Look Like An Ass, Keep Your Upper Third Dry With The Nubrella
02/25/2008
The Nubrella is a cross between a soft-top convertible and a polyvinyl diving bell. It's billed as "the umbrella of the 21st century," but we're skeptical.

01/17/2008
French automaker Citroen is all apologies over a recent Spanish ad campaign that depicted a sneering Mao Zedong with the caption "It's true, we are leaders, but at Citroen the revolution never stops." The ads hit a little to close to home for many Chinese, who posted a large number of complaints on Internet forums. Apparently, despite China's adaption of a free-market ... Read More
