Rihanna - S&M contraversy

Once upon a time when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth, recording artists attempted to boost sales by actually recording a decent record. Today? Not so much.

Somewhere Kanye West is fuming over Rihanna's recently released video 'S&M' (gee I wonder what it's about?), which has already been banned in 11 countries. Its a video chock full of Rihanna, pleather, chains, blow up dolls, licking, and a banana. Forget talent -- the key to commercial success is apparently pleather, and lots of it.

Rihanna is just the latest in a cluster of black women who apparently have thrown up the deuce to engaging in artistry or perfecting their stage presence in their careers. Now they rely exclusively on courting controversy to get attention... and Autotune. So sad that they think so little of their "talent."

Top 5 internet games

Bored at work? All your friends busy? Nothing on TV? Spinning Hat is here to save the day yet again.

Below is a list of links to some of the best internet games in human history. Go on take a break.


1. Filler has got to be one of my all time favorite time wasters. The goal of the game is simple, you need to click to create filler balls so you can fill up 2/3 of the screen before you can move on to the next level. Avoid the bouncy balls because they will pop any filler balls that you're filling up.


2. Totem Destroyer is a challenging and fun time waster that uses physics as a big part of its game play.


3. Magic Pen is a very fun time waster for adults that might remind you of your childhood days because your weapon of choice is a crayon. With your crayon you'll need to draw lines and circles on the screen to help your ball touch all the flags on the level.


4. Lunchtimers is a time waster where you're given a set of letters that look like a throwback to those magnetic alphabet letters you use to play with on mom's fridge.


5. The Falling Sand Game is a deceptively simple looking time waster. You have sand, water, salt and oil falling from the sky and you get to build walls, start fires and add plant material to see how everything interacts with each other.

Subliminal Advertising

Scary examples of subliminal messages in TV commercials, radio adverts and print.

Subliminal perception is a deliberate process created by communication technicians, whereby you receive and respond to information and instructions without being aware of it. Messages in the form of printed words, pictures or voices presented either very rapidly or very obscurely bypass your conscious awareness. Anything consciously perceived can be evaluated, criticized, discussed, argued, and possibly rejected. Anything programmed subliminally to your subconsciousness meets no resistance. This subliminal information is stored in your brain and capable of influencing your judgment, behavior and attitudes.

The coolest Big Cartel stores

The store is just as dark as the characters and themes being printed on the shirts.

Word Apparel!

There are certain features on this one worth noting like the torn edges and the illusion of depth from the top layer to the background. The layout flows well.

I Came From Nothing

I guess those tentacles on the sides “Came From Nothing” because I don’t recognize them from anything I’ve ever seen. Whatever they are, they perfectly match with the style of design on the shirts.

Nano engineered gadgets

Nanotechnology, the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale, has brought about a revolution in the field of science and technology, for it has the potential to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics and energy production.

RFID Tags

Researchers from Sunchon National University in Suncheon, South Korea, and Rice University in Houston have built a radio frequency identification tag that can be printed directly onto cereal boxes and potato chip bags.
