Smh. Why?

via Rob Report Rich Blog

They have created an evil thing! Thanks to the evil folks over in Japan they have created the Artificial Virginity Hymen!A small package that women put in their vaginas to trick males into believing that they were virgins. Place inside and It will expand a little and make it feel tight. When the guy penetrates, it will ooze out a liquid that look like blood not too much, but just the right amount. Add in a few moans and groans, and you could pass undetected. $15.

"Barack Berry" Phone

There are also concerns that mobile devices such as BlackBerries, which contain built in GPS technology, could be hacked into, revealing the president's location within a few feet.

But according to reports Thursday, Obama could now be in line to receive a spy-proof alternative to his favorite toy.

Writing on his blog for the Atlantic magazine, Marc Ambinder reports that the National Security Agency has approved a $3,350 smartphone -- inevitably dubbed the "BarackBerry" -- for Obama's use.

The exclusive Sectera Edge, made by General Dynamics, is reportedly capable of encrypting top secret voice conversations and handling classified documents.

But Obama may have pushed his Secret Service handlers' technological patience far enough. Ambinder also reports that instant messaging in the White House will still be a definite no-no :(

Via Leaders 1354 Chicago

Whaddown...Oh you better believe I am going home today and these joints will be mine tomorrow. Originally released November 2008 as the blue lines; these are the limited (sound the trumpets) Red lines. Yay! Yea I know right. They’ll be releasing this Saturday; 1/24,/09 at Leaders brand new downtown location (672 N.Wells) and online. Size 8-15 will be available. The last pair released were available for about $150 so you can expect to pay around the same amount for these; if not more...who knows. The “Leaders1354 Jam” is made up of metallic silver, 3M, perforated suede, crackled leather, patent leather, premium leather, ostrich, and croc’d leather. The sole inspiration was from CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) train system map and the actual train. Chicago operates around the red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, brown, and pink line trains so they’re all represented by the speckles. The red and blue line trains the cities major lines and both run close to both store locations (hence the two colorways). The transparent blue tinted out sole represents Lake Michigan with the Chicago Transit map visible through it. I myself am a patron of South Chicago and a known citizen of the main line but I always find myself at Leaders somehow...If your gonna order online...wake up early...Awwwwwt!

Also just released...New Fashion Geek...What up Zoe!

More Transparent, "How Is That even Possible?" devices

OK , I thought MP3s were the end all music devices because of their practicality. Welp, I was wrong. Technology is becoming more and more amazing. Check out this transparent music device that slaps on your wrist. the music player is compatible with your mobile phone and changes colors. it also has a built in microphone hat helps locate and play a song on your playlist, once you hum the tune into it. Just wow.

Ok, First of all, I'm fucking ROLLING.

This is HIGH-LARIOUS.

Ok, So it seems that everybody is trying to make some bread by exploiting Obama's historical moment (Somebody told me that they saw "Obama Water"). This is pure comedy.

Hilarity ensues now:

WTF?!?

Enh, I'm not a huge SB head, But I like this.

It's dope and functional. It incorporates MOLLE (MOdular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) technology used by the United States Armed Forces, As well as the always-classic, sometimes ran into the ground cement print.

Basically a big-ass version of the backpack they released not too long ago.

The duffle is deso as hell tho. I fucks wit it.

It seems as if the technology that we've seen in science-fiction movies throughout the years is slowly but surely becoming a reality.

I can't even fathom how this is even possible, But maybe some of you will be able to wrap your brain around it.

Riding In The Car & This Came On..

2009-01-22T17:22:00.008-06:00

...caused me to automatically think that I was the shit. lol. I relate every female mafia anthem to myself because I like to daydream. I'd be sooo sexy sitting pretty in a Cayenne Porsche Turbo, Coach duffle in the passenger's seat filled with drugs and cash to drop off to my connect, with a machete gun in my hand, and a cuban cigar in the other. Oh and I can't forget the Fedora , black Christian Loubitin pumps, and red fitted Carmen Sandiego-esque peacoat. lmaooo, haha. I'm such a bad girl. Therefore, ofcourse I had to come home and find it on Youtube so I can go home and fantasize somemore....and WTH happened to Total anyways? They we're on in 96! And wow, Lil Kim looks NOTHING like that anymore.lol.... she's gotten SO much plastic surgery over the years!

Florence and The Machine!

2009-01-22T16:58:00.005-06:00

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm totally into this type of music. I was on to people like M.I.A.,Uffie, and Adele wayyyy before other people in the states, because I seek these unique sounds. People never give me my credit. But more often than not, a few weeks after I'm on to a band , I'll start seeing them pop up on American music blogs, or I'll hear DJs hitting their tracks. And within a month or two, they're on SNL or Letterman or whatever, and voilá, history.

So, back to this episode above. Russell introduces me to Florence Welch, the voice behind Florence and the Machine, and I in turn am introducing YOU to her:). Their Myspace profile describes their work as " Grindcore / Acousmatic / Tape music / Melodramatic Popular Song," and you can get a taste by listening to tracks here, or watching both of the music videos embedded below (more on their YouTube channel here). I really dig the psychedelic-emo-crazy-art vibe.

The band's Wikipedia page explains that "[their] music has received praise across the British music media, especially from the BBC who have played a large part in Florence And The Machine's rise to prominence by bringing them into the spotlight as part of BBC introducing." They've been playing high on the headline list at some of the more prominent music festivals in the UK, and that's where our Russell caught up with them for today's conversation. We also get an impromptu, back-of-the-trailer performance from Florence in this episode, between sets at Standon Calling.

Check out this video...I've watched it at least 6 times within the last hour.
