NUKE THEM ALL with pills?!

Found this on deera-chat.com :

Kuwait Purchases Nearly 6 Million Doses of Emergency Nuclear Radiation Drugs

Nukepills.com today announced the sale of 180,000 units (5.4 million doses) of ThyroShield(TM) Potassium Iodide to the Kuwait Ministry of Health. Worth approximately $1.4 million, the sale was brokered by Nukepills.com and signifies Kuwait’s proactive course in protecting its citizens during a nuclear radiation emergency.

I've been saying this for years ever since I went camping in Kuwait's Desert nearly 7 years ago now! During the 1990-1991 Gulf War, a lot of people who lived close to the borders, (Jahra and Fahaheel especially) died of radiation poisoning and cancer.

I hate sketchbooks


Alright, I didn't exactly stray away from paper, but I think plates are the way to go. Most of my sketches are now on paper plates.

GET SOME NUTS


I have personally wanted to do this at most footie matches I've been to.

Pretty Special


Park rangers are "very excited"

Completely out of context. Couldn't Help it.

The Opposite of Lamp



Genius marketing ploy. These guys sent Perez Hilton a valentine's day card via youtube with links to their Portfolio. Perez gets a total of 7 million users clicking on his site daily. Great exposure at no cost. As for the video.. well it's a video! I like their Lamps.

Celebrating Squirters


Screw dragon dancers and fireworks. A performer squirts milk through his eyes, by blowing hard against a blocked nose, during a performance to celebrate Chinese New Year at a park in Beijing.

Calling all Abusive Objectiphilian's


This is for you. Panasonic has launched it's no nonsense Toughbook laptops that you can now torch, drop and immerse in water, flames, pubes and still be fully functional.
Virals to follow!

"I wish I had Ten Terry Tates"



An American Football Linebacker who "gives out the pain" to those in the office who are not obeying office policies. Seriously funny old school virals. Apparently so viral people didn't even know it was in association with Reebok, but not any less superb. WOOWOOO!

Latin Mottos Part 1



Izzie submitted this cute lil motto : If all else fails, Play Dead.

WTF - in a good way


So I started this morning with that note taking up half of my screen. After my initial anger subsided, I realized that we had Hot Chip playing in the background. Seriously it's just a student video nothing to be bothered by ... unless you want the same team to work on your next video :D Hello! I'm Inji *paws screen*

HAH!


Genius.

Alcatraz to Croatia



Meet Lars Erik Bratveit. By day a super-hero I.T vigilante that whips coaxial cables into shape (wow you so know I don't know a thing about computers etc) and by night and in his spare time he traverses the planet and does a lot of photography. Check out his website here.

UBTIS! OI!



So in lieu of hanging out and networking, Tree Forest came across this super flyer promoting Gym Box. What really got me was the Esctasy pills with G & B's on the front and the fab colour system that highlight the classes where you can improve on your Chav Fighting, Boob aerobics and Bitch Boxing.

Post Secret



Once in a while, I reintroduce Post Secret. It's a blog where people send in their secrets anonymously via postcard. Some of them are brilliant, soul baring and oh-so-delicious.

Brand Spanking Blue!


Okay guys, meet Norwegian graphic/web designer Kristine Taugbol. Shes pretty experimental with her identity work which I feel is more of what we should see in the future. I am bored to death of clinical logos but hey we've all been guilty of a few. ;) This one time at Band Camp...

Celebrity Sell-Out Part 1


I had a working weekend down south in Epsom. I got on the train today to see THAT.

Why Iggy? WHY !!! You put my High School nick-name to shame! This is how NOT to sponsor a product...


Whilst the Spelling Bee (I seriously can not believe I am saying this) kicked Iggy Pop's Swiftcover ad.

When I'm ready... I'll put the Swiftcover TVC.

Striped Swimtrunked Sweety



These are a few of Leah Tinari's painted gems. Her inspiration comes from photographs that have been discarded.

There is a beauty in all things that have been left behind. Even if you don't think so.

Southbank Art

Every couple of months the Graffiti on the Southbank changes. I wonder if one could just stroll along, doodle with some cans without getting arrested. Hmm.
