A little caption I created for this photograph that made me laugh.
I like this untitled piece by Jason Lazarus.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTnPq0uIUds&fmt=18] Tate Shots visits pop art super star Jeff Koons as he--sounding like an over earnest high school art teacher--takes us around his busy New York studio. It's a fascinating glimpse into the behind the scenes away from the glamour.
It may or may not be a surprise to you depending on your familiarity with this topic, but the intimate technical involvement of assistants in the creation and realization of the artist's works is something that's gone on for years and years (Paging Rembrandt). They were just called "apprentices" back then.

Like a real life Flight of the Conchords episode, this comedy duo of Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal (even their names are sort of similar to the HBO show characters) musically order their food at a couple fast food drive thrus. The ending of the Taco Bell one, which they swear isn't scripted, is particularly awesome. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uwY3sjqYX0&fmt=18]

No. No. No. These bacon themed decks are the opposite of extreme. This belongs in the realm of quaint lazy brunches with your mother-in-law.
Someone needs to stop this bacon madness. When will the vegetarians and vegans of the world unite and end this meme? And what is that funny feeling in the pit of my stomach that can only be quelled by the consumption of salty and crispy pork goodness???

[An interesting visualization of how George Lucas and Star Wars changed our world beyond just making a star of Harrison Ford and making Carrie Fisher the object of a-many's geek-fections.
