The leather jacket that has been the talk of the interweb all week has been subject to a quick re-edit. Even the miserable gits who commented so deeply on the subject of Urban Outfitters surely must crack a smile at this one!

Thanks to whoever took the time to re-create this. I’m sure it will not be the last.

It’s another sad day if you grew up loving hardcore punk rock, yet again from the hipster supermarket Urban Outfitters who have followed their sale of Minor Threat tee shirts with the worst leather jacket of all time.

This one off “Vintage Men’s Punk Leather Jacket” not only comes in at a healthy £233 ($375), but it also features child-like, badly hand-drawn logos of The Clash, G.B.H., Sex Pistols and Crass making a mockery of the scene that would have eaten the current fashion-obsessed Facebook generation twats for breakfast.

Avoid this cack like the plague to escape embarrassing situations in public.

MGMT are mixing it up big time with a brand new music video for ‘Cool song No.2’, taken from their new self titled album. Ever renowned for a mad video, this time around things get dark.

We soon find him harvesting his finds and transforming them into drugs back at his plush pad, however this hard nut appears to have a soft spot for a certain funky looking gentleman.
