Flying Toast
Nothing quite says Good Morning like fresh toasting flying towards your face. The Brunch is a series of hyper-precise kitchen equipment from this Dutch designer Ivo Vos that makes a statement about our society’s obsession with perfection, precision, and order.
The Bread Slicer cuts even, uniform slices of bread and the Toaster requires skill and precision to shoot your toast across the kitchen.
A well known theory in psychology states that neurosis are a result of the lack of real dangers that result from the high level of well-being in our western society. This project explores post-functional products that address the desire for skill, struggle, rituals, perfection, preparation and anticipation – qualities lost when we indulge in the comforts of prozac technology.

Wanna Try My Jerky?
Ok, maybe that title was a little too dramatic, but these illustrated arm chairs from Aksel Creations are really eye-catching in that bizarre chopped-up-body kind of way.

Cadbury Ad Raises Eyebrows
These kids have dancing eyebrows. Stick with it, it’s much better than it sounds.
If only Cadbury didn’t taste like ass (don’t ask how I know this).

Bad Plate
What’s more irritating than finding pubic hair on your plate? Pubic hair in your food.

Part of Bob Turek’s object remix series, this hand-made body amplifier interesting has speakers in the bust, and various inputs in the vajayjay.
He’s super cool and he know Kung Fu. Drives a $5,000 dollar car and wears $100 dollar suits. And when it comes to the ladies, he’s out of sight. Black Dynamite!
[Warning: trailer contains some nudity and explicit language]
Black Dynamite premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, where Sony picked it up for a steal at USD 2 million. It’s set for release this year. Can you dig it, sucka?!!
You can’t pull the wool over their eyes indefinitely.
And I don’t mean the ass-whooping you’ll get from your wife/girlfriend/momma when you get home with body glitter all over your crotch.
Stripping can be dangerous for exotic dancers – pole burn, herniated disks, stripper’s knee are a few hazards they face. You’d hardly think the men who visit them were in any danger, but as it turns out, a first time visitor to the XTC strip club in Akron, Ohio is suing the management after being hit in the face by a dancer’s flying shoe! Yusuf Evans alleges the “hazardous” high kick was from a dancer called Tiara, and shoe in question was a 1970s-style platform heel.
Evan’s needed surgery to his nose and is now seeking USD 25,000 in damages from the dancer and her employers. Evans’ law suit claims the club allowed its dancers to wear “improper attire”, making it a “hazardous area”.
I hope Tiara makes it through this ordeal fine, she really needs the money to put herself through college.
In any case read the full story at Metro.
