Finally, some goodnews from the Israeli warfront. It seems that breast implants aren’t just flotation devices, they’re also rocket-proof vests.

BREAST IMPLANTS ARE SAVING LIVES!
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE! > STRAIGHT LACED
Saturday, August 12th, 2006Consider this late night drop to be a PSA of sorts to all the sneakerheads that fall thru this spot. Niketown will have free booklets from time to time featuring the new programs that the brand is ushering in. Way back in the beginning of the year when NIKE was gearing up for the ‘Joga Bonito’ line of footwear and apparel they issued a booklet that described some of soccer’s most famed teams and oval pitches where the game’s history resides.
Being the junk junkie that I am I decided to keep a few booklets for myself. Not really knowing what I would use them for, but understanding that I would eventually find a place for them. The booklets are typical NIKE produced items in that they are slickly done collector’s items in their own right. One of the vintage soccer teams described in the book was the 1930’s New York Americans. They are the forefathers to the swanky New York Cosmos teams of the mid-1970’s. The NY Americans were internationally regarded as one of the best teams in the game.
This set features a a pair of Air Max 1 Premium, as well as one New York Americans tee along with a ‘Joga Bonito’ booklet and a pack of stickers. This will be one of my sets that I take on tour with me to show the effects of NIKE brand product synergy. Pray for me.
KAIJU IS THAT CRACK
Saturday, August 12th, 2006If you effs with this site on the regulack then you heard me mention the Kaiju Big Battel a few weeks ago. Kaiju Big Battel is a mash up of Japanese Anime and WWE wrestling while wearing Godzilla monster or sports mascot costumes. It’s funny as all get out because of how they ape the ‘professional’ wrestling subplots and fighting styles. My ladybug knows the type of shit that sits in the center of my wheelhouse and when she told me to leave my Friday night open I got all excited.
Kaiju Big Battel was definitely created by someone who has dropped some mean peyote. Kaiju is the Japanese word for monster. Godzilla and all the various nemesis characters he fought would be kaiju. These kaiju that I saw wear similiar rubber and foam costumes just better. The character costumes are colorful and trippy and they even have pyschedelic names like Dust-Ed Bunny and Mega Shrooma. The characters revolve around a virtual universe that is controlled by an evil scientist called Dr.Cube. Think of him as an evil VINCE McMAHON. Dr.Cube’s minions fight against the good guys for control of the city. Just like in the Godzilla movies, the city ends up being trashed to pieces as the combatants body slam each other and crash through the arena with reckless abandon.
Kaiju Big Battel is so ready for prime time as a concept. They just need some tighter scripting to really translate their project to the masses. There was a wacky Japanese speed metal band that opens for the battle. Those fools rocked even though you really can’t tell what they are saying. As a fringe event that you can get zooted at with your buds it’s still a winner, but if they were to polish the edges a bit this project could be sold to the kids in the suburbs. Licensing toy deals for the characters along with children’s clothing to match their favorite character would take the projects earning potential to the top. Listen to me, I sound like CLYDE SMITH. Enjoy some of the pics from the evening. Go see the Kaiju Big Battel when it comes to your town.
