GIRL ON HORSE (REMIX)

Friday rides on. Found this amazing picture of a triumphant toddler on toy horse. Your job —as one Jesse Bulger has already done in picture two— is to make this toddler even more badass using your Photoshop wizardry. Enjoy the Friday.

CHEATING IN 2010

When I was in High School, cheating on tests left you with such options as using your TI-81 calculators, or, my favorite, carefully situating yourself in view of the smartest kid's answer sheet. Today's technokids have it made, as witnessed by this Coke bottle cheat sheet. Looks like the real thing but with sneaky typographic modifications. Who here has pulled this one off, or would like to?  Learn how to make yours step-by-step below. Via: Gizmodo

SUPERMODELS WITHOUT MAKEUP

Funny thing, models look pretty damn good with out any makeup on. Ok, not all of them. Picture features the likes of Bar Refaeli, Adriana Lima and 5 women hiding behind designer sunglasses (rough night?). via: Design You Can Trust

"THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT" - BY SHEPARD FAIREY

Shepard Fairey in action on April 23th pasting up his famed design work at the corner of 6th & Reed in Philadelphia, PA. As you can see, pasting isn't a one man job, and it definitely isn't a run and gun affair either. But when you're pasting on a place called 'Awesome Dudes Printing,' I'm pretty sure Shepard isn't gonna run into any problems. via: Wooster Collective

YOU GOT SEIZED: APPLE GOES GANGSTER

Gizmodo writer, Jason Chen, had his home searched and laptops and harddrives seized via warrant the other day. A little over the top are we, Mr. Jobs? I know your products are awesome, I'm typing on one of them, but I still think this is a publicity stunt to build up free press and buzz. It's definitely not hurting future sales, that's for sure. AAPL stock is riding an all time high and is up 3% today alone. That's a pretty good return on protecting your investments. If only wise fools like myself were smart enough to invest say, 6 years ago, when the iPod was just getting hot.

WHITE WOMEN CAN'T DUNK

Give them props for effort. They've obviously been planning this one out during practice. I just wonder if the one during practice had the desired outcome this one epically doesn't. via: FOD

OVERDRAMATIC INTERVENTION

When I'm feeling bad about myself, I watch Intervention. It's the ultimate pick me up. There's nothing worse than walking in to a firing a squad comprised of the people closest to you. However, it also makes for the most dramatic core of the show. For this family, it also led to quite a few laughs. Man, when you're this far gone, rock bottom sure looks like a far off place. Enjoy your Thursday, drink your Crackade. Everything is going to be alright. Oh, for the Auto-tuned version, check the second video :)

And lastly, my personal favorite, Auto-tune hip hop remix. Great edit.

M.I.A UNLEASHES A SAVAGE MESSAGE IN BORN FREE

M.I.A.: Born Free
Directed by Romain Gavras

An explosive wasteland of a picture depicting an American society devoid of morality. I'm not sure what to think of this... Blending the artist's music into a short film surely has been done by many musicians, but M.I.A. may have gone a tad too far with this politically charged, and no doubt, amazingly shot video from director Romain Gavras. I won't say anything more except this is NSFW. Contains graphic violence, nudity and lawfully permitted use of narcotics. Let the short film roll.

TOUR PROHIBITION ERA NEW YORK CITY

New York Magazine has put together this insightful map to take you on your own self-guided tour through prohibition era speak-easy bars. There was a time when getting drunk was tough... like scoring narcotics, tough. So, to those fine proprietors of moonshine and underground liquor dwellings, this Bud's for you. Thanks for keeping the dream alive and the keg tapped.

WHAT MONDAYS FEEL LIKE

Sometimes, Google image search just pulls up the sentiment you were looking for. Not only does this baby look confused and petrified, this family went the extra step of putting an Alien Chestburster splattering out of what looks like a baby chicken costume. This has to take the cake for most ridiculous, yet most awesome baby Halloween costume. Parents of the year fail?

Juicy Fruit is back to its irreverent self these days with the amazing serenading unicorn. Choose from three classics, 'On Bended Knee,' 'Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,' or 'How Am I Supposed to Live Without You.' Then watch as this unicorn serenades the shit out of whomever you so desire. Tell that special someone how you feel! www.serenadingunicorn.com

DEFINE DAMIEN HIRST

Damien Hirst is the art world's renaissance man. In his years, he has brought us some of the most irreverent modern art. From the shark to the dots to the diamond encrusted skull, the man finds art in the most surreal of places. And this year, he's stepping back and bringing his art to a whole different level. One that defines the greatness and simplicity art can achieve. Would this be appealing if it was from some nobody? Perhaps, but unlikely. Either way, it makes a nice autograph. And hell, it's free. Well done, Mr. Hirst. To the 365 lucky souls who will be the recipients of his daily art project, cheers.

MGMT CHANNELS THEIR INNER PSYCHADELIC BRIAN WILSON

Forget what you want to hear from MGMT. If Beck did another 'Loser,' would we have Odelay? In a common case of give them what they want, MGMT's sophomore effort, Congratulations, was conceived under ridiculous pressure to repeat the club grooves people were busting out in all sorts of settings... Graduations, retirements, bar mitzvahs, procreation.
You can hear that pressure under drug induced melodies that are reminiscent of the experimental albums that were considered departures for such bands as The Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, etc.
Bottom line, this album will grow on you like poison ivy. It will haunt you and calm you. Here's my favorite track so far, 'I Found a Whistle.'

ONE SMALL HOLE FOR PILLOW, ONE GIANT SLEEP FOR MANKIND

The pillow: fluffy, firm, memory foam, space age particles. Forget all of that. This brilliant upgrade solves the one conundrum every sleeper has had since its invention, where to put that damn arm. I love sleeping on my arm. Sometimes I don't even use a pillow. Now I won't have to worry about muscle cramps and dislocated shoulders. It also makes a great 'hiding place.'

SPIKE JONZE + LCD SOUNDSYSTEM = CRAZED BLISS

Another whacked out gem from music video savant, Spike Jonze. Off LCD Soundsystem's forthcoming album, This Is Happening, we are blessed with 'Drunk Girls.' This shoot must have been truly epic, perfectly capturing the mood and drunken disorder through a chaotic orgy of visual stimulation.

YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS

But of course.

FAT FOOD

Fast food eaters beware, this is why you're fat. Using KFC's absurd Double Down as a unit of measure, this infographic shows that maybe the Double Down isn't as shocking as we'd like to believe. Wendy's takes the cake with it's artery clogging Triple Baconator (which, if I'm not mistaken, is loaded with 12 strips of bacon, 3 squares of cheese, and lathered with mayonnaise). In fact, the fat alone bests the combined total for a Double Down. I've had the single, and even that gives me meat sweats. But man, is that flame broiled deliciousness worth the gluttony.

OCTO PIRATE

When an Octopus sneak attacks a scuba diver, this eight legged sea monster snatches the camera and shoots his own under sea adventure. The play-by-play of the diver's ensuing chase to retrieve his camera is priceless, hilarious and intense.

EARL & TIGER: MASTERS IN DISGUISE

Nike is breaking an ad tonight that will get sports fans talking. Nike has the uncanny ability of invoking a level of talk value most brands never come close to achieving. For reference, look at pretty much any ad they've ever done. Armstrong, Jordan, L.T., Lebron, Kobe, etc. This time, however, it seems we'll be talking about what isn't said than what is said. Do we smell a sequel, or just a long drive towards redemption? R.I.P. Earl Woods
