Jail time ppl!

Following the incriminating rise of cost for housing + electricity, a few months behind bars does not sound too bad. (photo: Pål Andersen)

Halden`s brand new gated community (prison), provides flat screen TV for every cell, window without bars & a common area where 12 lucky law-breakers share a state of the art kitchen.

And the icing on the cake, a brand new recording studio + 6,1 million NOK playground graffiti. Lesson learned: Get rich…

or go to a fancy prison trying.

The Christmas Vandals pt. II

Its somewhat charming to “steal” a small crooked christmas tree…

If it stands deep inside a forest, and you have to use an axe to chop it down, then walk through a bizzard of snow for hours to get it home. (photo: Kent Jordet)

But its not under any circumstance ok to steal 97 trees from a hard working vendor, with a truck.

Thats a NO-NO!

Just too funny!

All publicity is good publicity

Acording to the stock market, it looks like Tele2`s agressive marketing is working.

*Stats form Dagens Næringsliv, March 27. 2009. (X-axis % growt)

Despite the fact that 40 % find Frank the black sheep more annoying than other commercials.

Only 12 % find Telenors commercials annoying…

Go figure.

This (tacky but cool in a strange way) golden goat T-shirt from Flyktingehjelpen, might calm your chrismas-nerves….

Don’t want to come of as a cheep last minute shopper?

Then, buy a whole FLOCK OF GOATS!!! The present to the person who have nothing, detoured through the person who have it all.

A gift that keeps on giving…

Vote NO on Central heating

admin — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:06:35 +0000

In these times of elections, its important to focus on whats most important.

Norway; Oslo, Ill say NO to the (economical and environmentally friendly) concept of Central “heating”. Which in fact is not much more than lukewarm water, sildering through an unattractive off-white metal wall.

When the temprature drops below zero, heat is needed the most, but the radiator, by no means HOT anymore! Useless…

NO NO NO

Lysefjorden, the new Las Vegas?

admin — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 14:09:58 +0000

Students from the Fiuni school of Architecture have proposed a handful of brilliant improvements to the rather old and gray mountain cliffs. Lets face it, you’ve seen one mountain, you’ve seen them all.

This Sky-walk would without a doubt be a convenient and beautiful upgrade. (illustration: Ingrid Caroline Vaaland, Gunhild Vaaland)

Adding a bit of steel, color and speed, would bring Lysefjorden to the next level of roller coaster fun. (illustration: Rolf Aleksander Svensen Mellgren)

But wait, where is the 24h troll-wedding chapel, with rentable viking-wedding outfits?

I guess, for those who can dream, reality will always be too far away…

Norwegian politics have always been sort of dull. But now thanks to the stylish politician Sahar Kanh, times are turning to the better. (photo: Bjørn Langsem)

Introducing flamboyant make-up, mysterious secret service/soldier boyfriend, enormous phone bills and psychics consultations.

Kudos to you for being interesting…and get well soon, Norway needs you <3

Even though extinction is a small price to pay for such silvery beauty, it must be prevented. (photo: Denise McQuillen)

Experience and support the “lion woman” Linda Tucker, writer of Mysteries of the white lions at Oslo kongressenter October 8th, 5pm. Later on you can hook-up with shaman Ailo Gaup at the Unity center, where he will talk about the rare white Norwegian reindeer.

Oslo Underground Fashion Event

admin — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:09:59 +0000

Not yet sucked into the alluring mainstream, after six years it still stays underground.

Such unpretentious events are important for cultivating and preserving “unacceptable” ideas, keeping young designers away from forced compromize and an early surrendering into the establishment.

Several of the designers associated with OUFW have previously attended ESMOD, the Norwegian breeding ground for aspiring fashion-icons.

Among them…

Ompa: a small shop located in Oslo’s hipster area Grünerløka. Selling self-made clothes, accessories, jewelry and vintage shoes. In harmony with their brand name, they are inspired by music, especially rock. If that`s on your I like list, visit their post-trendy website, a my-space page blasting annoying music accompanied by the usual unnavigable information mayhem. Enjoy…
