TIME's 'Most Influential Person of 2009' as voted by You

“In a stunning result, the winner of the third annual TIME 100 poll and new owner of the title World’s Most Influential Person is moot. The 21-year-old college student and founder of the online community 4chan.org, whose real name is Christopher Poole, received 16,794,368 votes and an average influence rating of 90 (out of a possible 100) to handily beat the likes of Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Oprah Winfrey. To put the magnitude of the upset in perspective, it’s worth noting that everyone moot beat out actually has a job.”

DAICHI – DOPE JAPANESE BEATBOXER

Posted in Fresh Talent, Music, Videos by junaverse on April 23, 2009

I’ve seen a good share of beatbox videos, but this routine is fresh, especially for one w/ just straight in-your-face beatboxing (i.e. no harmonicas, ‘recipes,’ and what not). The variety in rhythm and tempo, the skratching + synth techniques towards the end, oh my gawd, killed it.

As a side note: always thought that the Japanese were so good at taking concepts from other cultures, learning it, remastering it, and making it their own.

‘SADDEST AZN ALIVE’ aka ‘THE HIPSTER GRIFTER’ aka ‘KARI FERRELL’

Posted in News, Pop Culture by junaverse on April 16, 2009

This is an entry about an IRL story.

Abridged definition: Kari Ferrell has ‘unmeaningful’ sex w/ lots of dudes to scam them of their money. altDefinitions: ‘universal golddigger’ ‘currently wanted IRL’ ‘azn persuazn’ ‘Barry Obama’s stimulus package 4 altbros’

“It’s likely that when Kari Ferrell walked into the Vice magazine offices in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, last month to interview for an administrative assistant job, they thought they’d hit the jackpot. Ms. Ferrell—petite, 22 years old, of Korean heritage—had a huge tattoo of a phoenix across her chest and a cute pixie haircut. She was talkative, funny, charming, adorable. She had a tattoo on her back that read “I Love Beards.” She told them she’d been working for the New York office of the concert promotion company GoldenVoice, which puts on huge rock festivals like Coachella near Palm Springs, Calif., and that she’d moved to New York from Utah just a few months earlier. They hired her on the spot.”

She lied a lot
Pretended she had cancer and was gonna die
Just so people would ‘feel sad for her’
Stole money, credit cards, checks, and cell phones from bros who ‘got to put their penis inside of her vagina’

It was also around November that a guy named Troy was at Union Pool, the Williamsburg bar, when the bartender passed him a note from another customer. It read, “I want to give you a hand job with my mouth,” and was signed “Korean Abdul-Jabbar.”

The (allegedly) original note

The Salt Lake City Police Department now has an extradition order for Ms. Ferrell. Anyone with information on her whereabouts can call Mr. Ross at 801-799-3366.) Sergeant Ross also drew my attention to his department’s use of YouTube in pursuit of Ms. Ferrell:

“BE CAREFUL YALL. srsly. so many ppl out there with bad intentions. just hang out on the internet all day 2 keep urself safe. do no give out ur credit card info unless u r buying a kewl t-shirt or shoes or something.”

– PSA approved by Carles

@ the end of the day

“Do u ‘feel sad’ for the AZN? or does she sound ‘too good to be true’?
Do u think she is ‘hot’? Do u think she is ‘a disgusting person’?
Do u think she will forever change the AZN stereotype?
Do u think she is going to ‘go to jail’?”

Leandro Erlich

Posted in Art by ghostandphantom on April 16, 2009

“Leandro Erlich is known for installations that seem to defy the basic laws of physics and befuddle the viewer, who is introduced into jarring environments that momentarily threaten a sense of balance or space. For this exhibition, Erlich presents one of his most well-known and critically acclaimed pieces, Swimming Pool. Speaking about the project, Erlich says: “When I first visited P.S.1, I remember thinking how perfect the Duplex space would be for the installation of Swimming Pool. This space divided the experience of seeing the work perfectly, and in the correct order. Almost ten years since its creation, Swimming Pool is finally in the exhibition space for which I have always felt is so perfectly suited.”

Erlich has constructed a full-size pool, complete with all its trappings, including a deck and a ladder. When approached from the first floor, visitors are confronted with a surreal scene: people, fully clothed, can be seen standing, walking, and breathing beneath the surface of the water. It is only when visitors enter the Duplex gallery from the basement that they recognize that the pool is empty, its construction a visual trick fashioned by the artist. A large, continuous piece of acrylic spans the pool and suspends water above it, creating the illusion of a standard swimming pool that is both disorienting and humorous.”
