NIKE x NARUTO








Derty Harry of DeviantArt created these mockups of Nike Dunks based on characters from the anime, Naruto. These are pretty badass, but there's a whole set of them on the artist's page.

THESE KICKS ARE DOPE, PHAT, AND JIGGYFLY



These red patent leather hightops are called Diet Butcher Slim Skins.

If I owned these, I'd walk around naked. I wouldn't want clothing to distract from the beauty of these sneakers. Plus I'm sure they cost an arm and a soul, soI wouldn't really have a choice, would I?

Covet.
TATUAJES





I found these tattoos in the Facebook group Tattoos and Tattoo Art's gallery. If you're going to get a superhero tattoo, this is the only way to do it. I'm still looking and hoping for an artist this talented.

NY77: THE COOLEST YEAR IN HELL





This documentary, chronicling the religious experience that was New York in 1977, is one of the most amazing docs I've ever seen in my short life. It's impossible to not be amazed and inspired by it. You can't start your life until you've watched it. Above is jsut a small taste.

YE OLDE FACEBOOK



I changed my Facebook language to Pirate English last night. Here's a sample of the emails it sends me now.
SCIENTOLOGY PIRATES



The torrent site PirateBay seems to have jumped on the Scientology bandwagon. They're now offering a full range of links to materials related to the Church of Scientology, most of which are labeled as having been banned from somewhere.

SUGARSHOCK



I never get tired of Joss Whedon. The man has a way with words. The man plays ping pong with the English language. And he wrote Sugarshock. And Fabio Moon illustrated it. There are only three issues, but I'd sell your soul for more.

Also, Sugarshock features the best Abraham Lincoln sidestory, ever, in the history of comics.

So you should read it.

SEVEN NATION ARMY



There are a lot of versions of The White Stripes' song "Seven Nation Army", usually chanted at soccer games. But this version, by French funk ensemble The Dynamics, is probably the best I've heard in a long time.

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE



A fanatical sect of Heath Ledger fans have set up a website and demanded that Ledger be the last Joker ever in film, in respect of his legacy and award-worthy performance. They've boarded themselves up in a newly-built fortress in the mountains of Wyoming (See what I did there?), and set up shrines to Heath, sacrificing all his former leading ladies (they killed Julia Styles twice), and started building nuclear weapons, which will launch if their demands are not met (not really).

But seriously, the sentiment is admirable and, yes, Heath's performanc in The Dark Night was creepy-good, but I honeslty don't see Hollywood adhering to this, even with the petitition. Oh yeah, there's a petition.

CROOKED LITTLE VEIN (AGAIN)



Warren Ellis released a limited edition of his cult favorite prose novel, Crooked Little Vein. As of now, the only sure way to get a copy is to pry it from someone's cold, dead fingers.

I'll go get my crowbar.

DEAR, HEROES (I FINALLY KNOW HOW TO QUIT YOU)...



It's gotten to the point that Heroes is like the alcoholic girlfriend I constantly have to defend to my friends, knowing that I have no business in this situation. There have been incidents and continuity errors and lazy writing for, literally, years. How am I expected to stay in this situation, knowing that there's something better out there?

Yep, I think we're taking a break, Heroes. Besides, I've been seeing Battlestar Galactica behind your back. Now there's a show that knows how to treat a man. Also, Lost is looking pretty good in that skirt. Talk about backstory.

DEATH STAR OVER SAN FANCISCO (VIA CURRENT)




This is so much cooler than the new episode of Grey's Anatomy. In fact, everything is.

THEIR "A" GAME (IT'S HERE)



The third series of Skins got off to a rocky start, with an introductory episode that couldn't really be expected to pull us into anyone's life, and a second ep that I now realize was just setup for something Great. Series 3, Episode 3: Thomas was the episode that did my head in. It was Skins. The Skins I'm constantly talking about and advertising to any and everyone who will listen or read. And in the aftermath, bridging the gap between Thomas and Pandora (the title of next week's episode) is this video, which sums up Pandora and Thomas, who are completely different characters from any that have been on the show so far, but in terms of the depth and tragedy and beauty of their love story (wow, I should stop) are this season's answer to Cassie and Sid.

It's time to get this Skins Party started. (It's underground, in a cave)

BLOG ENVY



While looking for information about Heroes Volume 4, I stumbled across this blog. This guy called JGoat (although wouldn't it be impressive if he were a goat) REAMED Heroes. He called them on every bit of their bullshit and made me laugh in the process. I felt like I was reading a detailed email from an old friend. So I read what he had to say about Lost. And because I trust my old friend's opinion so much, I think I'm going to have to catch up on 4 seasons.

Old friend, someone's earned a cup of coffee.

RUSSIAN ULTRA NATIONALISTS




The last time I posted about skinheads, they were Indonesia's version of the original "working class" skinheads. The kind who championed worker's rights. Sure those skinheads are the ones who gave rise to the first racist skinheads, but I doubt most of them knew it was leading to that.

These are the other skinheads.

In Russia, over the past few years, there's been an incredible upsurge in anti-immigrant sentiment and neo-nazi groups. At the center of this is the NSO, Russia's ultranationalist "political revolutionary" party. Think of them as the Super Saiyans of Nazism (yep, that's how its spelled). The NSO subscribe to pretty much the same ideals that started the original Nazis on their way. They feel threatened by what they see as an unlawfull occupancy of Russia by immigrants of all colors. They feel that most, if not all of their socioeconomic problems can be traced back to the brown people. This isn't made any better by the low priced (often free) college education that many immigrants, especially African ones, can receive in Russia.

They've begun a massive propaganda campaign utilizing everyone's favorite political tool, online flash videos (i.e. Youtube, Megavideo, etc). But instead of slandering the names of the brown people they consider their opponents, THEY BEAT THEM TO DEATH. And then there are the training camps.

Honestly, there's nothing I could say about this that the above video couldn't say better. So watch it. Beware.

YOUNG ADULT NOVELS (AND OTHER THINGS YOU LOOK DOWN ON)

At what age do you become too old to read a young adult novel? I know people scoff heavily at the idea of reading them, even in their teens, when they are the target demographic, but honestly, I've never seen this magical cutoff point when you become too old for a form of media. As long as it appeals to you in some way, what difference does it make? I'm all for growing the fuck up and taking responsibility for your own life, but I don't get how that somehow means that cartoons and lighthearted reading are beneath you once you meet a certain age. A woman who just happens to have been molested as a child and just happens to like the Harry Potter series is not exhibiting signs of regression in order to deal with childhood trauma. Or not necessarily. She might be. But she may also just like the writing, the story, the subject matter. Maybe the part of her subconscious that is drawn to a book series about a teen wizard is really just the part of her that appreciates the themes of responsibility on a deeper level and admires the way they're introduced to their target audience through metaphors they can easily connect to and carry into adulthood. Maybe the 25 year-old artist who watches cartoons for hours a day has an indescribable creative process that you, in your infinite stuffiness just can't understand, because who's really wired exactly like someone else?

Besides, you spent so much time trying to be a grown up in every way that you drove yourself to neurosis and paranoia. You need to loosen up. Everyone says so behind your back.
