Once upon a time, Sesame Street was the epicenter of my childhood memories. But now, thanks to this new Friendly Beasts t-shirt design, any hope I had at retaining that nostalgia has been dashed. Friendly Beasts reexamines the beasts of Sesame Street as, well, pretty much what they are: beasts. These scientifically correct animal caricatures�reevaluate�everything we thought we knew about ...

Enough is enough already. Can’t a superhero dressed in a Batsuit get a little privacy around here. Handle it yourself Gotham! The game is on! I’m not positive, but I think this means he’s not coming. Link [via]

As far as anatomical models go, you don’t see many vagina-themed objects. Sure, you’ve got your male sex toys and your science class anatomically correct scale model, but where are all the vagina-inspired goodies. The ratio between penis and vagina-themed gadgets is unsettling at best and terrifying at worst. I guess vagina’s just aren’t as funny as a huge shaft? ...

Inspired by the likes of Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Indiana, these pop art-infused Converse sneakers integrate famous pop prints into the design of the shoe. No Warhol that I can tell, but who cares, Warhol is everywhere already. Did you ever think you’d own sneakers featuring Banday dots? I think not. Link [via]

Nature is beautiful when you don’t live around it all of your life, but coming from someone who lived among the mountains and the trees and the grass for the better part of his short life, I can attest to the fact that the beauty of nature becomes sort of boring after you’ve seen it everyday for 10 years.

When you take 2000 recycled keys off of defunct keyboards and paste them onto a bench made of baltic birch wood, you’re just asking for furniture snobs to turn up their noses in disgust. “But how could you destroy such beautiful wood?” Ahh, shove it up your key-impressed asses. Designed by Nolan Herbut (lol, Her Butt), the Wolfang Keyboard Bench ...

The Less Lamp is one of those gadgets that would appear to be great for anger management. Take that… and that! And…. AHHHH, I’M BLINDED! SCREW YOU LESS LAMP! OH, GOD, MY EYES! An innovative design concept, the Less Lamp is a sealed lamp shade made of plaster. When you get it and unbox the Less Lamp, you�ll find that ...

I’m cool with my iPad Nano. Oh, you’ve never heard of it? Maybe you know it by its more common name: the iPhone. Zing. Let’s not fool ourselves. Despite the fact that the iPad might be nothing more than a bonafied iPhone on steroids, you’ve just gotta have one. The problem is transportation. The iGotaBigAssPocket line of pants will make ...

Apparently the Space Invaders military is limited to only the solid colored aliens. So racist, I know. But there is a whole slew of Invaders we had yet to have seen up until now. They come in all shapes and sizes, though they seem to have not advanced to the point at which segregation is a non-issue. All the technology ...

I told you that this would be the last time you’d ever do something like this to me. I told you if I ever caught you with that damn Macbook again that’d be the last straw. Our last option, if we want to save this relationship, is the�Codependency�Suit. That’s right, 24/7 surveillance and communication. It’ll be great! We’ll finally get ...
