These creepy sheep are part of an art installation in Creepsville. If you take a closer look, you’ll see the head of each animal has been replaced with a rotary phone circa 1955. Their legs are made up of handsets and the wool is actually a bunch of intertwined phone cords. Who knew such a piece of shit could become ...

Though I decided to wear a condom, some of you may have kids and could possible have an electrical outage sometime in the near future. Am I being vague enough? Good. Because you’re going to want to scoop up a few of these Glow-in-the-Dark Doorknob Grips. At $18 a 4-pack and made from soft latex-ish material, they’ll help your kids ...

Xerox is looking to venture outside the office world you’ve associated it with. Seems now it’s aiming to make tree-hugging hippies smile with erasable paper. The paper automatically clears itself after a 24-hour waiting period and can then be used again and again, up to 100 times. It may not be a zero-watt monitor, but hey, it beats sitting there ...

If you live in a major city, you know about the crazy homeless religious fanatics which turn up every so often at a major street corner, clutching a Bible to their chest and preaching about the upcoming apocalypse and how we’re all going to burn in hell.

Blue was calm and green was sensitive, while red was angry and black was, well, I don’t remember what black was.

You can go and envy Mr. Rich Man while watching his 70″+ plasma TV through the window of your local mansion. See how proud he seems of his accomplishment? All of these years of work, so he can enjoy a TV. Only if he knew that his measly 70 inches are dwarfed by the humongous MEGASCREEN! A TV so large ...

This re-creation of Van Gogh’s “Skull with a Burning Cigarette” was made entirely of cigarette packs. If you look very closely, you’ll see the painting resembles a mosaic and is filled with packs of Winston, Camel, and Marlboro cigarettes. How appropriate, unlike some other works of art we know of, this is true dedicated. Cancer sticks at their best if ...

Car companies thrive by using a powerful logo to represent the brute force behind their vehicles. Ferrari uses a wild bucking horse. Jaguar uses a huge and powerful raging cat in mid-leap. Lamborghini uses the image of a charging bull. It’s all about the image of pure animalistic power! Now, imagine if these companies were all of a sudden focused ...

More than a year ago we wrote about an artist who featured drawings made using only the super-retro Etch-A-Sketch. Sorry to Mr. Gagliardi. I mean, we love the fact that you have the awesomeness to feature the word “Gag” in your name, but this artist, who made a rendition of the Grand Theft Auto IV cover art on his Etch, ...

You’d think that your average white collar cubicle warrior would be hellbent on actually standing up and moving around when he’s not tied down to his office chair, but apparently, office workers just like to sit!
