THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH A SOCIETY WHERE SOME PEOPLE ARE RICH ENOUGH TO USE OTHER PEOPLE’S BODIES AS FOOD PLATES.
Good news from Super Secret Sunshine World Headquarters: We’ve gotten ahold of a Resistance 2 beta code. Sony has officially deemed us worthy. The bad news? We’re on level twelve of Dead Space and our mission has been put on indefinite hold. The fate of the whole fucking galaxy hangs in the balance, and we’ve [...]
I looked deeply into her eyes and slowly lowered her onto the bed. Our lips met in a passionate kiss. “Oh, Boris!” She moaned. Our fingers fumbled with buttons and clasps as fabric yielded to warm, soft flesh. We held each other close, our naked bodies intertwined. “Boris, my love, I feel like I have [...]

So, the dinosaurs all died and their bones were buried under layers of sediment and eventually turned into oil. Then humans came along, pumped the oil out of the earth and turned it into an array of miracle products — like legos and mop handles — and then promptly reburied it all.
When the planet is [...]
I always pause before I tear into a man who, while sipping his morning tea, could fucking raise an private army to fucking erase me from the goddamn planet. That’s why I’m going to refer to the man as Mister Buffett. I am nothing if not respectful. Just ask my dear Italian mother. She’s always saying [...]
Pepsi is re-branding itself. Finally. I’ve been harping about this for weeks. “Why hasn’t Pepsi re-branded itself?!” I’ve been saying. I mean, it’s like, come on. My vagina is getting wet just thinking about it.
It’s what we all need, am I right? We’re fucking fighting a “war” in Iraq. (Somehow, even though the Iraqi government supports us [...]
With about ten minutes to go, I figured I’d sit down and pound out a few words to bid farewell to the week. I don’t know about you, but I say: good riddance. So what if we’re all a week closer to our eventual and inevitable deaths? Pshaw, I say. The week sucked. What can you [...]
So, I don’t know, I feel like I let you down. I mentioned that I pre-ordered Dead Space, but I wasn’t actually able to get ahold of it today. So, here you are, thinking that I’m sitting at home playing the game when I’m actually not. Look, I want your internal fantasies regarding my current [...]
Hey. How are you? I’ve missed you.
Work has been crazy.
How’s your day been? How was the meeting?
It’s really good to see you — you smell good.
Yeah, I know, it’s late. You’ve got to get to bed. Heck, I should try to get some sleep too.
I wish we had more time to spend together.
By the way, I’ve been fucking the [...]
Wow, I really expected to hate these illustrations by Michael Fleming, but… they’re wonderful! (via Hicks)
So, The Atlantic, a magazine nobody actually reads, has been redesigned by Pentagram, a design firm nobody actually… something. I don’t know what, okay? We’ll deal with that later. I never was very good with analogies.
Anyway, Pentagram has an article up (more like a press release gussied up in a fancy dress) that shows off how thorough [...]
In all seriousness, I am not actually a drunk. I do, of course, enjoy a nice pinot or cab and I’m not one to turn down a finger or two of expensive scotch (neat, of course — you never water down good scotch). But most of the posts here on Super Secret Sunshine were written while 100% [...]
Glass houses being what they are, I recommend listening to This American Life’s coverage of the monetary hurricane that is currently whipping its way across the globe. The Giant Pool of Money, an episode that was aired in May, ladies and gentlemen, breaks down the whole shit-astrophe into easily digested chucks of greasy, gooey, gelatinous information. It’s only [...]
So, I’m listening to NPR tonight and, you know, they’re talking about the economy. There are a couple of analysts trying to pretend that they know what the fuck is going on when nobody seems to know what the fuck is going on and one of them says, in effect, that for all the finger [...]
Hmm. Just stumbled onto a neat little Flickr collection of Calvin and Hobbes drawings. Nothing mind-blowing, but fun. This one here was done by Jordan Crane.
Look, it’s Milton Glaser. He’s famous. And the poster is in support of Barack Obama, our last, best hope for peace and prosperity in these United States. Sweet.
Okay, yeah, so it’s not Glaser’s best effort, cut the man some slack. He’s old.
What? Why does the big “O” looks like a vinyl record? Uh, why do [...]
Famed comic book artist, Paul Pope, has created a new “toy” with the help of Playboy and Kid Robot. It’s made from vinyl, is about 7.5″ in length and, with a little lube, is probably perfect for anal insertion. But I think it’s supposed to sit on your shelf.
Other than helping to shore up Pope’s [...]
So, I, like many others, became enamored with the work of Banksy a few years back. It wasn’t the graffiti that did it, but the covert operations he undertook in various museums. I was smitten.
Since then, I kind of got over it. I mean, the work he’s been doing is clever and brave and important, [...]
Look, I’m no expert at fashion. My wardrobe consists of three tshirts and a pair of jeans, alright? I mean, I think there might be some socks and stuff too, but you get the idea. But still. I mean, what the hell?
MC Frontalot has a new album coming out. I’m not too crazy about the music, but Scott Campbell’s artwork for the CD package looks delicious.
Look, I know, I’m supposed to love the music because it’s about geeks. Geek power, right? I should probably also still be rocking out to those They Might Be Giants records [...]
I’ve pre-ordered Dead Space. I’m not that crazy about horror titles and I’m a kind of over the whole first person shooter genre, so I’ll let you know how that works out. My guess? Dead fucking aliens fucking everywhere.
I know we’re still getting to know one another, you and I. I just want you to know, there’s more to me than just… this. If you’ll just give me a chance, I think I have a lot to offer. Sure, I’m angry and funny and often drunk, but I assure you that I can [...]
