WHEN THIS CREW BUFFS, THEY BUFF HARD!
Alright, don't get your pannies all twisted...I'm sure these boys are just having a laugh. Check the faces of everybody on the trains, they're all kind of dumb-founded by the fact that instead of a bunch of hoodlums bangin' out some graffiti in broad daylight on their pretty little trains, these fellas are stone cold cleaning them! Now that's gangsta.

KEE UTILTY: ANALOG iPHONE DOCKING SYSTEM
Korea's Kee Utility has one of the sickest docks for your iPhone, perfectly marrying iPhone's tech with the beautiful looks of the analog phones of yesteryear. The Desk Phone Dock is a new aluminum and white plastic iPhone dock allowing users to initiate and receive calls on their iPhones via a traditional handset. To enable this functionality, the Desk Phone Dock features a built-in dock on the right side, which also houses stereo speakers, a headphone port, and a volume knob, with a traditional handset on the left. Hell, I don't know how well this baby works, but it sure has peaked my interest!

CONVERSE 'SKOOTS' NAZI-ERA SNEAKERS
eBay is an amazing platform. If you want it, it's gotta be on eBay (or at least, was or will be at one time). eBay seller Mad4Mod Vintage of Columbus, Ohio recently sold a super-duper rare find, a pair of Nazi-era Converse Skoots for a staggering 1825 bucks!
I know some of you out there are getting all pissy, thinking to yourselves 'how the fuck?! what the hell?! Nazi sympathizing Converse?!' Chill, I don't think Converse said anything like 'hey, let's make sneakers for the future genocidal maniac, soon to be known as Hitler.' when these Skoots were originally produced. Take 'em for what they are...rare Converse memorabilia. Remember, emo-music did not invent Converse, they've been kickin' around since 1917.

TOTTI WOLF Mash-Up by Sten & Lex
Holy Moses, this has to be the largest mash-up ever! Sten & Lex's wheatpaste measures roughly 26x12 meters and since I attended public schools, here in the USofA, I can't translate that very well into the American equivalent (unless I'm counting on my fingers & toes), but I will guess-ti-mate that to be approximately 'huge-as-shit!'
Totti Wolf is hand-painted and integrates imagery likening to B-movie wolf-man, the late/great Lon Chaney & footballer Francesco Totti (who's kind of a National treasure for AS Roma)...and note the beautiful soundscapes of DEVOs 'Gut Feeling/ Slap Your Mammy".
*okay all you math nerds out there chillax, we're ball-parking this piece to be about 85x39 feet...that's still 'huge as shit!'

'WINNEBAGO MAN' VIRAL VIDEO BEFORE THERE WAS A VIRAL VIDEO
Winnebago Man was a viral video years before there was You Tube. This flick is guaranteed to make you piss your britches and choke on your popcorn. Hits theaters July 9th...bring a fresh change of drawers & a buddy proficient in CPR.
The following synopsis was lifted directly from the official Winnebago Man site..."Jack Rebney is the most famous man you’ve never heard of — an RV salesman whose hilarious, foul-mouthed outbursts circulated underground on VHS tapes in the 90s before turning into a full-blown Internet phenomenon in 2005. Today, the “Winnebago Man” has been seen by more than 20 million people worldwide, and is regarded as one of the first and funniest viral videos. Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer goes in search of Rebney — and finds him living alone on a mountain top, unaware of his fame. WINNEBAGO MAN is a laugh-out-loud look at viral culture and an unexpectedly poignant tale of one man’s response to unintended celebrity."
