This Week in WTF, May 1, 2015

I’m noticing a trend here: I don’t do any posts in this series for a while, but I keep accumulating stories to include. When I finally get around to doing it, I have so much stuff that I can split it up into multiple posts. I should probably have more of an editorial schedule, if for no other reason than so I’m not lying to you when I say “this week” in the title of the post.

Anyway, here’s Sophie Turner (a/k/a Sansa Stark of Game of Thrones) kicking Steve-O in the nutsack. Happy Friday.

– Someone’s got some explainin’ to do: The artist resopnsible for the nightmate inducing bronze statue of Lucille Ball in her hometown of Celoron, New York has apologized for his role in creating something that, I am ashamed to say, made me think of the Family Guy bit with Edna Garrett’s cleavage: Continue reading

This Week in WTF, January 30, 2015

I have gotten very far behind on this particular blog series, so here is a quick roundup of what I meant to post over the past few months (part 1 of 3).

– Pumpkin Spice?: I really can’t add anything to this story:

Citing a satirical news report – which he appeared to take seriously – [Pastor James David Manning, of the ATLAH World Missionary Church in Harlem,] said: “Starbucks is a place where these types frequent and a lot of body fluids are exchanged there.

“The thing that I was not aware of is that… what Starbucks was doing, is they were taking specimens of male semen, and they were putting it in the blends of their lattes.

“It’s the absolute truth. They’re using male semen, and putting it into the blends of coffees that they sell.

“My suspicion is that they’re getting their semen from sodomites. Semen flavours up the coffee, and makes you thinks you’re having a good time.”

“Hmmm, do I detect a hint of……Jeff……in this latte?”

– Bling Your Baby: Have you been thinking that you wish your baby was a bit more crunk, but you’re (a) white, and (b) an idiot who doesn’t know what “crunk” means? Then you should try this gold grill pacifier: Continue reading

Public Art in Austin

Austin360 has an article up by Jeanne Claire van Ryzin on public art in Austin. I mention it in part because it is a good article, but mostly because my wife is quoted in it and I’m giddily proud of her for being awesome.

It covers several temporary public art exhibits I have gotten to see recently, and I hope you get to enjoy Austin’s public art, too.

This is from “Albedo,” by Mason Leland Moore and Joel Noland.
