Golden Security

Feel like being a twat?

"NYC based artist Justin Gignac is attempting to do just that with his newly released "Security!" pins. Best know for the Need (and Wants) for Sale collections, Gignac has teamed up with jewellery designer Max Steiner to create this 18k gold-plated "opulent interpretation of the shoplifter's worst enemy".

Security!" pins are now available for sale from NY retailers Reed Space and Poundcake—as well as the dedicated e-store. A veritable steal at $700 a piece—$550 if your willing to forgo the point diamonds."

So now you can splash $700 and still get arrested by store security for an "anti-theft device" that costs more than your whole outfit.

Then being released only to be mugged at knife point for said "anti-theft device."

This is what I call:

"Progress"...

Wasteman part 8.5

Just spotted these bad boys... oh yes. Kind of leading on from yesterdays "Wasteman" post. Honestly I'm torn between which is the most ridiculous.

"You can even change them while you're driving"
Glad to hear that... Let's hope they make an iPhone app [or iPad would be even better] for it - that way you can use your phone and design flashy rim logos, then twitter it to your homies... without even slowing down! Take that 'playa haters'!
Beautiful.
