box is like saying that a toilet is better to drink out of than a septic tank.
...
In case any designers involved with the X-Box are reading this, here's my advice: Go to your nearest KFC and find a spork. Note its delightful, whimsical form. Gaze well at its multi-functional shape. Then, with the utmost force, jab it into your eyeballs that have served you so poorly. This way, you can truly empathize with those on the receiving end of your design. And understanding the customer is the key to good design. |

The old fashioned air sickness bag gets a fantastical update in the form of an international design competition called Design for Chunks. My personal favorite is this entry by Ryosuke Tei for the Furi Furi Company that I've named Captain Puke:
There's no better time for such charming distractions than when one has a mouth full of digestive juices. |

I realize it's a bit late now to celebrate the union of Prince Chucky and Bride of Chucky, but somehow, the image on this t-shirt tickles:
Let me just say again—and it can't be said often enough—how grateful I am Camilla is past childbearing age and will thus spare the world of the little Cthulhus she and Charles would otherwise have. |

Behold the glory that is the PeaceKeeper handbag:
Not only does it look cool, function both as a container and a weapon, but it's also an ironic artistic statement on the pervasive paranoia in our urban dystopia. For all the ladies and drag queens out there, you can add some punch to your wardrobe for just 75 bucks. |

| T-Shirt Hell Freezes Over |
[May. 2nd, 2005|04:53 pm] |
The internet's top store for tasteless, offensive, and occasionally, witty t-shirts has just decided to censor itself. The owner announces, with this press release, that the Worse Than Hell section of the store will be closed permanently. That's the section where fashion victimizers will find shirts making light of everything from The Tsunami to rape to gay-bashing to racism. I personally fancied the "Abortion Tickles" shirt from that category, but I guess there will be no more uterine flicking.
It's a sad day that even this bastion of bad taste will bow to the army of offended people. Being offended is not a medical condition, it's a state of mind. Tsunamis, rape, gay-bashing and racism themselves are the problem, t-shirts that say silly things about them? Not so much. |
