Among the tens of thousands of businesses affected by the disaster, Honda hasn't been spared – its factoryin the Ayutthaya province was hit hard, and in an effort to assure that damaged vehicles never make it to consumers, the Japanese automaker has begun to scrap over 1,000 vehicles damaged during the flood.
Honda workers have begun disposing of row upon row of Brio and City subcompacts submerged during the flooding using construction equipment and vehicle crushers to demolish the 1,055 vehicles. The tragic yet oddly beautiful gallery above chronicles the aftermath and resulting destruction.

Porn for Pregnant Ladies really made me laugh. For any woman who has or is going through pregnancy or for any man who's had to endure his significant other's ups and downs (while standing on the sidelines), you'll appreciate this hilarious set. It was created by freelance art director and graphic designer Amy Morrison.
In Spring 2010, the idea of The Boneyard Project was first devised by Eric Firestone and organized by curator Carlo McCormick. What the project entailed was the revival of "nose art" which was popularized during the World War II era. It involves reinterpreting the body of an aircraft - a sort of airplane graffiti. Firestone's concept has since evolved into a larger goal in which various international contemporary artists are set to redesign the entirety of old, out-of-use military planes.
Welcome to the Internet! These photos are classic examples of what the internet has to offer. So many pictures of moments that make you scratch your head laugh and say WTF? The internet is filled with weird randomness and these photos are no exception.
Here’s a story to put a smile on your face. An elderly gentleman (in the truest sense of the word) by the name of Anthony Pisano owns a curious little vintage shop in the back streets of Manhattan…..at least everyone thinks it’s a shop. It’s brimming with a kaleidoscope of treasures, collectibles, knickknacks, trinkets and vintage items – all safely guarded and watched over by his lifelong friend and resident cat. But it turns out that nothing inside is for sale and that the shop itself, is merely his home which he invites people into so that they can explore and put their curiosity at ease. Here’s what the film-makers say about the entire experience:

Take some intense and dramatic dubstep, mix in a rather chubby (but very very cute) Siamese kitty called Skifcha, include glasses & a hipster moustache, wrap it all together in just over 10 seconds and what do you have? One of the best music clips you’ll see on the internet this week. We recommended the following prior to viewing: 1. You turn your speakers up as loud as possible 2. You send this around to everyone you know. Enjoy!
Photo journalist Chris Arnade has created a moving and gritty series call Faces of Addiction, a collection of candid portraits of individuals living in Hunts Point in the Bronx, struggling with their drug addictions, each with their own tragic tale of violence, rape, abuse, poverty and crime. Many of these New Yorkers live in homeless shelters, derelict buildings and even crack dens and whilst they are aware of their choices in life and standing in society, all of them are grateful for the small things that they do have. Through his photography and story telling, Chris has given them a platform for expression and handled their often heartbreaking stories with a gentle and restrained dignity.
Most of us have had the traumatic experience of our parents fishing out those embarrassing baby photos (Ed – unless your dad happens to be Jason Lee) and showcasing them to a cast of relatives and friends, your bad fashion sense & even worst haircut are all proudly on display. Not so for Henry Hulin, who’s going to be able to sit at that table grinning from ear to ear as his mum Rachel Hulin shows off countless images of him FLYING as a baby. Could he be the world’s smallest superhero? Probably.
It’s that uniqueness that sets Karl Lagerfeld apart from many of the modern day fashion designers. The famous German artist and photographer is best known as his role as head designer / creative director for the iconic fashion brand Chanel. But he’s also not one to rest on his laurels, he has his own fashion house, as well as the Italian house Fendi. An individual with unquestionable talent and unquestionably in-demand. He’s also quite the controversial character, PETA targeted him for his use of fur in fashion by throwing food at him. He called Victoria’s Secret supermodel Heidi Klum “No runway model. She is simply too heavy and has too big a bust. She is more bling bling and glamorous than current fashion.” and even caused Vogue magazine to walk out from his runway show when he employed strippers and adult film star Moana Pozzi to model his designs. And recently when talking about Grammy award-winning singer Adele he stated “She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.” Here’s a few other controversial views from the man himself. On weight: “No one wants to see curvy women. You’ve got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying thin models are ugly. Fashion is about dreams and illusions.” Source: Focus magazine On vanity: “Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people… the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life… they are mean and they want to kill you.” Source: Vogue, April 2003 On sex: “I personally only like high-class escorts. I don’t like sleeping with people I really love. I don’t want to sleep with them because sex cannot last, but affection can last forever. I think this is healthy. And for the way the rich live, this is possible.” Source: Vice magazine Now whilst you may or may not agree with his views, one thing is for certain, you simply cannot deny his talent, presence and character – in this rather odd (yet fascinating video) Lagerfeld actually interviews himself, about himself. It makes for surreal viewing finding out what makes him tick, his outlook on fashion and art and more. Enjoy.
I'm a huge fan of UK illustrator Hattie Stewart (after becoming an internet crusader, you become a huge fan of a bunch of artists) and her transformative work. Her idea is simple, to take those everyday cliché fashion / style magazines and rework their covers into an incredible blur of pop culture chaos – previously stunning Photoshopped models morph into dark & menacing characters. Check out more of her brilliant work here and prepare for eye-candy overload!
Like all great artists, Cecilia Paredes gets lost in her work…literally. Similar in style to Liu Bolin (another invisible artist) Peruvian artist Paredes fuses together a combination of breath-taking costumes, patterns, body-paint and countless materials to literally make herself become one with her artwork. Inventive, dedicated and requiring a tremendous amount of skill – the following portraits of her work are as mesmerising as they are intriguging. Of her motivations Cecilia says:
On March 21st 2013 Believers from across Thailand traveled to Wat Bang Phra in Nakhon Pathom province, a monastery near Bangkok, to attend Thailand's Magic Tattoo Festival, to have their bodies adorned with tattoos and pay their respects to the temple's master tattooist.

Stuart Edge likes his video stunts. In his latest viral video he preforms a magic trick with a kiss.

What would you do if you went to buy a bag of mulch and when you got home you found a tiny baby squirrel in the bag? A squirrel so little that it was more of a fetus than a baby.

The Squirrel now named Zip took four weeks to open its eyes and now at five weeks is fully aware and getting playful. What a cute story.

Since the new North Korean leader Kim Jong-un came to power there's been a lot of tension with South Korea. The North has been throwing threats at the South, including the recent declare of entering a "state of war"! There's even a leaked plan of American troop targets, situated in South Korea. The main concern for U.S. is that if South Korea (their ally) gets attacked they will have to get involved. China and Japan are also very concerned, but so far nobody has crossed the line, and this might all just be tough talk. Hopefully there won't be a repeat of war, and the new leader will calm down with his macho issues.

To most men, nothing is sexier than a cute girl in a miniskirt. However, for most girls, few things are more irritating than constantly having to pull down that miniskirt that keeps riding up after every stride, and constantly having to make sure your lady parts aren’t on show for the world to see. The male reporter, Hatopon, who is no stranger to crossdressing, tried on a miniskirt to see what it’s like. The following is a list of the things he realized after wearing a miniskirt for the first (but probably not last) time in his life.
