a continuous lapse in judgment, pt. 5

I have no idea what the people in India Arie’s marketing team were thinking. Caught this off some site. Promo images for India’s new album Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship, were plastered all over portaloos. Yes, portable toilets.

common bridges the gap this xmas

Common, Common, Common. You done did it again. The on-and-off face of conscious hip hop stars in a new Christmas TV commercial for The Gap, in which he and a whole gang of cherubic b-boys and girls push the new Gap hoodie collection. It’s all good, Com’s done this before, selling Reebok’s Classic sneakers way […]

we want conscious clothing! nau!

Sometimes, good things happen when you key in the wrong URL. I came across the official website of clothing brand Nau, based in the sleepy American state of Oregon, with a name which means “welcome” in Maori (how Oregonites – Oreganos? – can make references to Maori culture I’ll never know) and, most importantly, pays […]

Sure, you think you know the Internet like the back of your hand. Fancy yourself a human Google, even. Able to string off URL after URL for almost any topic, eh? Hogwash.
