Zaha Hadid is one of the most celebrated architects in the modern world. She has designed deconstructivist masterpieces like … er … well there was that ski jump, and uh … wasn’t there a fire station in Germany somewhere?…
All right, well even though hardly anything she’s designed has actually been
built she’s still won plenty of awards for her pretty pictures including the field of architecture’s highest honor, the
Pritzker Prize.
Now she’s gone and designed this ugly red coffee table:
It’s shiny. It’s plastic. It’s bright, primary red. And it’s fucking tilted.
I’d hate to see the apartment where something like this would belong; in my nightmares I picture gleaming white walls covered in Keith Haring prints.
Maybe she should stick to paper. And ski jumps.

Some sicko on Instructables has posted a detailed guide on how to make your very own “Mouse Mouse.”
That’s right, it’s a mouse stuffed inside a mouse carcass.
“Mouse Mouse” … I get it.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah…
It’s nice to see the art of taxidermy keeping up with the modern age.

There are gamers and there is formal wear and never the twain shall meet.
…or shall they?
Is there really a market for this junk? The tawdry tie market can survive on science teachers alone, but when was the last time you saw a science teacher wearing a tuxedo? The only people who wear cufflinks are grooms, politicians, royalty and James Bond. Do you think any of them would wear a wii-mote on their cuff?
If I wasn’t at work, there would be a picture of James Bond wearing a guitar hero cufflink. Just pretend it’s here and laugh accordingly.

What do you get when you combine the utterly mystifying Japanese sense of humor with the frivolity of USB gadgets?
This piece of crap (no pun intended).
It’s sort of like a dancing Santa; only it somehow manages to be even more taste/useless. USB ports are meant for printers, mice, keyboards and data storage devices. Why anybody would occupy one of these precious slots with some worthless tchochke, I will never understand.

Just when my expectations for Microsoft’s ads couldn’t sink any lower…
This is the ad for their latest version of Visual Studio.
Let’s just ignore the maudlin, Kinkadean painting style for a moment and focus on trying to figure out the situation. I mean seriously … what the fuck is supposed to be going on in this ad? Since when do white nerds and Asian girls play basketball? Why are they dressed like Best Buy employees? How is that kid able to dunk? Did yellow-shirted Jeff Daniels launch him into the air?
And I’m still trying to decifer that mystifying tagline: “Good teams score. Fast teams score often and deploy early.” …what?! Has Microsoft hired the fucking Sphnix to write their copy? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Deploy? Is this an ad for the Army? No, because at least military ads make sense.
Oh, and there’s aliens. Jesus Christ, Microsoft.
