Yes, she’s weird. Yes, she’s crazy. Yes, she confuses the crap out of us with her stage antics. One thing is for sure though, she’s making a hell of a lot of money. But Lady Gaga hasn’t always been the pop idol she’s portrayed herself to be. In fact there was a time, not so long ago, when she wasn’t hiding her poker faced image with a giant feathered frock and rainbow colored leotard. Yep, it’s true. In fact, thanks to this video, we get a look at a younger Miss Gaga when she used to do open mic nights with her crappy college band.
We think the world has enough Janeane Garofalo loving, Melissa Ethridge sounding wannabes. Good choice selling out and going teeny bop.
We just wanted to remind you that we have some cool merchandise for sale over at CafePress. There’s some T-shirts, magnets, bumper stickers, and bags. It would be awesome if you got something. You can follow the link to the store by clicking the picture of the merchandise to the right.
To be honest with you, we’re broke. Our entire advertising budget was spent on last nights dinner at McDonalds. By wearing our merch, you’re helping us get the word out about the site. Besides, if you get something early on, you can say, “I got this before they became big.” So not only will you look cool with our stuff on, but you’ll have total bragging rights over your less than awesome acquaintances. It’s a win-win situation for both of us.
What do you do when you come to a crosswalk and a little, old lady is asleep and in your way? You:
A. Run her over.
B. Get out, politely wake her up, and help her cross the street.
C. Honk the horn multiple times until she gets the idea.
Well, the douche in the Mercedes picked C, and this is what he gets for it. You should have picked one of the other choices, dude. Hope your insurance covers acts of stupidity. We know ours doesn’t.
So what do you do with wood, foam, some copper tubing, and 250,000 Swarovski crystals? Naturally, you recreate the crucifixion of Jesus in a way that would bring a tears of joy to Liberace himself… duh.
Chicago artist Quinn Gregory created this piece, named “Infinite Hope”, in just over a year. The actual sculpting took only four and a half months. However, encrusting the sculpture with 250,000 Swarovski crystals took close to ten months. That’s a lot of hot gluing, people.
Rumor has it that Gregory sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the crystals, and then conceptualized and created the sculpture to atone for the deal. After all, even at wholesale, the entire lot of crystals would have cost Gregory close to $8,500. We would have just sold the crystals and gone on vacation to Tahiti, but to each his own.
Ok, so no big story here, just some pretty cool pictures of Roomba art that we found. Basically, you turn off all the lights, turn your Roomba on, and take a picture with the shutter open the entire time the Roomba is going. What your left with is a dizzyingly beautiful display of art in motion. Check out the circles the Roomba makes around the table legs in the right picture.
We never really liked the French. It’s almost like they try to act stuck up and snooty to the rest of the world. About the only things we enjoy out of France is their porn and their food… both superb. But in a country of overly secure egotists, there is one insecure Frenchman- the country’s president, Nicolas Sarkozy.
