A side project of a San Francisco design firm, "Everything is OK exists as a kind of social design experiment in subversive positivism." You can get this poster and an equally awesome barricade tape here.

Last night, I celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Jesus and the disciples. I don't know if something was on his mind, but Judas was strangely quiet.
Louis CK sits down and revisits with TIME his now YouTube famous hilarious interview with Conan. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjNgNDZzH5o&fmt=18]
Hopefully this classic clip of Gene Kelly a-tap dancing on roller skates will help temporarily erase the images of the whole chicken in a can. No? What about Megan Fox rolling around on a bed for this Esquire video shoot? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aus1PA5-SyI&fmt=18]
Some necessary apparel for any Manny Pacquiao fan. First, the hype t-shirt (with a solid pun).
Then the hype shoes.
And lastly, the hype jacket.
This product, whole chicken in a can, nearly converted me into a vegetarian or at least an anti-chickenitarian. But then for dinner I had a chicken shawarma. Go figure.
What's the next step for this disgusting item flying around the Internet tubes? 2 Girls and 1 whole chicken in a can???
[vimeo=http://vimeo.com/4403063] Artist Ellie Harrison created this vending machine that dispenses a bag of chips each time news referring to the recession appears in the headline of BBC News RSS feed.
This is currently showing until the end of May at Viewpoint Gallery at Plymouth College of Art. Bring this to New York City!

It is believed that "@" or the "at" sign originated from monks in the pre-printing press era as they were tasked with copying the Holy Scriptures tediously by hand, a "laborious process that encouraged typographical shorthand."
In 1536, "Francesco Lapi, a Florentine merchant, uses the @ symbol while penning a letter. It’s the first recorded use of the “at” sign outside a monastery."

Don't surf these not-quite-safe-for-work print ads for a surfing company while at work. It's mild stuff, but don't let them get you with this at the least. If you are going to look then at least have an excel page ready to switch over to just in case. View after the jump.

A blog documenting hospital food. It's kind of the opposite of the This is Why You're Fat blog.

If you don't live in New York City, let me tell you: Every weekend in a popular public space called Union Square, people loiter around with signs offering free hugs. Well, this prankster joins them, but to the annoyance of one free-hug offerer, ups the ante by offering passerbys deluxe hugs that cost just 2 dollars, although he is flexible on the pricing. Funny stuff occurs, especially with the one lady who comes back for seconds. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJfYAJJYMqg&fmt=18]
On Saturday afternoon, I went to see Ruben Ochoa's "Collapsed" installation. As I thought, it was impressive. What I wasn't prepared for was the art equivalent of a M.Night Shyamalan-esque twist. Spoiler alert: Click here to find out!
Later this month Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will receive a custom assault rifle, a "civilian version" of a modified M-4 rifle from the National Rifle Association. What glorification of gun culture?
Am I the only way that feels this way? When it comes to the popular culture and mainstream media spin on these matters, black people, so the story goes, plus guns equals thuggery and violence. White people plus guns equals standing up for the Second Amendment, our right to bear arms, and FREEDOM, gosh darnnit!
For my friend Clay they need to make one of "I broke my arm while jumping out of a chopper to go heli-skiing in Alaska."

Phillip Toledano photographed people while they played video games.
I wanted to take portraits of people that would reveal a hidden part of their character. So I had them play video games.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iq8qeDnnOQ] In 1932 circus performer Tiny Kline shot across Times Square on a line that she held on to with just her teeth. Those are strong chompers! It's impressive but as commenter jbickers said: I'd be more impressed if she were urinating the whole time. That certainly would have been something. She would also go on to become the first Tinker Bell at the age of 70 at Disneyland.
The theme for this photo challenge was "yellow"--the idea behind this was to make us more engaged with our surroundings despite our daily routine as well as to encourage our photography interests. Here are the fun results.
