The last few Halloween editor’s letters have tackled topics like the very real time I experimented with cannibalism, the very real time I waterboarded my friends for a laugh and the very real time I was getting disturbing prank calls from a psychopathic killer (turned out the calls were coming from inside my house). To […]

Neck Face, one of my fav artists, just had a show open on Halloween in Los Angeles. It was a combination art show, haunted house and skateboard demo put on by the always interesting OHWOW Gallery. A lot of people dismiss Neck Face as “crude” and/or “juvenile.” That’s actually the best thing about his art. […]

Learn all the Japanese you need to know before visiting Japan after the jump.

You can’t smoke in public in Tokyo but they do have little smoking stations in most areas where you can have one (naturally, you can smoke in pretty much every restaurant). To remind you not to walk and smoke or throw a butt on the ground, there are these great little ads that shame you […]

Die Antwoord is a South African rave-rap group consisting of Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er, and DJ Hi-Tek. Their music has the ethnic flavour of M.I.A., the offensive lyrical flow of Eminem, and the eurodance charm […]
