The Lunar Crystal t shirt
The scientists explored the surface of our moon until they stood facing the foreboding presence of The Lunar Crystal. The two men stood in awe of the crystal’s existence. They stared without tact; oblivious to the inquisitive voices on the other end of their earpieces.
An attempt at picking up the crystal seemed insulting to what resembled a divine being worthy of idol-worship. The first man removed his gloves, unaffected by the Moon’s elements, and reached for the crystal. The skin of his fingertips made contact with the light emanating from the Crystal. He felt as if he had received a gift for his blind bravery. A fundamental lesson of life was bestowed upon him.

New Banksy artwork angers the Catholic Church
Banksy has struck again, this time offending the Catholic Church with a bold artwork that critiques their stance on ongoing child abuse scandals. Banksy has taken a replica of a bust of an eighteenth century member of the Catholic hierarchy and added multi-coloured tiles to the face — pixelating it — as a comment on what he considers to be the Church’s cover-up. ‘I’m never sure who deserves to be put on a pedestal or crushed under one’, Banksy noted. And who are we to disagree? Read more
Tattoo artist sued by ex-girlfriend for obscene design
Oh boy, this is so bizarre it could only be true. Apparently a Dayton, Ohio, tattoo artist has been slapped with a $100,000 lawsuit by his ex-girlfriend for tattooing an image of, erm, excrement with flies on her back rather than the scene from Narnia that she had requested. The reason? He’d recently found out that she had been cheating on him with one of his buddies. Damn! And here we were thinking this was the hot new look for trailer park trash crowd.

Sick tee! Reminds me of those crystals that we used to make when we were kids….you’d leave a bit of string hanging in a super saturated solution containing dissolved sugar in water, and end up with some crazy crystal formations after a few days. Oh the memories…might have to go find myself one of these tees to relive the past!
