R. Kelly Would Like To Sell You His Looney Tunes Bar

looneytunesFor only $2,000–or best offer, so get bidding!–a custom-made bar at R. Kelly’s now-former house can be yours. And by “Looney Tunes Bar” I don’t mean “featured in a video in the ‘Trapped In The Closet’ series”–I mean cartoon-themed, so Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, and Jessica Rabbit (who doesn’t quite fit in, although I guess R. wanted as much sexiness as possible in his cartoon cavalcade) are all carved into the front. Not only that, but it’s trimmed with leather for extra classiness! Honestly if I had room in my house I would put in a bid, if only because it would be a great conversation piece and I’m sick of storing my liquor high above my kitchen cabinets.

Beth Ditto Turns Into A Plastic Person

bethcropBeth Ditto has been transformed into a limited-edition doll for the purpose of promoting her upcoming clothing line for the British plus-sized clothing chain Evans. “Ditto’s curves have been translated into pint-sized proportions,” says Vogue UK in its writeup of the doll and Ditto’s “slouchy, rock-inspired clothes and accessories,” which is a nice way to allude to the Barbie-like makeover she’s been given–I guess because making clothing for “big girls” an acceptable topic for fashion magazines to even think about is tough. The full doll after the jump. MORE »

Is That A Speaker In Your T-Shirt, Or Are You Just Happy To Play “Yakety Sax” When You See Me?

It started off as an April Fool’s Day joke, but the Personal Soundtrack Shirt—a shirt with an embedded speaker and an attached remote control, so you can control which sound effects and songs get played via the speaker—can be yours for a mere $39.99 at ThinkGeek.com. Will this shirt go from an Internet joke that got a little out of control to a less arm-taxing replacement for the boom box? I guess we’ll have to wait until summer to find that out (sadly, it only comes in a short-sleeved version), but for now, there’s video of the apparel in action after the jump. MORE »

It's like the tshirt version of an awful myspace page.

Don’t Throw Those Cassingles Out Yet

Everybody’s seen those fancypants record players that have the USB cords, wherein you can back up your favorite LPs into inferior-sounding digital files for maximum convenience*. But what of those cassettes that you’ve been stashing in some shoeboxes in that back closet, right behind the Rubbermaid tub of Christmas ornaments that never even makes it out for Christmas because you stopped buying trees a few years ago when you and your wife separated because, I mean, what’s the point of even trying anymore? What about those guys? The cassettes, I mean. MORE »

• tapes of my grandparents and parents talking to each other that they sent back and forth while my parents lived in Brazil

Aw, our families did that too. Not Brazil, though - Alaska. Still, I want to preserve the cassettes and VHS tapes that my grandparents created - There's something so comforting about hearing their voices.

Fall Out Boy: The Offical Rock Band Of The Plushie Crowd

Fall Out Boy are no strangers to the toy tie-in—after all, the band’s series of “action figures” sold out its run. Still, I’m a little mystified by the line of talking plush dolls the band has just released, although I’m sure an entirely new, and even more disturbing, sort of slash fiction will be inspired in the wake of them hitting stores. Beyond the cut, full-sized pics of the seemingly Mii-inspired dolls, as well as a video of two of them kissing (OMG!). MORE »

Pete Wentz can fit ALL of those dolls up his asshole.
