Will you be visiting Stockholm in the near future? If so, be amongst the first to pick up a pair of Noko Jeans, manufactured in the anti-social country, North Korea, and marketed in Sweden. 1100 pairs of these novelty jeans were made for girls and boys to wear around the world — except, of course, in North Korea, where the State dress code strictly forbids them being worn.

Justin Bieber’s U Smile at 800 percent slower
Random piece of pop trivia: if you slow Justin Bieber’s horrendous tweeny anthem U Smile down to an eight-hundredth of its original speed, it sounds eerily like an outtake from an Orb recording session. Ambient music has never been so … err … hip. Don’t believe us? Have a listen here.
