Hello Kitty AK-47: Is This Really Necessary?
It has a “hand-crocheted shoulder-stock muffler and the anodized titanium plating.” Found myself wanting it for a second until I realized that I don’t have an extra $1,072.95 to spend on food, let alone an assault rifle.

Top 11 Things I Loved About Portugal Besides Being Robbed by a Gypsy
Okay. You guys all told me to be careful and that Portugal was filled with pickpockets but I didn’t heed your warnings. Why? The people all seem so nice and no one has ever tried to rob me before! Except for that one time at gunpoint, but all they got was my homephone (without the charging dock suckers!).
Anyhow, color me wrong for not listening to you. In a open and airy plaza of all places, I see a guy in shades look like he’s trying to touch my sister so I grab his hand to stop him. The surprise? He’s already holding her green wallet (the one that was in her zipped bag) in his hand!!! All I can do is squeeze superhard and yell at the top of my lungs.

Kanye West Interns at Gap
So if the devil wear Prada and Adam Eve wear nada
I’m in between, just way more fresha
With way less effort
Cuz when you try hard, that’s when you die hard
Or at least that’s what he said before, but Kanye West seems to be trying pretty darn hard! Just when you thought (again) that he was a pompous ass, he goes and starts doing something that makes you think he deserves to feel that way. Word on the street is that Mr. West is working as a humble intern to Gap’s creative director Patrick Robinson and learning the tricks of the trade so that he can start his own line.
I’m continuously impressed by Kanye and follow a lot of the advice that he gives in his book. It’s highly possible that his new line is going to be out of this world just like everything else he does. Any chance it will be sustainable?

Why That Triangle Arrow Recycling Symbol is a Piece of Garbage
The Society of the Plastics Industry developed a resin identification code (that triangle shape with the arrows chasing each other) in 1988 as a way to get us to recycle, but most people do not know that the mark itself is pretty much meaningless. If you’re washing and recycling takeout containers or other plastics that have the “recycler’s bermuda triangle” on them, you might just be acting a fool.
Luckily, design professor KT Meaney and her students have come up with some way better, less retarded graphic solutions to show people whether or not what they are buying can be recycled. Remember, we vote with our cash money so boycotting manufacturers and food distributors who use styrofoam and non-recyclable plastics is the best way to tell them that they need to check themselves before they wreck themselves.
Meat section postcard (Design: David Mitchell)
Smart meat-section trompe l’oeil postcard alerts consumers that styrofoam packaging sucks, without discrediting the delicious product inside of it.
Coupon broadsheet (Design: Britt Cobb)
This supersmart flyer organizes weekly specials into those which have recyclable containers and those that don’t.
