2 Gingers 1 Bread or Gingerbread Kama Sutra
A recipe site called Porn Bread has cooking recipe's for making things like Penis Pretzels, Viagra cupcakes, and Gingerbread Kama Sutra cookies. I don't know if this is Safe For Work or not...I guess it depends where you're employed. Finally, the internet has the ultimate resource for sexy baking!
The penis's of course are recommended that they are served with mustard, while the Double D Boob Buns are topped off with a nipple of Cinnamon Sugar. My girlfriend made me a pair of Penis Cakes for my birthday, made from Penis cake pans from Babeland in the Lower East Side, and those were undoubtedly awesome. So, here you go Ang, a whole new slew of sexy recipes to get your hands on! (they are also called erotic recipes)

Subway Poster Remix Grafitti
Some pictures have been surfacing throughout the past couple weeks of an awesome subway billboard remix graffiti artist's work. This last round was sent to And I Am Not Lying, and includes some great social commentary from the power of "Woman" to "Iran=Nam", to my personal favorite, the big pink slippers from the Tylenol ad mashed up with the "That's the career track of a New York City Correction Officer." He/She's been working off of the L train, but I bet these images are from all over the city. NYC cops are lazy, we all knew that, and now it's spelled out in our subways.

The Real Restaurants of Liberty City
Adam Kuban at Ed Levine's New York Eats did a little in-game research and came up with a few real NYC versions of restaraunt locations in Grand Theft Auto's Liberty City. Among them- The Bohemian Beer Garden, the Pepsi Cola sign, and the 69th Street Diner. On second thought, there's really no correlation b/t any of these and GTA, other than the Bohemian Beer Garden....Good try though.

New Legless Lizard Discovered
Ooh! Ooh! Big announcement today from Live Science...they found a lizard with no legs! A new species!
I hate to be a lizard-hater, and I know their scientists and all, and that lizards are totally different, but i mean, didn't they just find a snake? Even the descriptions sound a hell-of-a-lot like a snake...
"The absence of legs and the sharply pointed snout help the lizard move over the surface layer of sandy soil in Brazil."
Totally a snake.
In the rest of the article, they also claim to have found a mini-woodpecker and some horned toad in these heavy grasslands covering 20% of Brazil.

Guitar Hero 3 Embeddable Widget!!!
With my office is disbelief over the conflicting Guitar Hero \ Rock Band inter-agency tournaments, the timing is seemingly perfect for Activision to release a Guitar Hero 3 embeddable widget….and they sent it out with an exclusive at Wired’s Game|Life. It’s actually kind of hard, and not nearly as satisfying as real life fake guitar playing, but still, this version of fake real life fake guitar playing deserves at least a thumbs up. The songs are: “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour, “School’s Out” by Alice Cooper, and “Metal Heavy Lady” by Lions. Enjoy!"The widget, played with the keyboard, contains three different songs: "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour, "School's Out" by Alice Cooper, and "Metal Heavy Lady" by Lions. Each is set at only one difficulty level: Easy, Medium, and Hard, respectively."

Waiting for GTA4
While I'm waiting for my copy of GTA4 to arrive on my desk, Gawker's asking for some gameplay footage of Niko beating up hipsters."If you're taking the day off to explore Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto's revamped version of New York, keep us in mind. We're looking for Gawker-worthy gameplay from the videogame—a clip of Niko beating up an annoying hipster would work, for instance. Send to tips@gawker.com."
To that, if anybody has any moneyries-worthy gameplay of someone beating up Nick Denton, send it to moneyries. ;)

A Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape
Now that Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan are trying to keep their noses clean, the folks in the porn industry have turned to the legends. Last week an anonymous bidder bought a never-before-seen Marlyn Monroe sex tape, and now there's news that one foxy lady was recording her love romp with the guitar master, and the tape might be released soon."A Los Angeles porn company is planning to release a film supposedly showing guitar legend Jimi Hendrix having sex with two women, according to a report in the New York Times on Tuesday.Some who knew Hendrix, who died of a drug overdose in 1970 at the age of 27, disagree. Kathy Etchingham, one of his girlfriends from the 1960s, says the man in the film couldn’t be Hendrix. “He would never have allowed anyone to see that,” she told the Times. “In private he was very shy and would cover up.” "

Screw You, Lars Ulrich
From WIRED today, Metallica is now considering a NIN/Radiohead-style approach to releasing their next album, meaning on the internet...and free. This is a complete turn around from the Napster-killers that Metallica were 8 years ago, when Lars "personally delivered a massive printout of the names of people who had been sharing Metallica songs on Napster to the company's headquarters."
Screw you, Lars Ulrich. The internet doesn't want you. Seats taken.

NYC Paranormal Investigation Group
With all the ghost hubbub around a paranormal social network, and A&E's Paranormal State, it's about time we got New York City on the ghostwagon. Some enthusiasts are starting up a Paranormal Investigation Group, and they've put out a call-to-arms for some founding members. Sign me up!"Have you ever wondered whether the paranormal realm exists?
Yes, yes, OK!
Have you ever wanted to pursue the truth through science and psychical ability? Then become a founding member of a new NYC paranormal investigation group!"
Their prospects for the future include a website, a forum, and "the possibility of low-budget, television show-esque filming if that is the direction the group would like to go. The sky is the limit."
Nice pun. I get it. To that, I'll say the only direction this group could go is up, up, up!

How to tell when the justice system is f*cked
Today in the news:
Wesley Snipes was sentenced to 3 years in prison for willfully failing to file tax returns, while three cops who together fired 50 bullets into 23 year old Sean Bell, on his wedding day, are walking free. Neither Wesley nor Sean Bell were armed.
NYTIMES - Wesley Snipes Gets 3 Years for Not Filing Tax Returns"Mr. Snipes, who apologized for his actions before the sentence was announced, showed no immediate reaction to the verdict."
MSNBC - 3 NYPD detectives acquitted in groom slaying"As word of the verdict spread, many outside the courthouse began crying and yelled "No!" Some briefly jostled with police officers."

Hillary Clinton Breathes Fire
In an article about Clinton and Obama being utterly exhausted at this point in their grueling 15-month primary, Andrew Breitbart suddenly reveals that Hillary survives on a diet of hot peppers.
"For her part, Clinton is a veteran of her husband's back-to-back White House races and is keenly aware of the toll it takes on body and spirit. She, too, takes short naps on her plane and eats a steady diet of hot peppers, which she believes has helped her stave off illness. But she says she's getting very little exercise."

New Girl Talk Album due this summer
Girl Talk, who laments the title DJ but manages to mix hundreds of samples together in one dance-your-face-off party track, is putting the finishing touches on his next album, Wild Peace IV: Feed the Animals, Raise the Dead. It's been nearly two years since he stole my heart and mind with Night Ripper, and I had the joy of catching him on tour while spending the ski season in Utah. That show was great - 200 people crammed in a small club in Salt Lake City, surrounding Gregg Gills (aka Girl Talk) on the dance floor as he crouched over his pair of beat-up, beer-soaked lap tops.
"While Night Ripper's irony-laden compound of around 300 samples was a dream party record for the Ritalin set, Gillis says he didn't intend to force-feed listeners a pop-culture concentrate: "That wasn't on my mind at all," Gillis said to Earplug. "I just wanted to make a fun, really crazy, interesting record, and I wanted to make it challenging." Wild Peace IV will be "the most accessible record I've done," said Gillis. "There are bigger chunks of songs used. It's really dense like my other albums, [but] it feels like more of a traditional album — as opposed to focusing on jumping around as quickly as possible." "When the new album comes out, be prepared to out-recommend your friends because I'll bet my blogposts it'll be in the iPods of every kid in Brooklyn come August.
EARPLUG, via SUCHMANN
And here's a pretty neat Girl Talk fan video of Bounce That, created by a professor and his students at Concordia University:

A huge night for $ries

Goodness Gracious toneight's going to give me a heart attack.
First, there's the Pennsylvania primary in which Clinton stands win, but the question is by how much. If not so much, then let's hope she drops out. Stay tuned to DRUDGE for results.
Second, the Flyers have all-but thrown away there lead in the first round of the playoffs verse the Caps. Here's a little video to give you some commentary, and I'll be watching that tonight too.
Third, at 11pm, I'm going to see the Tim & Eric Awesome Show - Great Job tonight!!!!! That's just plain awesome.

Obamavant-garde (The Best Political Ad Ever Created)
This one's by Sean Downey, and is another entry in the Obama in 30 Seconds Moveon.org competition. I think all political ads need to stop now and just embrace Sean Downey's extraordinary ability to create pure gold. Baaaaaa-rack!
His explanation: "The truth. The rise of a new day. The correct way of doing things. A resemblance in structure between animals, plants, or languages. Universal spirituality. All knowing. Omnipresent. Abstract growth and potential in a "know we are being lied to" culture."
His spectacular video:

LOLSurgery: Removing Deodorant From a Dude's Butt (video NSFW)
Ever wonder what the Operating Room is like after they knock you out for surgery to remove a 3-inch can of Axe body spray from your ass? (no, i doubt it's Axe, but wouldn't that be great...) Thanks to some shady doctors in the Philippines, here's your sneak peak.
The back story:"A video posted on the internet showing Philippine doctors laughing while removing an object from a patient may lead to charges against the surgeons and cost them their medical licenses, officials said Wednesday.
BOINGBOING
The nearly 3-minute video of a noisy operating room shows doctors and nurses laughing, giggling and cheering.
At one point, a hand appears with a cell phone camera taking a close-up picture of the surgery.
As a doctor gingerly pulls out the 6-inch long canister from the male patient's rectum, someone shouts, "Baby out!" amid loud cheers.
The doctor then removes the canister cap and sprays the contents toward the crowd of nurses and doctors viewing the procedure.
The video has angered the unidentified patient who plans to press charges, his lawyer Guiller Ceniza said Wednesday."

Silent Rave is "the dumbest event of the year". Now, move on!
Brooklynvegan linked to some images of friday's douche-fest at union square, but the real gold comes in his comments. Also, from the same comment thread, we learn what an "Indie beard" is. But seriously folks, next time an exchange student comes over from London and tries to make everyone "rave" just say no people. Ok?
"Wow, that guy with messanger bag, ipod, untucked shirt is just sooooooooooooo cool, I mean really cool."And, the "indie beard" discussion:
"So so so so lame. I cruised through, got embarrassed and left. Some things are meant to stay European."
"walking through union square felt like bonnaroo.
it sucked."
"LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"OMG, how counter-culture!!"
"Unfortunately, most of the crowd weren't actually "party people" (no surprise there...what actual party kid would go to this, especially in broad open daylight, since you basically can't do drugs), so you had a hodge podge of young trashy kids (and not in a sexy way), curious onlookers and photographers."
"i figured it would have been kind of enjoyable once i was drunk but nope. still kind of a waste of time."
"Let's just declare this the dumbest event of the year and move on."
"fact: most comments on brooklynvegan posts who support this kind of retarded bullshit and say that those who don't are "cranky 29 year olds" are in fact 21-25-year-old hipster and hipsterettes who think that dressing up in "quirky" clothes, growing an "indie beard" and "rocking out" to any and all flash-in-the-pan musical artists makes them something. fact: you are not. You're a dime a dozen. Now go lay out on the southwest corner of McCarren Park and do your best to look cool and get attention since, ya know, mommy and daddy never did."BROOKLYNVEGAN
"i couldn't care either way, but what the hell is an "indie beard"?
did Lincoln have an "indie beard"? how about George Harrison circa 1970? is that an "indie beard" too? i bet Monet has the ultimate "indie beard". when are people gonna stop using such extremely nonsense terms? "indie beard" - are you fucking kidding me?
be ashamed of yourself."
An "Indie Beard" is when you have a beard as well, but you still want to reserve the right to call other people with beards "Indie"

Verizon Surveillance in New York City
Verizon is watching you, and they'll throw you in jail for taking their cone! This was spotted in SoHo, on King St. in between Hudson and Varick today on my lunch break.
I heard about ISPs watching your traffic, but their traffic cones? With cameras? Come on... Just the fact that it looks like it was written by a 6 year old reaffirms my joy in switching to AT&T. I bet they at least write in cursive! I mean for real, they use a freaking ampersand in their name. Screw you Verizon. I touched your cone.

Apartment hunting in Hipsterville
I've been looking for apartments all along the L train, in Bushwick, these past few weeks, as I'm moving out of my loft apartment on McKibbin St., off the Morgan L. It's been called a "hipster landmark", which makes us sick, although there are some massive parties complete with hipster war-fare on most Saturday nights. That being said, it's disgusting the way some of the brokers & Realtors will describe the areas between the Morgan stop and the Halsey stop. They'll say "gentrification friendly" anyway they can, from "building is full of young, urban professionals" to "very safe bushwick" to "building is full of artists". Finally, someone has posted a great rant to the sleaze-ball hipster fishing that these realty companies are executing on Craigslist. From it, learn how apartment hunting is in "Hipsterville, USA":"1) First of all, the flashy titles exclaiming that this is a "TRUE ARTIST LOFT" may work on wannabe-bohemian hipsters, but the less pretentious of us know that in reality this "artist loft" you speak of is probably an over-priced cardboard box outside of Beacon's Closet.
CRAIGSLIST
2) East Williamsburg? Oh, you mean West Bushwick? Even worse is when it's just posted as "Williamsburg" when the address is Jefferson St. or something. I'm not hating on Bushwick or anything - but come on. Obviously Ms. Obscure-Music-Listening-Gal will realize this place ain't in Williamsburg when she steps off of the L and she's NOT surrounded by inordinate amounts of white kids in tight black pants and flannel shirts. Why waste everyone's time?
3) Jacked up prices. One day the entire borough of Brooklyn will be bulldozed, high-rised and bending over backwards to cater to tourists and yuppies. Until that horrifying day, THIS IS NOT MANHATTAN! I know this is the landlord's deal, not the real estate agent's fault, but jeez louise. $2700 for a studio!? It'd be a better deal to sell my soul in exchange for rent (which actually doesn't sound too crazy. This is New York, after all..).
4) It seems like every apartment listed now takes this marketing "strategy" no matter what neighborhood. Oh wow, the building has "creative types"? It's a 40 minute walk to the L train? Well, I'm sold! Not.
I don't want to be misconstrued. I love Brooklyn. I do appreciate the underground arts/music scene. It WOULD be cool to live in a renovated factory. But kids, this isn't "Rent." Brooklyn is not the new East Village or Lower East Side. Don't pay ridiculous rents for neighborhoods you know aren't great. Be nice to your neighbors, and support local businesses. Gentrification sucks, usually there's nothing anyone can do about it - but don't be a pretentious conforming hipster prick. Take pride in whatever neighborhood you live in, don't just look at it in terms of the new "scene" you hope will crop up there.
Oh, and Seth "the Williamsburg expert" who posts incessantly on craigslist, your font is too big and bright. It makes my eyes hurt. NO NEED TO TYPE LIKE THIS!! OKAY!!
Happy huntin'."

Silent Rave tonight in Union Square
Grab yer ipod and head out to Union Square for a "silent rave", set to start at 6:17pm on the dot! Music's not synched, this isn't improv everywhere, nor is it the abercrombie dance party, this is just some kid from across the pond trying to get people dancing in the streets. Meet by the Washington statue, and spread out from there. Dress appropriately, clean up your shit, and "just have a bloody good time".
View the facebook event here: SILENT RAVE"The basic premise is thousands of people turn up in a public place, plug in their own ipods, listen to their own music and dance and rave for hours! The prospect of raving like you really don't care about what other people think, with thousands of fellow dancers, is a bloody brilliant one I think you'll agree! THE OFFICIAL START TIME TO THE SILENT RAVE IS 6:17PM, NO RAVING BEFORE THIS TIME! IGNORE WHAT THE FACEBOOK TIME SAYS (it doesn't let you put minutes like 17 in.) I will be underneath the big statue of Washington, and people shoulod congregate on that front area. SPREAD OUT ACROSS THE PARK ONCE THAT GETS TOO FULL, people need room to rave! There is never an official end time for Silent Raves, its just whenever you're done that it ends. Facebook requires an end time which is why I put one in."
Who's going? Send me some pictures!!

Mo' Sirius Mo' Problems
I love consumers who take that extra step to really expose corporate negligence, and i especially love it when they are rewarded for it. All this guy wanted was some goddamn sticky tape to keep his Sirius radio from slipping off his car's dashboard. All it took was constant phone calls, with no luck, until he finally e-mailed Sirius execs, the BBB, and a number of gadget blogs. In the end, he was rewarded with the replacement tape and 3 months free service.
From his letter:
"...As someone who regularly makes technology recommendations to friends and family, your response or lack thereof may impact whether or not I recommend Sirius satellite radio to them in the future, let alone maintain my subscription. Some of them CC'd on this email, in addition to popular consumer product and technology publications..."
Power to you!

New York woman goes on anti-hubby Youtube Rampage
"Tricia Walsh-Smith can be watched on YouTube lashing out at her husband, Broadway executive Philip Smith, in a teary and furious clip that has been viewed more than 150,000 times. Local 6 reported that lawyers can't think of another case like Smith's and are calling it a "scary, new step."During the video, Walsh-Smith goes through their wedding album on camera, accuses her husband of trying to evict her out of their apartment, and even makes embarrassing claims about their intimate life."From what I read in NY's Metro this morning, she also found condoms, lube, and porno mags and called her husband's secretary to ask him about them....he said "no comment". I haven't even watched this video yet, but figured its worth posting because just the sheer idea of some furious wife taking to this whole "youtube" thing to expose her husband will prove to be a priceless piece of youtube history, and one that is SURE to have a number of imitations and follow-ups. Cue the divorce by Youtube era! Is this sad, or awesome? I can't decide...

You Don't Need It Anti-Advertising Stickers
Steve Lambert, who runs the Anti-Advertising Agency site, is giving away these "you don't need it stickers" to paste all over the ads of your city. If you send a self-addressed envelope to:
Steve Lambert/Anti-Advertising Agency
c/o Eyebeam OpenLab
540 W.21st ST.
New York, NY 10011
He'll send 5 of the stickers straight to you, so you can start reminding people they don't have to consume everything they see. If you'd prefer to print and paste them yourself, he also provides an EPS file of the sticker. He'll even provide a spanish version!"Based on the popularity of the Packard Jennings and the Anti-Advertising Agency’s Bus Stop Bench project we had some stickers made. They are easy to carry around town and by placing the stickers onto advertising (or other objects) the ad is detourned, often in humorous and interesting ways."
Click over to his site, Anti-Advertising Agency, to see some photos from the field.

AM General Corp Will Safely Get Your Kid To Soccer Practice
This week's guest blogger, Ecoblock.
Sitting in Indiana at one of my beautiful job sites in the middle of no where, I suddenly heard a choo choo. As any man living in a boys body would do, I got excited for an approaching train. As i saw the train approaching, it dawned on me that this was not any ordinary train. For approximately 5 to 7 minutes, train car after train car blew by me with military issued Hum-Vees. As any environmentalist/reasonable person would do, I sat there for 5 to 7 minutes giving my middle finger. FU H2 (however these appeared to be H1s).

Montana Meth Ads w/ extremely long list of Meth Slang
20/20 ("Clear Vision" Hawaii)
Holy Meth teeth, now these are some effective anti-drug ads. Put together by the Montana Meth Project, with collaborative help by director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Babel, 21 Grams), these PSA's are creepy, terrifying, dirty, yet extremely effective at keeping me away from the Blue Belly.

Goohoo!
Yahoo is said to be linking up with Google to boost their advertising efforts online...
"Another shot has been fired in the bitter battle between Microsoft and Yahoo .The Internet company plans to announce Wednesday afternoon that it will begin a test advertising partnership with Google, people briefed on the plan told DealBook. In the experiment, expected to last for two weeks and applying only to users in the United States, Yahoo will display Google-provided ads alongside its own search results, these people said."
I can't think of a better word for a merge than Goohoo! Yahgle doesn't flow quite as nicely, and sounds more like the end of a coughing fit than anything else.

Two Reasons why the U.S. Military never should have used Agent Orange in Vietnam
" Nguyen Xuan Minh, age 6, rests in his bed at the "Peace Village" of Tu Du hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, May 25, 2007. According to hospital staff, the boy is suffering from physical deformities suspected to have been caused by his parents' exposure to dioxin in the chemical defoliant Agent Orange. (David Guttenfelder/AP Photo)"

"Five-year-old girl Tran Huynh Thuong Sinh, who was born without eyes in the Binh Dinh province of Vietnam, is fed breakfast by a nurse at the "Peace Village" center at Tu Du hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, May 25, 2007. Officials at the hospital suspect that the dioxin in Agent Orange blocks the receptors in a developing fetus, preventing the hormones that would normally instruct the cells to form eyes from doing so. (David Guttenfelder/AP Photo)"
