sucks to be her.

By now, I am sure all of America is familiar with this episode of Moment of Truth, even if you've never seen the show, like myself. seriously, this can't be true. I think it is all a scam. What do you guys think?

wow.

Our good friend and blogger, Travis, shared this image of this pretty amazing sculpture. I tried to find out where it is located and who did it... can you fill us in?

Enjoy.

inside noth korea

I find it interesting how we always hear about north korea, yet because of strict border enforcements and communistic laws we are hardly, if ever allowed to see what goes on inside North Korea. Fortunately award winning photographer, Mark Edward Harris, published a book, INSIDE NORTH KOREA showcasing the photos he took (under supervision) while he was given permission to visit North Korea.

Modern Toilet

Taiwan's chain of MODERN TOILET restaurants has got me in awe. From not only the seats being made from actual toilets, the bowls are actually miniature toilet bowls, not to mention the chocolate ice cream dessert made to look like, well you know what. i wonder if they offer green tea ice cream. ha. So the next time you are in Taiwan, stop by, take your camera and 'bon appetit' if it's even possible.

LINA SCHEYNIUS

SARA A. TREMBLAY

here is another cool website in which i felt had a really cool concept. created by
Miranda Lehman & Kamden Vencill when they

" found [themselves] surrounded by artwork that seemed to be hopelessly lacking in sincerity, inspiration, and mystery. [They] felt frustrated that cleverness seemed to hold more weight than substance, and distressed that the shared experience of simply being human had become totally irrelevant. At best, the art world seemed like nothing special. At worst, art appeared to be mired in a swamp of its own making. [They] felt compelled to remind everyone (including ourselves) that art is for the the people who make it and for the people who choose to experience it--not for an ambiguous elite whose true identity remains to be known."

couldnt agree more. enjoy.

last supper

Interesting to see leonardo da vinci's studies for his version of The Last Supper.

6 word motto for the US

I thought this was quite amusing, written by Stephen J. Dubner, he invites readers to create a 6 word motto for the US. some of the responses were pretty clever and amusing.

• “America: Because We Know Better Than You.”
• "USA, Sold to the Highest Bidder."
• "Land of the Free (Just Kidding)”
• “Do you want fries with that?”
• "Affordable or not, we’ll buy it."
• Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton? Deja Vu?
• "America: Fixing You Before We Fix Ourselves"
• "The U.S.A (Warning: may contain nuts)"
• “Where freedom is a catch phrase”
• "Not as bad as you think."

and much more, click here!

Any suggestions?
