If you are feeling like a [...]

Politics has long inspired some great design from 60′s counter culture protest through Soviet propaganda and the more recent Shepard Fairy led Obamamania  we all bore witness to last year. When you believe in a particular position or ideology that passion to proselytize can bring forth some pretty emotional and powerful work that’s going to [...]

Commuters in the US, found out during Wednesday’s morning rush hour that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had ended. Global warming, health care problems were to be solved as well. Some 1.2 million copies of a spoof of The New York Times, dated July 4, 2009, were handed out by the infamous and awesome [...]

With only 2 days left in the longest election campaign the earth has ever seen both sides and their proxies are pulling everything out and hammering home their messages. Step into the fray that wordsmith extrodinaire, Saul Williams. He has put together this little piece as a call to action extolling voters to step up, [...]

Tristan linked us to these spectacular photos taken in North Korea and published on the Boston Globe website. These photos were all taken within the past six months – some taken from the borders, peering in, others provided by North Korea itself, and several generously shared by freelance photographer Eric Lafforgue, who recently spent some [...]

With each passing day the US election coverage gets ever more intense and more and more people get ever more frustated and just plain over it. It’s a bit ludicrous that for over half of the current president’s term there has been an ongoing campaign to pick his successor. And modern politics is hardly the [...]

We posted about this Obama dunking over McCain graphic when it was still a potential concept and expressed our love. Well for those of you who were feeling it, give praise to the good folk at UNDRCRWN – the tee is here and now available in 3 ever so partiotic, for Americans at least, colourways. [...]

This was just too good not to share. The Simpsons illustrate the problems with electronic voting. Enjoy.

How best to honour John McCain for his time spent as a POW? Something that does suitable justice to his sacrifice would be the obvious choice. And if it can claw back some of Obama’s cool ground, then so much the better. Well, for Orange County Choppers the obvious answer was a fully tricked out [...]

Music producer James Sanger (who’s worked with such artists as Dido, The Cure, The Cardigans and Tricky) plays a brilliant prank in his hometown of Bournemouth, UK. In an attempt to make a clear statement about the over-surveillance of the public in the UK, they put together a fairly funny looking 8-foot Predator-esque alien and [...]

Lest anyone accuse DEGOURGET of Obama favouritism* given the recent run of Obama gadgets and designs we’ve run here in the past, here’s a little bit of gadget action for the born again, book banning, foetus protectors amongst you. You can own your very own Sarah Palin Action Figure today thanks to the good folks [...]

The Noko Jeans project has sent my imagination running wild and my jealousy levels through the roof. Run by three Swedish guys with a self-described background in PR and advertising, it’s a company set up for the purpose of making jeans in North Korea. Or as they describe it: Noko Jeans is our attempt to [...]

Here’s one for the budding photographers amongst you -LabourStart, “where trade unionists start their day on the net”, apparently, has a contest up on Flickr. The LabourStart Labour Photo of the Year Contest wants your photos. Which photos I hear you ask? “Photos should be, very broadly, of union members in action. At work, in [...]

Today Anna attempts to outdo thedirtymexican’s anti-christian rant by pouring a bit of hate on pet lovers Can you believe the domestic pussy is threatening the entire eco-system? And no, this time it’s not about Fluffy sneaking out at night and ripping into the local wildlife. Apparently the average feline’s appetite for premium food products [...]

Yet more controversial American political drama for you. The latest trailer for Oliver Stone’s W. is out. Now, on the one hand I harbour an intense dislike for Dubya and all his presidency stands for, but on the other, the notion of paying out someone for their hard partying youth just doesn’t sit well with [...]
