I find Detroit to be one of the most fascinating places in the States. It was a huge, rich city and is now like a third-world country right here in our own states. The Times has a fantastic photo gallery of Detroit buildings in decline. They are beautiful, and throughly depressing. I highly recomend you check them out.

What is wrong with you when you actually think this is a good idea? How strange is it that this is so old?
Giant People Stuck In Wall
I love this art piece Boing Boing featured the other day. It’s a perfect example of creative imaging of a normal place.
Bad Paintings of Barack Obama
Good Magazine really impressed me today when they introduced me to the brilliant and hilarious website known as Bad Paintings of Barack Obama.
I’m in love with the one above. Not only is it badly done, but his face and pose make him look like he’s saying “Tee hee, I made a doodie.”
Wooden Woody Allen Brooch
Ladies and Gentlemen, lock up your Asian underage daughters because Woody’s got wood. Ok bad jokes aside, how hilarious is this Woody Allen pin? At a mere $26 it’s not over-priced for the level of craftsmanship and detail put into it.
If they made one of Larry David, I’d have to buy one for my BF on his birthday.
Pacenta Needlework
This placenta crochet piece by Souviner_Kattunge is adorably disgusting. Man do I love Flickr.
Are these baby slippers not the craziest, most disturbing thing you’ve ever seen? Aparently these were one of a kind creations made for burning man, but I know so many people that would actually buy these.

Bear Sleeping Bag -A “Roaring” Good Time
I love this bear sleeping bag by artist Eiko Ishizawa. BoingBoing discovered it and I have to say, I need one. You know they’re extra good because if you’re camping in the wilderness, they might just save your life when an angry bear attacks your camp. Ok, maybe not, but they’re surely warmer than the average non-bear bag.
If you have any extra money lying about the house, buy this painting immediately. How can you not afford to have this hung about your house? I know it can’t quite depict his cat-like agility, but come on people!
Disturbing Obama Fan Art
I am so majorly disturbed by this Obama art on sale through eBay. What on earth is that unicorn planning on doing after he rubs the lotion on the skin? Thank you BoingBoing for providing so much entertainment to my life.
