This is adorable, Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg are Bonding through mashed potatoes. My favorite part is Snoop demanding black pepper instead of white pepper.

It sounds like someone took Tom Hank's role in Terminal too seriously.
Japanese citizen, Hiroshi Nohara, has decided to live in the Mexico City airport for 3 months and with apparently no reason. Since September 2, his home has been in the terminal and he has survived off food and clothing donations from travelers and airport shops lookin for advertising. In his own words, he claims to have no reason for staying so long:
He is now a minor celebrity in the city, as his refusal to go home has ignited the city's imagination. Neither Mexican or Japanese authorities have been able to help persuade him to leave and he may stay put until his visa runs out in Early March.

"I don't understand why I'm here," he said through a visiting interpreter originally hired by a television station. "I don't have a reason."

Ah, misogyny, one of the final frontiers of terrible, terrible inequalities in our society. It's amazing that only in the 60's sexism was so prevailent in advertising. Sometimes you see ads these days and think how prejudiced they are, but seeing these makes me think "thank god for the advancements in our society." Maybe in another 40 years sexism really will be totally gone from the marketing industry, but I doubt it.
How do I make a dove cry? Hmmm...thank goodness for this helpful flow chart. Of course, maybe you have other burning questions, like "what percentage of boys were brought to the yard by respective milkshakes?" Finally, your pop music questions can be answered in easy visual charts and graphs.

Is your home decor lacking slightly creepy salt and pepper shakers? Artist Guy Michael Davis has you covered. These shakers are not only disturbing in appearance, but the molds used to make them were created with real dead turkey heads.
