Your New Year’s resolutions are set, and you’re planning on eating less, getting in shape…blah blah blah. How about giving up eating Genetically modified foods? Here is how to spot a GMO (genetically modified organism) in the grocery store.  Check out the full article here on genetically modified organisms here but, what you need to know is this.

If the PLU (Price Look Up) is 5 digits and begins with an 8, then it is a Genetically Modified Organism

If the PLU is 4 digits (even if it begins with an then it is not a GMO

It’s clobberin’ time. Remember wondering where to get your Docs, Fred Perry gear, Merc suits, Vans, creepers, braces, football club scarves? Back in the day, 99X in NYC was the top shop to pick any of these up or even have them custom ordered. The staff knew their shit -  Hardcore, ska and punk (in that order) discoveries old and new, domestic and international, were always in rotation in the store. They’re closed as of now due to either the pressures of time or money. Maybe the wall of death of competition knocked them down on the dance floor: copycat stores on St. Mark’s, internet stores, malls, and local Fred Perry and Ben Sherman outposts could have killed the love. In the photo above, a worker can be seen scraping stickers off the wall. Looks like someone was smart enough to grab the store sign and flag. R.I.P.!

I have a feeling this is not real but it looks cool. I think his father who is a designer has a very patient child.

Check out this collection of extreme meals. There are days when your hungry and there are days when you’re nuts.  According to the article…..

“While American restaurants have often been called out for their sometimes gluttonous serving sizes, some are proud of their oversized portions—so proud, in fact, that a few food purveyors have made them into official eating challenges. Below find eight of the most outrageous dishes around—from 42-inch pizzas to 5 pounds of pancakes—that make our bellies bellow for, well, less.”Source

Internet years are like dog years, each one is equal to at least 5. Anyway, we just got a heads up and some words of praise from Design is Kinky. I can remember when I first heard of them and saw their site and work, it feels like decades ago. They have this event called Semi-Permanent, it is actually pretty permanent. Semi-Permanent has been around for 6 years, with 17 events in 6 cities throughout 4 countries with 109 speakers…. etc etc you get the point.  If you have never heard  of Design is Kinky or this event check it out and if your close by,  go to the event. Here is a bit of info.

“Semi-Permanent is a design event. It consists of a conference and side events which include exhibitions, competitions, workshops and parties. It’s a week long celebration of all things design. Graphic Design, Film, Art, Illustration, Web Design, Photography, Visual Effects, Animation, Graffiti, Motion Graphics, Stop Motion; all these things and more. Semi-Permanent explores the diverse and exciting design world bringing together exceptionally talented artists and designers to speak at the event.”

Great words from Keith Murray.  While he is not mentioned in this Salon interview with Tom Ammiano, he says what we have said all along, legalize weed and we’ll all make money.

Rapelay, a japanese game about raping women…..Ok. One website review describes

“tears glistening in the young girl’s eyes” as she is attacked in graphic detail.  Players begin the game by stalking a mother on a subway station before violently raping her. They then move on to attack her two daughters described as virgin schoolgirls.  Players are also allowed to enter ‘freeform mode’ where they can rape any woman and get other male game characters to join the attacks.  Pregnancy and abortion are listed as ‘key features’. One review said: “If she does become pregnant you’re supposed to force her to get an abortion, otherwise she gets more and more visibly pregnant each time you have sex.

I can see this skit on SNL, the pitch session for the game. How do you start the brainstorming… “ok, um I got a idea, go with it, here it goes, have you ever wanted to rape some one…. I got this idea for a game…” I dont’ think its going to look good on your resume.  There are a lot of articles about Amazon banning sales of the game. The strange thing the game came out in 2006. Why is it popular now? I think you can download it here. Reading the comments is strange.
