The Best Urinal Ever

Piss like you have never pissed before! Hold it in until you have loads in your bladder and unleash it on what is potentially, the best urinal ever! Its called a Thermochromic urinal and it basically reacts on the temperature of your urine to create a psychedelic trip to the mens room.

Zombie Boy aka Rick Genest X Mugler

Incredible... I first posted about Zombie Boy (the tattooed freak) exactly three years ago when he was 22 years old, and I was thinking how he had said in an interview with BMEZine that he didn't really care what his future entailed. I felt sorry for him, but three years on and he is now modelling for Mugler and even appeared in Lady Gaga's most recent music video...not bad for this Canadian nutter...





See my original post with him 3 years ago HERE...

Scott Bain Taxidermy MicroMachina

"MICROMACHINA examines what makes the insect world tick, and considers our attempts to control nature and the consequences. Humanity’s blatant disregard for nature, where profit comes before life, will ultimately be our undoing. Pesticides, herbicides, genetic modification and massive urban expansion push the fine balance of life toward disaster. There has to be a point, when mother nature will say ‘too far’, and rid the earth of its biggest pest... us."
