The DL: The Hives Staring Contest

Posted Nov 30th 2007 4:00PM by The DL Show Staff
Filed under: Album, Humor, The DL, Horrifying, Exclusive, Contest, WTF?, In-Studio

The boys on the cover of 'The Black and White' album stopped by The DL to show us Sweden's new national sport. It's a dangerous, take no prisoners game of concentration -- raw power like nothing you've seen before. If not properly trained, it can lead to blindness, low self-esteem and, in some cases, complete annihilation. In the end, only one will survive. At least that's how they pitched it to us. Who will rule the hive?

Bono's daughter, Jordan Hewson, was the target of an abduction plot in 1994. Five Irish criminals reportedly planned to demand $8 million in exchange for the U2 frontman's then four-year-old daughter.

However, according to a new book written by the daughter of gangster Martin "The General" Cahill, Frances, the plan foiled when Martin called off the mission after six straight months of camping out at Bono's Dublin estate. "It ISN'T going to happen," he said. Frances is the eldest of Cahill's nine children, and the Bono-related scam is just one of the many shameful acts detailed in her book 'Martin Cahill, My Father,' which was released last week.

It's only March, yet there's already a winner for Rock 'n' Roll Comeback of the Year. Fifties rocker the Big Bopper -- or, to be clinically precise, his recently exhumed corpse -- is back on the scene and causing a commotion louder than his pinstriped zoot suit, size 52 Husky.

One of YouTube's greatest enigmas stepped into our studios, disrobed, sat down and had a talk with Sara. So many mind-boggling, what the f**k moments went down that we had to present the interview in three installments. Brace yourselves for the Part One of the Mr. Pregnant interview.

Posted Oct 24th 2006 5:57PM by Mindy Monez
Filed under: Horrifying, Toys, Fashion

Sometimes Swiss designer Stephane Barbier Bouvet makes sweet things, like birdhouses with cookies inside of them, but sometimes he also likes to make ashtrays out of human skulls. Scroll down to the third item here to learn more about these "limited edition" human bone ashtrays, pencil-holders and photo stands. Act soon -- he only has 7 of them to spare, and no, he does not explain how he got them.

For the Hipster With Everything

Posted Sep 19th 2006 2:33PM by Melissa Olund
Filed under: Humor, Horrifying, Gadgets

It's almost that time of year again, and if you're already feeling stumped on what to buy your nearest and dearest hipster type, we just might have your solution.

Jack Spade's Frog Dissection Kit comes with a functional drawstring pouch (complete with ~~cute~~ totally tasteless illustration), dissection tools and a real, preserved frog. It's also the most foul thing we've seen for sale in recent memory that wasn't a banned item on eBay.

We'd recommend saving up the $300 and heading to Wal-Mart for a Zune instead.

WTF??? My mind is literally blown. Why, Bloc Party, why? What, you had to go with Panic! because the Cheetah Girls already had that High School Musical chick opening for them?
