No strings attached
Frustrated mother Nikki imagines a Pumpkin Patch design meeting: "You know the most useful part of the summer short for growing kids? It's the drawstring innit? So how 'bout this. I've decided I hate mothers, so to really piss off those annoying blow-dried piles of polyester, how about we just stick FAKE drawstrings on them? So they come in and buy a few pairs on sale, all a size up, get home, go pull the drawstring on little Bobby's pants and bam! It's just the ends sewn on ... watcha think?"
Selfie sticks endanger art
US museums are considering banning selfie sticks for fear of damage (football clubs in Britain are also keen on a ban, scared they'll be used to throttle rival supporters). "I am pro-selfie, just not pro-selfie stick," said Sree Sreenivasan of the Metropolitan Museum in New York. "I'm worried about visitor safety and protecting our art." Even before there were selfie sticks, museums have had run-ins with inattentive guests who damage the art. In 2010 at the Met, a woman fell and put a 15cm tear into Pablo Picasso's The Actor. In 2006, a guest with a loose shoelace fell down a staircase and "totally demolished" three Qing vases at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England. And the Milwaukee Art Museum 2006 annual report refers to the bronze statue Standing Woman being groped and vomited upon. (Via mashable.com)
