Supposedly, these are conceptual designs of Twitter and Facebook shoes by Gerry Mckay for Adidas. But I believe (I hope) this is the internet’s way trolling me and that these will never come to be.
It’s no secret that I’m a social media addict and that I loves me some Twitter, but wearing a pair of “Twitter Superstars” just strikes me as “social media branding” run amok.
Am I crazy, or are these really a step too far? Check out the Twitter version after the break.
From That’s Nerdalicious… While browsing the official Devo store for a suitable Energy Dome for his son’s Mark Mothersbaugh Halloween costume, David Pescovitz came across this Hot Dog Fresh cycling jersey, which will show people that you’re down with New Wave music and cylindrical mystery meat, while also scaring the crap out of neighborhood vegetarians.

I can’t tell you how long I have waited for a jacket that looks as good on a bike as it does with a cravat at some Eurotrash bar. Enter the Derny Trench Jacket.
Which team would you like to play for? The Death Star Dianogas or the Kashyyk Rage? The Empire’s jersey features the tentacles of the Death Star trash masher along with “Tarkin” and the number 77 (signifying the year of Star Wars’ first release on the big screen). The Rebel jersey features Chewbacca and the number 78 (Star Wars holiday TV special?).
Forget reflectors, as you will see in the video after the break, everyone within a 2 block radius of this LED bike helmet mohawk will know you’re coming. Wanna build one for yourself? Check out the LiveJournal project page for all the details.
Having GPS integrated directly into your goggles is probably the best way to receive location data while barreling down the slopes, but having a GPS display on your glove is probably the next best thing. The upcoming Xplore.XGS from Zanier features a monochrome GPS display on the thumb of the glove, making it seem as though your are super stoked about your run down the mountain (thumbs up all the way!).
The gloves can be connected via USB to your computer in order to download data, and the fabric is Gore-Tex so your fingers and the electronics should stay warm and dry. Unfortunately, no pricing or release date information has been made available thus far.

The guys at YesButNoButYes have put together a hilarious gallery of athletes and sports fans who are either the most salacious, or the most naive people to ever step foot inside a stadium.  As for our friends Dingle and Berry, as indicated by their coach’s shirt, they play for West Virginia—so we can safely assume that they are related in more than just the hilariousness of their names.
Do you sweat when you play video games? How about when you eat or get up quickly out of your chair? Sweaty geeks need not worry now that the Pac-Man headband can soak up any unsightly perspiration. Now those man boobs on the other hand—those might be something to worry about.

Okay, wearing cycling shorts is fine—if you are in the Tour de France. Otherwise, motorists driving down the road don’t need to see the crack of your ass as you hold up traffic. That having been said, wearing Pink Floyd branded cycling shorts doesn’t help matters—it only makes things weirder. And that goes for the AC/DC, Grateful Dead, Kiss and Rolling Stones versions too.
These beer goggles will do a good job of protecting your eyes when skiing or snowboarding, but I have a feeling that the ugly girl you picked up a the lodge might feel a bit offended if you insist on wearing them during sex.
