One of the truly and only inspiring aspects of the sadness that has ravaged Japan has been the respect with which the Japanese have treated each other and their society on a whole. No looting has taken place; no chaos has broken out amidst the chaos. The country is in a shambles, but their dignity remains firmly intact.
That can all be expected to change once 100,000 pairs of eye-vomit inducing moron clogs hit the Shibuya.
In their press release incredulously promoting this apparent hate crime as an act of decency, Crocs Inc. also touts their humanitarian shoe-aide in the aftermath of the Haitian earth quake. The only inference we can make from such a bald faced display of animosity towards the Haitians and now the Japanese is that Crocs Inc. holds a deep seeded racist disgust for both nations, and is publicly rooting for their demise.
These donuts are honestly out of this world…and dangerously close to my abode!!
DOUGH Donuts: A Far Cry From The Old Fashioned
“If you’re happy, the donuts are happy…” says Fany Gerson, the 2011 James Beard nominated cookbook author and donut mastermind behind DOUGH, an innovative, never-a-few-hours-old artisan donut shop in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. We think these donuts look absolutely delicious!
Dough
305 Franklin Avenue, Clinton Hill
One of the best things about Dough is going across the street to the projects and eating the best donut ever on the picnic benches there. The neighborhood has changed SO MUCH in the last year or so. It’s crazy.
Anyways, go here.

I’ve been writing a bit for my friend Darren’s website Snipe in London, which sometimes means I have to pretend to be Londony, which is weird! But fun. I wrote this thing today. And also this thing on Liz Taylor. Read them?

HOT OFF THE PRESS: Just finished this poster for the Olio Festival and Music Waste Showcase at SXSW 2011! And what an evening it is! My!Gay!Husband!, No Gold, Babe Rainbow, Basketball, Teen Daze, Poirier and Bonjay will all be making appearances. Sounds like it’s going to be a pretty kick-ass evening of music. If you’re hitting up SXSW this year, I highly recommend you check this out!
I love this poster.
What Dustin said.
Amazing poster! Although… I have to wonder if Stewart would dig it.

But the case turns out to be tricky. Bethany had been drunk at a party. She passed out and woke up to Chuck raping her. She reported it to the university and they brought Chuck in front of a university disciplinary committee. He got community service and a blemish on his record. ADA Sonya Paxton returns to do some probation with SVU in order to regain her position within the DA’s office. The lack of conclusive evidence means she orders them to cut Chuck loose.
…
Carla’s desperately in love with Chuck. She also seems willfully blind to any and all of Chuck’s faults, which drives me nuts about female characters. The night before she miscarried, he put something on his penis before having sex with her. The detectives are convinced that this chemical caused the miscarriage and when they arrest Chuck and get the chemical, Carla turns on Chuck. The chemical (misoprostal) which Chuck used is ulcer medication, but it’s also being used as an abortive chemical. Chuck claims he uses it as a stimulant when drunk, like viagara.
What can I say? I have a rapey name.
Follow Up of the Day: Yesterday, the Rev. Al Sharpton claimed that he had persuaded Lamar Advertising to remove the controversial billboard belonging to anti-abortion group Life Always from the SoHo street corner, where it was to remain for the next three weeks. Well, last night the sign did indeed come down.
In its statement concerning the billboard’s removal, Lamar Advertising cited safety concerns due to harassment allegedly taking place in the building’s ground-floor restaurant, Lupe’s. “Yesterday, somebody came into the restaurant harassing the waiters and waitresses,” Lamar Advertising GM Peter Costanza said in a phone interview with NYT’s City Room. “I don’t want any violence to happen around the buildings there.”
Tear that shit down and BURN IT.
Every now and then, sanity prevails. More of this please!
