via Pigs Serve Unicorns a C&D Letter

We'd like to publicly apologize to the NPB for the confusion over unicorn and pork—and for their awkward extended pause on the phone after we had explained our unicorn meat doesn't actually exist. From our press release:

"It was never our intention to cause a national crisis and misguide American citizens regarding the differences between the pig and the unicorn," said Scott Kauffman, President and CEO of Geeknet. "In fact, ThinkGeek's canned unicorn meat is sparkly, a bit red, and not approved by… ]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:35:00 -0700 http://machinemachine.net/stream/items/view/1395/via-pigs-serve-unicorns-a-cdletter via Michael Jackson memorabilia: This Is It exhibition at the O2 Bubble in Lo... http://machinemachine.net/stream/items/view/1393/via-michael-jackson-memorabilia-this-is-it-exhibition-at-the-o2-bubble-in-lo

For this year's list, we walked right past the usual suspects and went looking for trouble. We wanted radicals, heretics, agitators—big thinkers with controversial, game-changing propositions. We found a prison reformer who wants to empty jails, an economist who thinks foreign aid hurts more than it helps, and a military theorist who believes the US should launch preemptive cyberattacks, right now. Then there's secretary of defense robert gates, who wants to win wars, not just prep for them. Risky? Sure. But this is no time to play it safe. ]]> Sun, 06 Jun 2010 03:54:00 -0700 http://machinemachine.net/stream/items/view/1351/the-smart-list-12-shocking-ideas-that-could-change-the-world My Famicase Exhibition 2010 http://machinemachine.net/stream/items/view/1244/my-famicase-exhibition-2010 With its latest entries having just appeared online, the Famicase exhibition -- curated by Tokyo game culture shop Meteor -- once again proves why it's a yearly art/game highlight. The premise? A collective of Japanese designers and artists imagine cartridges for their favorite Famicom (8-bit Nintendo) games that never were.

While this year's crop has strayed away from anything as blatantly/lightly controversial as last year's Bush Jr cart, it takes no less a sardonic swipe at Western culture with Burp'n'Shoot! above. The game, the artists say, is a "fun lazy redneck experience" that involves "sitting on the… ]]>

Jesus Is A Dick http://machinemachine.net/stream/items/view/1176/jesus-is-a-dick This sort of acting out is typical behavior from somebody whose parents didn't give them enough attention growing up. ]]> Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:35:00 -0700 http://machinemachine.net/stream/items/view/1176/jesus-is-a-dick Time Traveler Caught in Museum Photo? | forgetomori http://machinemachine.net/stream/items/view/1155/time-traveler-caught-in-museum-photo-forgetomori It’s the short description for the photograph shown at the virtual Bralorne Pioneer Museum, from British Columbia, Canada. The image can be seen specifically on this page (scroll down to the middle), among other items of the online exhibit. Did you notice anything out of place? Or perhaps, out of time? The man with what appears to be very modern sunglasses seems to be wearing a stamped T-shirt with a nice sweater, all the while holding a portable compact camera! ]]> Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:40:00 -0700 http://machinemachine.net/stream/items/view/1155/time-traveler-caught-in-museum-photo-forgetomori 'It's time to let you hear the song which earned me a juvenile restraining order' http://machinemachine.net/stream/items/view/1146/its-time-to-let-you-hear-the-song-which-earned-me-a-juvenile-restraining-order Aged 17, I set about writing a song for a girl I was obsessed with. When she heard it, she called the police. Have a listen – you'll understand why.

I've never let anyone hear this song before. I'm deeply humiliated and embarrassed at the thought of anyone hearing it. This is probably the most intense and personal song I've ever recorded – it's called My Destiny and it was written and recorded when I was 17. I shouldn't do this.

I was in high school in the 1990s, in a town called… ]]>

Seen in my local pub at Christmas. Poltical correctness or just insanity?

Sleep Talkin' Man http://machinemachine.net/stream/items/view/932/sleep-talkin-man My mild-mannered English husband Adam lives quite a colorful existence in his dreams.
