Ikea and the 12,400 bikes

Lets start out by giving them thumbs up for the concept, free bike as a holiday gift for all employees. Not bad.
Lets give them thumbs down for stealing the joy of biking from 12,400 people. After a ride on that thing I'm positive that at least 10,000 of these employees will make a new years resolution to never ever ride a bike again followed by phone call to a lawyer, claiming Ikea tried to kill them.
Why on earth did they go for that overengineered pile of crap of a hybrid bike instead of a simple basic mountain bike or a single speed road bike. There are like 8 things wrong with this bike. I just can't see that thing being fun to ride. Keep the components, swap out the frame with some room and then you might actually end up with something that resembles a worthwhile ride.

Insult to injury? Check this out. Some shmuck built it up with the damn fork backwards. Come on! This is supposed to be Ikea - the church of building things while following simple diagrams for directions. How could you fuck that up? Doesn't it look awkward and handle even worse? Meh. Good enough said Fox19 from West Chester, Ohio and posted up the pic below in their news story. Idiots.

We are all about more bikes in the world .... but not like these.

I Can't Wait For This Stomach Virus To Pass

Spicy brown mustard...

Thats what I see everytime I take a shit. I don't know if it's a virus, something I ate, or from putting dirty things in my mouth, but this thing has its hooks in me.

Let these pictures be a reminder to you. Not just of my feces and stomach cramps, but to WASH YOUR HANDS and keep you tongue off of subway poles.

Also, don't ask for EVERYTHING on your hotdog next time we're at a bbq together.

Unsigned Hype

Professor Germ and Digital V - the illest collabo you never heard of. In this industry, its becoming harder and harder for obscure, underground acts to stay fresh, real and not sell out. Yet somehow, NYC bred duo PGnDV managed to do just that. C2D catches up with them to find out whats what.
Professor Germ - represents Jersey Shore. Surfer boy at heart, world traveler at mind, Daoist by day, borrows from many walks of life for his inspiration. Catch him listening to the latest of Williamsburg hipster shit one day, screaming out "Killuminati!" the next.
Digital V - the Eastern European sensation. Born in Russia, street hardened on blocks of Brooklyn - a complex mix of a character. One thing for certain, his wild swagger and wicked delivery will keep you up at night.
Best known for their breakout single "The Deli Song" of their freshman album "Sex" and the club banga "Out to Eat" co-produced by their main man Vico Deini from their "Our Love for Daughters" LP, PGnDV stay in the lab. As these two are busting out their 3rd album, no genre is sacred, no chord is left untouched.
C2D: How would you describe your style?
Digital V: We try to touch many places. Psychedelic, psychotic, rhythmic, illmatic, melodic, bluesy wild ass type bongs. Freaky. Our sound is freaky. Hiphop, rock and roll, raggae, death metal, punk - anything. Talent dont grow on trees, its in the roots, and we're the motherfuckin nutrients of this music shit.
C2D: The two of you, established solo acts, came together for this project, how did this come about?
Professor Germ: Well, not gonna beat around the bush, we were getting twisted out, binging on all sorts of shit for like a month straight few summers ago, chillin in V Diggaz L.E.S. studio, when we decided to lay down a cover of Bill Withers "Aint No Sunshine", next came "The Deli" track. This music came from necessity, not boredom. It came from hunger.
C2D: Thats cool, thats cool. So whats comming up for you two?
Digital V: Ayo, can i say this one, can i say this one? Right now, i fell like PGnDV aint getting the respect they deserve, but believe you me, soon enough we gonna beat Soulja Boy on that ringtown download record he got. You aint seen nothing yet.
C2D: Any shoutouts to the fans and to the haters?
Professor Germ: Just wanna say wussup to all my people in Fairfield NJ, you know who you are.... mom, dad.
Digital V: wanna give props to my fam, PG, Vico Deine for them ill beats, PBR and any other cheap shit, them delivery services for ringin my doorbell with that sticky. To the haters - who's your A&R? A mountain climber who plays an electric guitar? Fuck yall. PGnDV out, keep your ears open.

Currently finishing off their 3rd LP, these monsters are still unsigned, surely not for long. Peep them at their MySpace page
