Robb messaged me today and wrote "Ugliest sh*t ever on Gilt this week. Literally crazy man clothing." I had not been checking this week so as not to be tempted. Not that it mattered, because after Robb's comment I logged in to Gilt and this is what I found. Crazy man clothing.
Donald Faison and his crew battle green aliens led by Lil Jon over some weed that's out of this world, quite literally, in this rap song. [funnyordie 2debf58bc2]
I believe this music video (Tommy Sparks' "She's Got Me Dancing" and directed by Eric Wareheim) is the bastard child between Tron and Ziggy Stardust. [vimeo=http://vimeo.com/3884738]

Time's TV critic James Poniewozik ponders this question (I shared the Susan Boyle clip over at Sundance Channel). He writes that the spread both online and in "replays on talk shows, news shows, and on and on" of dowdy Susan Boyle's appearance on Britain's Got Talent eclipses a behemoth such as the Super Bowl audience and suggests that "the growing Boyle phenomenon...shows that mass-media experiences still exist in the fragmented-media era—they're just different."
The 30 second sound bite has now been replaced by a 30 second video moment that "tell a story in a short time [with] a character, conflict, triumph and resolution in scant minutes."

Some of the Washington Nationals' jerseys at a recent game had a typo. If they really wanted to save some money by shortening their name, they can get rid of a whole buncha letters and just go with the "Washington Nots."
If you haven't visited me recently over at Sundance Channel's blog SUNfiltered, here are some of the things I've discussed over there. Let me know what you think in the comments at SUNfiltered! See ya later alligator.

Video tutorial on how to kick game at the gym. My only variation is instead of inviting a gal for a post-work out all natural smoothie, I invite them to the gun show. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koJEtIqgEfA&fmt=18]
Last Saturday I went to a few art galleries in Chelsea.
Richard Woods' The Nature Show at Perry Rubenstein Gallery.
Duane Hason's hyperrealist sculptures on display at Van De Weghe. I pointed out this old man forlornly sitting inside the door to Pooja as we walked by and she freaked out. I don't know why she hates old people so much.
This deconstructed violin caught my eye at DJT.
Mini koons.
Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity by Yayoi Kusama currently exhibiting at the Gogosian Gallery is a must-see.
...a mesmerizing "infinity room" that operates on a system of simple yet ingenious optical devices. In a dark void, a delicate, shimmering mirage unfolds around the viewer, a myriad of gleaming lights that reproduce and reflect endlessly upon each other in golden silence.
Pooja "slipping" on one of the pieces at the John Waters exhibit at Marianne Boesky Gallery.
He's baaaackkkk. The proprietor of Jones' Big Ass Truck Rental and Storage has entered the food market with Jones' Good Ass BBQ & Foot Massage joint, which he announced with yet another amazing commercial. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPkMUU9tUqk&fmt=18]
I've said it before but I'm going to say it again: THANK YOU INTERNET.

Michael Kontopoulos created "a system of sculptures that is constantly on the brink of collapse." I just want to give them that extra nudge to push them over. Not sure what that says about me... [vimeo=http://vimeo.com/1609126]

An amusing spreadsheet shaped grill by Roma Voroneshski of Art. Lebedev Studio. NO BACON.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pUUDf_55KQ&fmt=18] The 19th hole at the Legend Golf and Safari Resort at Entabeni in the Limpopo province in South Africa might be considered one of the most, if not the most difficult hole in the world. One must tee off from the top of a mountain over a lush forest and onto the green which is located 400 meters below. And then wait 30 seconds before his or her ball landed on the green. Casey Martin and you can also leave your golf cart at home because you'll need a goddamn helicopter to reach the hole.
Currently there is an open $1 million prize for whomever can hit a hole-in-one here.
Jónas Valtýsson created this amazing poster by photographing splashed milk for an annual art festival, "Sequences" held in Reykjavik, Iceland.
On a sunny Saturday early afternoon I spotted this (apparently new) street art outside of the C, E subway stop on 24th Street.
