It’s not officially a pop-culture sensation until it’s had a grad school-style disseration written about it. So welcome to the canon, “Gangnam Style” — because The Atlantic published an article yesterday making the case that the insane/hysterical K-Pop bath salts hallucination video “is rich with subtle references that, along with the song itself, suggest a subtext with a surprisingly subversive message about class and wealth in contemporary South Korean society.” The article is fucking fascinating. Let’s learn a few things about “Gangnam Style” and the pudgy pop crooner PSY who wrote the song, directed the video and came up with those sweet, sweet dance moves. Continue reading

Well, Crassers, we’re whittling down the sewtestants. We saw Raoul come back and get booted again, and we saw Elena begin to lose her marbles in the weirdest way. Anyway, what’s up tonight? Apparently, the designers have to “create new looks for women who have just gotten new hairstyles.” Actually, this is the “real woman challenge,” so we’re going to be treated to many comments about how awful it is to design for women who aren’t a size 0.

Oh, technology. There’s so much of it to go around. Our smartphones are practically on their way to being able to launch missiles. (No one tell us if smartphones can already launch missiles.) So why can’t we use them to launch an impromptu date? Well, you certainly can, silly. You can order up a date much like a pizza. Didn’t know that did you? Well, now you do. Mobile dating. The first step in securing a random hookup based on such aesthetics as appearance and liking the same coffee house — or in short — an “orchestrated serendipitous but not really meeting.” Yay?

During a discussion about a potential tax increase in Lubbock County, Texas, Judge Tom Head explained that such an increase was necessary to plan for various emergency contingencies. Among those possible scenarios, Judge Head suggested the county needed to prepare for reelection of President Obama. He explains, “He’s going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the UN, and what is going to happen when that happens?” After you clean the coffee from your screen, feel free to read that last sentence again. The President, the United Nations and presumably, the New World Order are coming for the good citizens of Lubbock County and one man aims to stop it, Lexington/Concord style. Continue reading
