Shocking footage reveals tuna industry's slaughter of marine life

Pacific which deploys fish aggregating devices, one of the most aggressive fishing operations used by the industry in the face of declining fish populations owing to overfishing.

Every year or two, some new fad hits the scene and sends kids into a frenzy and their parents into a fury, and just as quickly, those crazes are forgotten as shoppers move onto the next big thing.

It's early days yet, but NPD claims that revenue from US sales of 3D TVs and standalone 3D-capable Blu-ray players has exceeded $55 million in the first three months of availability. Mind you, this steady growth comes despite the absence of some major players.
While that number might sound big, it's tiny in comparison to the total number of TVs sold each month in the US and, according to our friend Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis at NPD, sales are expected to remain small throughout 2010. Regarding those much maligned 3D glasses, only 10% of those surveyed by NPD cited "looking silly" as a main concern. Instead, the biggest concern was not having enough glasses on hand for everyone looking at the set. A concern driven by cost, undoubtedly, and a dearth of survey participants from New York's trendy Lower East Side.It's early days yet, but NPD claims that revenue from US sales of 3D TVs and... more

Eyeball tatooing: it's apparently a new fad among imprisoned criminals to inject dye into the whites of the eyes.

I knew it was only a matter of time, and now that time has run out. Introducing the Roulette Wheel Rims, by Lenso, coming soon to a rap video near you.
Lenso created these unique roulette wheel rims and if you're not swayed by the black and red numbers around the outer edge, maybe the Louis Vuitton leather finish in the middle might sell you. Even the company's name has been spelled out in oh-so-tasteful rhinestones if for some reason you're not getting the whole 'Las Vegas' theme here.
Leather on your rims, great combo. It's official folks, the end is near. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are right around the corner and waiting to swoop in and kill us all. Well at least anyone that would consider these things (this guy is a likely candidate). Okay, maybe I'm being a little harsh. Wait, *looks again* no, no I'm not. I knew it was only a matter of time, and now that time has run out. Introducing the... more
