Since everything has already been outsourced to Asia, why not an Indian Threadless for young Indian hipsters to flaunt their design prowess. From the downright awful to the just plain weird, Inkfruit.com demonstrates that the production of pop culture is just not one of those things likely to be shipped overseas anytime soon.  My personal favorite is the above warning (i think) that if drinking doesn’t kill you, it might give you some serious beer-shits. On a less foreboding note however is Sheetal’s fabulous “Let’s do party tonight.”

In the often heated debate to determine whether American Apparel founder Dov Charney is indeed a total douche bag or possibly just a misunderstood sexual deviant, this latest piece of news clearly lands in the DB column.  May 30th saw the filing of yet another sexual harassment charge against Charney in which he allegedly screamed at a female employee to “pretend to masturbate.”  Now I know what you are thinking, I must be reading old newspapers or something, but in fact this latest case is in fact entirely new (the fifth one).  Now aside from being a raging misogynistic douche-bag, who demands for someone to “pretend to masturbate?”  That’s just plain weird, Charney.

Go to TMZ to see the court papers, although they are rather blurry and completely boring. Except for the part about the screaming and the pretending.

Not wanting to be left behind in the new election year t-shirt mania, KFC will unveil its new t-shirt series celebrating the goodness that is fried chicken (or electoral politics, I’m not sure). The three shirts will feature “left wing” (blue), “right wing (red, of course), and “tastes the same to me.” Sorry for the lousy pictures, but that is all they have available. Shirts are $15 and proceeds help provide scholarships for chickens students looking to attend college. Buy them here, or if you are appalled that this site might propose supporting someone like KFC, go buy a I am not a nugget shirt at www.peta2.org.
