Rev. Parsley



You may have heard of Rev. John Hagee, the McCain supporter who said God created Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for its homosexual "sins." Well now meet Rev. Rod Parsley, the televangelist megachurch pastor from Ohio who hates Islam. According to David Corn of Mother Jones, Parsley has called on Christians to wage war against Islam, which he considers to be a "false religion." In the past, Parsley has also railed against the separation of church and state, homosexuals, and abortion rights, comparing Planned Parenthood to Nazis.

John McCain actively sought and received Parsley's endorsement in the presidential race. McCain has called Parsley "a spiritual guide," and he hasn't said whether he shares Parsley's vicious anti-Islam views. That's because the mainstream media refuses to ask. And so, we've taken matters into our own hands, joining Mother Jones to present the truth about McCain's pastor.

Since the media won't question McCain about his deeply bigoted pastor, it's up to you to call attention to this issue. Make McCain's pastor problem a major story by forwarding this video to your family, friends, and colleagues.

We can't let McCain get away with aligning himself with a religious leader who's called for an all-out war on Islam, someone who draws no distinctions between Muslims and violent Islamic extremists. Now is the crucial time to act.

Droog T-Shirt Hanger Lamp



Always want to display your ultra rare tee shirt but dont want it to look tacky? Well here's a clever, highly customizable design by Hector Serrano, the Clothes Hanger Lamp features a simple concept: you supply the shade, which takes the form of any clothing you desire. The lamp features an acrylic frame into which a flourescent bulb (included) is inserted, and finished with your choice of 'shade' that can be changed as often as you like. Light-colored shirts are recommended for the best lighting effect.

you can find them here: http://www.allmodern.com/asp/show_detail.asp?sku=DRO1026&refid=DT81-DRO1026#ProdDetails

UK Cops get Gully!


While exiting a train Bournemouth [UK] station recently, Rapper Nzube Udezue, 21, a University of Oxford graduate, was ordered to lie face-down and was handcuffed by armed police. In this case of this mistaken identity, the police surrounded him and treated him like a high level threat. In his words:

“It took me a couple of seconds to realise that it was me that all those guns were aimed at. “I honestly felt like I’d stepped off the train and into a really bad dream.

“I’m shocked, confused, scared and embarrassed all at the same time.”Most of the bystanders had vacated the platform by now, by police order.

“And I’m not talking about normal police either. This is the Specialist Firearms Unit, about eight of them, machine guns, bullet proof vests, police dogs and all. “And they’re here to arrest me!”

Allegedly, Udezue was told that he was being arrested on suspicion of a “section one firearms incident”. He’s lucky to be alive. If that same shyte went down here in the good ole U.S. of A., those pigs would’ve shot him down before he even got his foot on the damn platform. SMH.

Nation of Whiners!?


John McCain’s campaign co-chairman and long time friend expressed his views about Americans recently:

Texan Phil Gramm [said] that much of Americans’ economic pain and uncertainty is psychosomatic [during] an interview with the conservative Washington Times. “You’ve heard of mental depression. This is a mental recession,” he told the paper. “We have sort of become a nation of whiners. … You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline.”

Dig Obama’s response to that garbage:

“I guess what he meant was, it’s a figment of your imagination, these high gas prices,” Barack Obama told supporters in Fairfax, Va. “America already has one Dr. Phil. We don’t need another one when it comes to the economy.”

Naturally, McCain was quick to distance himself from that statement, although we’re sure he shares the same views. These Republicans are so out of touch with reality, and Obama was quick to call them on that shyte.

YES WE CAN!!!!

Super Soaker Collection...lol





With an arsenal like this, you know dudes clocking mad elementary school chicks.

Loose lips...Sink ships



The clever folk at Fred & Friends designed the perfect conversation piece with Gin & Titonic. It's an ice cube mold that is shaped to depict miniature Titanics and icebergs that form a dramatic diorama when sunk into your drink. Admittedly, it's a pretty extreme manifestation of an only mildly funny pun. But there's something darkly appealing about the upended vessel clinking around your cocktail.

The mold includes four doomed ocean liners and just as many devastating icebergs. Expect them soon in stores and online retailers.


Available on July 16th, Shepard Fairey’s Duality of Humanity print has already got some folks in the public stirring. 18″ x 24″ in a monster edition of 450, the print vaguely features a young Barack Obama staring into the ground.

Marge Simpson Nike Dunk SB High....WHOA...



It's always nice to see something done right by the Nike Skateboarding camp, for once. The shoe’s colorway features Marge’s yellow skin tone, blue hair and green dress. The Dunk’s are allegedly limited only to a Asia/Pacific release, so get yo paypal account balance right because these will most likely end up smashing peoples wallets around the globe on release day.

Casa en Calamuchita / Calamuchita House






The house is a transparent glass pavilion with the North - South axis parallel to the valley like a cultural reference to the natural fact. The glass box, between four stones that enclose the services, is a space fluid in its unitary interior sometimes dining sometimes an additional sleeping area. For climatic reasons of cold winters and fresh nights, and the altitude of the place, the glass box this surrounded in a wood box. This box of sliding shutters allows small or large openings providing variable dimensions and sensations of privacy or openness.

This unit completes and complements with a tower of study, bedrooms and viewing platform, that alludes to the vertical axis of the mountain. A glass enclosed stairwell spirals around the outside of the building, allowing all 4 aspects of the surroundings to be taken in as one passes from level to level. At the top you arrive at the terrace viewpoint that allows, like in each level, extended lines of vision towards the Valley. By day the living area, surrounded by the service blocks, mimics the valley, at night the tower recreates the mountain. At night I escape to the safety of the mountain tower, returning at dawn to the living area and valley.

Che Guevara "My Setback's Kapitalism"



peep the "hack-job" on the tree


The wall's owner shot it down, but the original working title was gonna be "My Setback's Kapitalism". An ode to the endless barrage of T-shirts, posters, coffee mugs, etc that have now become synonymous with Che Guevara. Pretty fresh considering the very system that was the focus of Guevara's most inspired protests would go on to co-opt his vision, strip it of all ideological or political connotations, and repackage it on frisbees. USA #1

Pay homage to the "Father of Graffiti"




Have you ever heard of Joseph Kyselak? No?

That is not too surprising. Even though the Austria-born magistrate is perceived nowadays as the ancestor of modern day graffiti. Kyselak was born in Vienna on December 23rd, 1799. His perspectives weren't too bad for a man of his time. His Family was fairly rich and he was able to go to University. Anyway Kyselak obviously was far from too much career-orientated.

Sometime in the early 1820s, Kyselak made a bet with a couple of friends in Vienna. He bet that his name would be known all over the Austria-Hungarian Empire within 3 years (a vast piece of land at that time) without inventing a new kind of suicide (in fact, the people from Vienna were obviously well known for commiting suicide in very unorthodox ways).

What he invented instead was nothing less than modern-day "tagging". Kyselak travelled all over Central Europe in 1825 leaving his name in bright red and black at each and every exposed place he could find. The tag "Kyselak" could soon be found everywhere. He painted it on churches and castles, rocks and trees, bridges and obelisks. And in fact, within a year even his betting partners had to admit that Kyselak had indeed become very well known all over Austria and that he has won the bet.

But Kyselak could not stop. He started tagging buildings as soon as they were opened to the public. He was even asked by the police not to paint his name to a new Bridge over the Danube until the public opening ceremony was over. Kyselak agreed and waited one more week until his well known signature could be found painted on the bridge.

Kyselak can be seen as the father of modern-day tagging since he did not do anything but paint his name on a wall. He did not create pictures or symbols, his nickname was enough. As in modern-day graffiti viewers don't necessarily know what a tag means. It is just a name without an additional information. And that, indeed, makes Kyselak an ancestor to nowaday's street culture.

To make a long story short: Kyselak only became 31 years old. He obviously became fed up with this life and when the Cholera broke out in Vienna in 1831, Kyselak refused to leave the City. As it is a good way to get infected with Cholera bacteria he decided to eat loads and loads of unwashed plums and finally died of Cholera on September 17th, 1831. Eventually he did not only invent tagging, but also a weird new way to commit suicide.

Periodic Table


This table was created by Arik Levy, Maaike And Mike, One & Co., Monica Forster, Khodi Feiz and Derek Chena. It is a silver-coated table of reclaimed wood, the technique used in the application allowed various knots in the grain to show through the silver. The piece is, without a doubt, a showstopper. The table is simply beautiful.

SBTG x LAZY Paramount Dunk



The SBTG x Lazy Paramount Dunk is a 1 of 1 Custom collaboration, which turned out very impressive and will be used for the final model.

Using selvage denim was always mandatory for a customade sneaker and hunting a specific "gucci" selvage with black denim was like a dream come true.

Selvage is desirable because the edge can’t fray like lower grade denims that have separate wefts which leave an open edge that must be stitched. In this case, the selvage sits perfectly on the top of the midsoles like its supposed to be aesthetically. Seeing the denim fray on the midsole is simply blasphemous.

The beauty of it all is that an exposed selvage lining on the midsole can only be achieved through a D.I.Y. process due to the nature of the denim and the sneaker panel curves. It is a very tedious process.

Maintaining an understated look by leaving all the uppers black. leaving the focus on the midsole area which forms a perfect layer cake "green, red, green, off white, black stitching & lastly, gumsoles.

Lastly, a black snakeskin swoosh. The final model will also be coming with Starks Laces and of course with the input of Lazy. Expect it to be soon released at Royalefam.
