Man, what is it with the Germanic countries. Probably the most horrifying story ever:

Austrian police have arrested a 73-year-old man who they say kept his daughter locked in a cellar for 24 years and fathered seven children with her, three of whom never emerged into daylight from their prison until now.

Remember that story of the German penis-eating cannibal?

UPDATE: The Times has a longer report up now.

Just in time for the Pope’s visit comes this vapid piece of shock art, from a Yale undergrad:

Beginning next Tuesday, Shvarts will be displaying her senior art project, a documentation of a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself “as often as possible” while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process.

The goal in creating the art exhibition, Shvarts said, was to spark conversation and debate on the relationship between art and the human body. But her project has already provoked more than just debate, inciting, for instance, outcry at a forum for fellow senior art majors held last week. And when told about Shvarts’ project, students on both ends of the abortion debate have expressed shock — saying the project does everything from violate moral code to trivialize abortion.

That’s the virtual basement of 205 and those two people have virtual AIDS. VLES stands for “Virtual Lower East Side” and is some kind of marketing website for bands or some shit I don’t have the stomach to investigate. I heard a rumor Vice magazine and Viacom are responsible. The list of offenses is too long. From the site’s about page:

VLES is a new music discovery community on the web, that is modeled after New York City‘s Lower East Side—a Mecca for young bands and music. It‘s also where artists, fashion designers, and party promoters mix together in a big network of trendsetting, partying, music-loving euphoria. We found those people, asked for their help, and together we created the Virtual Lower East Side (VLES). We hope you like it.

They should consider renaming to VSTD.

The intellectual giants over at Your Nutz are offering classic accessories for guys who honestly think that their truck offers the most convincing case for their virility. And the state of Virginia is trying to ban them! Don’t those congressmen know that freedom of expression takes many forms? Besides, testicles that hang off your license plate merely follows a long line of powerful, radical gestures like Calvin peeing on crappy Japanese-made trucks. Lend your voice to disabled, war-supporting pricks everywhere!

Julian Schnabel’s loathsome personage is endlessly amusing—and this great profile in the Telegraph is delicious. It’s definitely worth reading the whole thing, but here’s a couple passages:
