I'm Just Sayin'

Top: G W Bush
Bottom: Ted Bundy

Tell me they don't look like they hang out. I mean, if you squint hard enough they look like they could be the same guy. Except one of them is a seriously whacked out psycho murderer. The other is Ted Bundy. BOOYAH! What, too obvious?

Blow up the Bathroom (so to speak)

Want to cleanse both your body AND you mind? Well, now to can! Just buy this incredibly depressing, land mine-shaped soap and viola! The world is a better place.

From the site:

"Soap can be molded into any shape, and soap diminishes and disappears with use... a very poetic metaphor for landmine removal - as the soap disappears, so do the landmines. Through its use, Cleanup enables people to participate in the campaign against landmines with a simple, everyday occurrence."

At first I thought was a very weird, but pretty cool idea. Then I read this:

"About This Soap

Cleanup retails for $8.00 per bar.
$2.00 per bar is earmarked for donation to our de-mining partners."

As someone who has made soap and knows how little it costs to make, I have to say that I find this to be a total rip off, and for what? If $2 goes to de-mining efforts, then the soap should be $3. Period. Damn art school bastards (to see what the hell I'm talking about, click here

Douchebag "Street Artist" Shepard Fairey Arrested, Again

Apparently he's not worried about it though, because he says he's been arrested 14 times before. That guy is SO COOL.

Look, I love the Andre the Giant has a posse stickers as much as anybody, but seriously dude, you're a one trick pony who just cashes in on pop culture icons, just like so many other "artists" out there.

Apparently, Fairey's "Hope" poster featuring Obama (which is both incredibly creative and original... ha) somehow made him an instant success around the country (at least according to the LA Times) but when he went to Boston for his first solo show at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art (WHY, ICA Boston, WHY???), he was arrested for vandalism. Considering his "street art" style (damn it he is not real street art!!!) I'm going to have to say he's probably guilty. A little wheat paste can cost you a fortune there buddy!

The funny thing, though, is that earlier the same day he was in the city at some sort of rally or press conference with the Mayor, and yet nobody arrested him then! Come on, Boston police. Either he's a hero or a lawbreaker, but he can't be both. He's not Batman, for fuck's sake.
