Best known for their synchronous  treadmill video, Chicago band OK Go have outdone themselves with this one-shot clip for their latest track, “This Too Shall Pass.” The guys sketched out the idea and then hired a collective of geeky art engineers known as Synn Labs, who spent the better part of four months building a [...]

Considering their budget was probably minuscule, directors Eddie King and Tyler Marshall did a pretty f*cking fantastic job spoofing artist Ke$ha’s pop-opus ‘Tik Tok’ in Star Wars land. What we’ve learned is that everything is better Star Wars. Oh, and lego, too. King and Marshall, collectively known as Teddie Films, even made sure the lipsynching [...]

Our friend Ron English [interviewed] was in McAllen, Texas, for something this past weekend and decided, ‘hey, you know what, I think I’m going to paint some cows.’ So he found a guy named David Freeman who allowed Ron to “bomb” four of his “bovines.” This world-map one is fantastic.

It’s difficult to decide which is more disturbing: a.) Lady Gaga has become so inexplicably famous–due to both a fashion sense born from doing drugs the rest of us don’t even know exist and, ahem, her damn catchy music–that she has found her way onto this series of dollar bills by artist Craig Gleason (site [...]

This has to be one of the most half-baked inventions in history. If it didn’t come with such noble intentions–to question the relationship between the human body and its surrounding environment–it would most definitely take the cake. It’s implausible to think that anyone in their right mind would ever 1. buy this and 2. wear [...]

French artist Michel de Broin built a massive disco ball that measures 23.6-feet in diameter and contains a whopping 1,000 individual mirrors. Then he attached the sphere to a crane 165-feet in the air and suspended it in the Jardin du Luxembourg during the Nuit Blanche event in Paris. After directing spotlights at it from [...]

The most famous facial tattoo I can remember is the tribal one Mike Tyson got some time ago. Stupid and obnoxious sure, but nothing beats this guy named Matthew who was somehow convinced by Ray-Ban to get a pair of their shades tattooed on his face.
