The internet: fulfilling your niche visual jokes, one blog at a time

It’s a blog. Called LAZERTITS. What more do you want from me?

“For centuries the female bosom has been wrongfully held in the prison of maternal duty and manboy motor-boating. The time has come to blow the cell doors open for breasts! Howl for hooters! Get toasted by tits! Behold the blazing boobs! It’s time to get ZAPPED!!!! LAZERTITS looks into the past and changes the future one broad at a time. What will YOU say when your kids ask where you were during the revolution? Don’t burn your bra, BLAST IT!!!”

It’s making you depressed that lazertits don’t exist in real life, isn’t it? Me too, buddy. Me too.

Olafur Eliasson makes me shit my pants full of rainbows

Are you in Kanazawa, Japan right now? If the answer is yes, then a) I’m super jealous b) you can still catch Olafur Eliasson’s show “Your Chance Encounter” at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art of Kanazawa until March 22.

I have a rocky relationship with Olafur, personally; one minute I’m hating on his stupid waterfalls,  the next I’m getting all weepy and transcendent at his warm glowy womb room at the MoMA. His work is so good when it dematerializes and then reappears all up in your personal space. It’s also often terribly beautiful. There’s no doubt in my mind that when this sucker is on, he is ON.

I can’t say I’ve seen any of this work in person so I can’t help you out by explaining how it works, so instead just ENJOY. And maybe gnaw your fingernails in jealousy. Because, giant rainbow light rooms? Rhombic kaleidoscopes? Come on!

I don’t mean to get all NSFW on you but this paperclip holder is pretty hilarious.  Kind of subtle, right?  Until you figure out what it is.  You’ll have to decide for yourselves if this violates your office’s sexual harassment policy.

Venus’ Clips, by Barcelona-based designer Marc Graells.  According to the designer, the holder can be arranged as “more or less leafy according to anyone’s taste.”
