Joaquin Phoenix, The (Bad) Rapper

Ex movie star now wanna be rapper Joaquin Phoenix made his debut this past friday. J. Pizzle performed three hip-hop tracks in front of a full house at nightclub LAVO in Las Vegas. The audience was reportedly unenthusiastic about the set but Phoenix remains passionate, saying:

Are there people out there who think I’m a joke? I’m sure there will be. Are there people who think it’s going to suck? Probably, but I can’t worry about that.

Watch J. Pizzle drop it like it’s hot – it’s worth a laugh at the very least.

Another clip after the jump.

Ultra-Minimalist Products That Are Almost Impossible to Use

Keeping things simple is great but there comes a point when it’s hard to figure out what a minimalist design is intended for…

Recycled Paper Side Table

Matt Gagnon’s recycled side table looks like a sculptural masterpiece, and people will be wowed by your new lamp stand. Gagnon must have been on crack when he decided the pricing – $2798! GTFO!

Fuksas Mocha Cups

These are designer coffee cups. Make sure to tell your less-knowledgeable friends before they ash in them.

Pano Logic Computer

The Pano device has no CPU, no memory, no operating system, no hard drive, and no drivers. Supposedly Pano delivers a complete Microsoft Windows experience through the use of magic server virtualization.

10 Lesser Known Serial Killers

Choosing serial killer as your occupation can’t be all fun and games. With so many famous murderers in the hall of fame – Ed Gein, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Jack the Ripper, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy – it’s hard getting some attention if you’re kinda average at your job.

Here are a couple of individuals that couldn’t make it to the upper echelons but were evil bastards nonetheless.

10. John Robinson

There are eleven women either dead or missing that are linked to John Robinson. Over a 16 year period, the married middle-aged father of four, met the women through the internet, and personal ads. The sadomasochist was found out when when two metal 55-gallon barrels were unearthed in his property in rural Kansas, and each happened to contain a female body. A few days later, three more female bodies were found in barrels in a storage locker rented by Robinson in Missouri. He was convicted of the murders and given the death penalty.

9. Larry Eyler

Larry Eyler started off his chosen occupation buy picking up men and taking them to a secluded spot for some great sex. He would then then handcuff them, beat them to death, disembowel them, and pull their pants down. That last bit must have been his funny side coming out. Eyler was connected to one of his crimes by a tyre track he left at one of the scenes, and upon searching through his trash, the police found the remains of a 15-year old boy. Eyler was sentenced to death, but died of of AIDS-related complications. After his death it was revealed that he had committed 21 murders.

8. Peter Kurten
Peter Kurten started his business in the city of Dusseldorf, Germany from 1929. Most of the victims were young women, although men and children were not excluded; they all were slashed or bludgeoned to death, and sometimes sexually assaulted. Kurten even sent friendly letters to the cops informing them where to find the bodies, he even drew a map.

Kurten got sexual gratification in the slayings; his ultimate satisfaction came when he caught the blood spurting from a victim’s wounds in his mouth and swallowed it. Known as the Vampire of Dusseldorf, Kurten murdered over 30 people, and was eventually was guillotined in Cologne, Germany in 1931.

Pictures of Walls

Not just of walls (that would just be silly), but with stuff written on them.

Without love breath is just a clock ticking. Without breath love is just necrophilia.

Your life is in danger. Do not urinate. Do NOT urinate.

The pavement used to be our garden.

Yama, The Tibetan Skull Camera

So strange, so alluring. This is a pinhole camera, named after Yama, the Tibetan God of Death. The skull that encases the cameras was blessed by a Tibetan Lama, and will be used by designer Wayne Martin Belger for a photo series on the modern incarnation of Southeast Asians deities. I wouldn’t be surprised if Yama had freaky magical powers.

Yama’s eyes are cast from bronze and silver, with a brass pinhole in each eye. Yama is made from aluminium, titanium, copper, brass, bronze steel, silver, gold, mercury with four sapphires, three rubies, turquoise, sand, slood, and nine opals. The switch to open and close the film chamber is located under the jaw.

Wild times

In case you’ve been in hibernation, or a sex slave in the wilderness for the past couple of months, you’ll know that there’s a recession going on out there. And by out there I mean on your doorstep, in your wallet, and even in your bar fridge. I’m hating it – how about you? Anyway in both keeping up with current economic events (it’s a Bear Market apparently), and simultaneously taking your mind off them, I present a few pieces from Things Bears Love via Bored At Work (which I so am).

Psycho killer gouges out and devours his own eyeball!!

eyeball soup

So this is nice. Texan death row inmate Andre Thomas has ripped out his one working eye with his fingers and eaten it. Hopefully he had the good sense to perhaps sauté it in a little garlic and serve it on a bed of lemon-scented basmati rice (and not blue soup/toilet duck as in the above image). Andre is not inexperienced at this sort of thing – he ripped his other eyeball out some years ago. Anyway this whack-job has been moved to a nice cosy psychiatric facility where he probably won’t be able to disfigure his blind self any further.

Oh and FYI Andre was on death row for brutally murdering his wife, son and infant stepdaughter. Apparently he ripped their hearts out. Literally.

This lovely tale via The Daily Mail.

Erwin Wurm, the Chubby Maker

I don’t know about you but I quite like a little “junk in the trunk”.

Weird Austrian Erwin Wurm seems to have a similar view, but for motor vehicles. By plumping up an existing car with styrofoam and fiberglass, his “Fat Car” is a  chubby version of the original sporty model. He wants to offer a sharp criticism of our current value system, as the advertising world demands us to stay thin but to consume more and more – via Geekologie.
