Average Faces From Around The World
Some dude took thousands upon thousands of images of everyday people from various countries then used some software to layer them over the top of each other to produce an 'average' look of each nation. The results are pretty, pretty, pretty, good amazing.
Arty Bullshit Generator
This is what it gave me:
My work explores the relationship between emerging sexualities and urban spaces.
With influences as diverse as Blake and Francis Bacon, new synergies are generated from both simple and complex meanings.
Ever since I was a teenager I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of relationships. What starts out as hope soon becomes corrupted into a dialectic of temptation, leaving only a sense of decadence and the inevitability of a new synthesis.
As shifting forms become frozen through boundaried and personal practice, the viewer is left with an impression of the possibilities of our era.

Muslim Norway Bombing
"Today the paper say Timothy McVeigh's in hell
So everything's okay and all must be well
I remember Oklahoma when they put out the blaze
And put Islamic terrorist bombing, on the front page"
- Talib Kweli, The Proud
Below is a related video documenting the way Arabs have been vilified in Hollywood films throughout the years. Reel Bad Arabs.

Fuck The Bomb, Just Tell Us How Much You Can Bench Bro.
White kiwi with a bone carving uses his 4 minutes of fame to explain to people how much he can lift. Naturally he finishes his set after the bomb goes off.
To quote Kanye West - "I think it's time for us to have a toast"
Scott Cann Rap
Years before Scott Caan would become the pompous character Scott Lavin on Entourage and playing Danno on Hawai’i 5-0, he was a rapper affiliated with Cypress Hill. Yep. He called himself Mad Skillz. Yep. And even buzzier, he rapped with fellow emcee Mudfoot, who years later would come to be known to us as Alchemist. Together they were known as The Whooliganz, and were pretty much the white Kris Kross of their time (listen for the Kris Kross subliminal in the opening of Hit The Deck). The Whooliganz run was in the early 90s, when Cypress and Soul Assassins were at their peak. Although they never officially put out a full length LP, they did drop some singles that were pretty big in the underground scene. See below.

She Walks Away, The Sun Goes Down...
RIP Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011)
In my mind Amy Winehouse's Back To Black album was the last perfect/classic album to be released, and that was back in 2006! The six years which followed saw her in and out of rehab, flashing the paparazzi and butchering her songs on stage. Very, very sad. To quote Robert De Niro in The Bronx Tale, "the saddest thing in life is wasted talent."
On a side note, how dope would this have been: ?uestlove and Amy Winehouse group

On The Earn
The above video clip features a paralyzed rapper, a dad throwing up a failed westside/gang sign, flat asses, tokens, a laundry basket filled with cheap champagne, a Jonathan Davis Korn feature and the best part is there's the possibility there will be a follow-up.
PS - That's so gangsta at 2.46.
PPS - Dedication in the video write-up to all the Thug Krackaz out there. This one was for you.
