Three Men and a Video Camera, Out to Reveal Urban Truths
01.06.10
“This isn’t Whole Foods,” said Dallas Penn, after riffing on all the chemically enhanced cakes, chips and beverages he found in a South Bronx bodega.
“It’s part foods,” replied Rafi Kam.
But it is fully funny as part of “Bodega,” a short video that explores the meager options that residents of miserable neighborhoods have for healthy eating. The video, which Mr. Kam, Mr. Penn and their friend Casimir Nozkowski made in 2006, joined a growing online oeuvre that has brought them cult prominence as wisecracking social critics who deconstruct the worlds of check-cashing outlets, passage vendors and even sugar-laden breakfast cereal.
Assailing their targets with staged stunts and gleefully down language, the three men, all New Yorkers in their 30s, conjure up a world in which Michael Moore might meet Dave Chappelle .
“They have the hocus-pocus touch, where they can take a topic and turn it into a T-shirt slogan, yet not lose touch with the issue,” said Ben Popken, one of the managing editors of Consumerist.com, a Web purlieus specializing in consumer advocacy and personal finance. “They’re geniuses at doing that.”

Would you rather go out with your celebrity crush or a real-life crush?
Jul 29, 2009 by ☮ Megan | Posted in Polls & Surveys
(The media wouldn't cognizant of you were an item)
Natural-life crush. Because then I would probably know more about him outside of his media image. Celebrities may not be as nice as they seem to be. You don't really know who they are. Plus, they might be butt-ugly, considering all the makeup they have one.

looking for creative shirts! like hundreds and kidrobot?
Jul 29, 2009 by gosh.darn | Posted in Fashion & Accessories
alright allow me or not, but i liked BAPE before soulja boy, and then it got played outt, it sounds like some bullshh.. but if you feel the way i sense you'll understand.. i also enjoyed "the hundreds" shirts before most people at my school.. then people started wearing it out.
and as my last contemplate ive worn Kidrobot but now celebrities are wearing it like JAY-z and everybody knows about it.
i know what your thinking "who cares" well if you like low key brands BEFORE they become legendary then you'lll understand.
well enough of my sad stories heh.
so now im searching so hard to find some brand like the ones ive worn before, very stylish, ingenious, unique and expensive.
not abercrombie
not hollister
im into japanese brands if you havent noticed
some shirts that will contest my Nike Sb's....yes im a shoe head too.
something that nobody hears about, and wont be in any trend soon!
i hope star comes up with somthing, so i can sell my BAPE collection, the countless hundreds shirts and most of my KR items!
no im not black, no im not ghostly, no im not racist
im hawaiian/japanese/Pnoy and i have a passion for clothes nd shoes.
im really not up to one word answers that dont refer to to subject
and im really not up to any hate today. :[
just some suggestions and maybe some links :]
k.. im out like a fat kid in evade ball later!
