INSTANT CLASSIC: BANKSY ROLLER ZORRO BRONZE SCULPTURE

Banksy puts his street art spin on the classic Zorro image. Who knew Zorro was such a painting badass? The Roller Zorro bronze statue of undetermined size is from an edition of 12, released this year.

Update (6/19/2012): All signs are pointing to one word on this one: FAKE! Should have been more suspect when the details on this statue were pretty scant.  Proof that this doesn't exist is evidenced by the behind photo added to 'BackerProjects' flckr page earlier today. And yes, we wish this was real, too.

TRIUMPH THE INSULT COMIC DOG DESTROYS THE WIENER CIRCLE

Conan unleashed Triumph The Insult Comic Dog onto Chicago's Wiener Circle last night. The little bastard has still got it. Living in Chicago, the Wiener's Circle has a special place in my heart and the insults Triumph drops onto these loudmouths are what us mere humans can only dream of replicating.

PROMETHEUS CUT PAPER TRAILER

A palm d'or or whatever it's called goes to Youtuber TheReceptionist, who recreated the Prometheus trailer shot for shot by way of cut paper stop animation. Fucking brilliant. Enjoy the movie this Friday.

DISMANTLING BANKSY

A new Banksy piece for the Jubilee appeared in London yesterday depicting a child laborer sewing British flag bunting. It was coyly placed on Poundland (UK's version of the Dollar store). As you'll see below, the insidious aftermath that took place isn't surprising but demonstrates that no Banksy street piece is sacred—and that people will do whatever it takes to get a piece of the elusive street artist.

Classic Banksy craftsmanship. Look how hard this child is working to get the UK ready for the Jubilee.

 Bunting barons begin to descend on Poundland.

More bunting thieves. Tossers.

Phew, some bunting remains in tact.

Ah, but not for long. All that's left is a lonely child and his sewing machine. End Day 1 of new Banksy Street art.

SITTING ON A FULLY LOADED SHOTGUN SHELL CHAIR

Nothing about a fully loaded shotgun shell chair sounds safe. But if you're in the market, Rehhab has brought the vision of a fully functioning chair made from 388 live 12 gauge shotgun shells.  Hey, at the very least, you'll be fully stocked for the Zombie Apocalypse. via Design You Trust

KATE UPTON: TOO HOT FOR YOUTUBE?

Every guy's love for Sports Illustrated cover girl Kate Upton was on full display today. Youtube apparently couldn't handle the heat.

Luckily, there's Vevo. And Thankfully, Kate Upton is still doing the Cat Daddy in her very beautiful bikini. God bless America and Terry vision. via Terry's Diary
