Some photos from the opening of Kago’s exhibition at K-Space in Amsterdam on the 24th of April, where they not only displayed the man’s amazing work but said work was also for sale. Yes, that includes originals. The exhibition was presented in conjunction with Vice magazine, who recently featured Kago in their fine publication.

Above are two gentleman, Daniel Navarro and Jose Luis Sanchez, arrested in connection with the torture of cows, which led to the recall of one hundred forty three million pounds of beef, the largest in U.S. history. I’ll admit, when I heard of cows being tortured I expected to see amateur photographs of hooded bovines attached to car batteries with electrodes and wire. However, there are pictures of cows pausing “while eating at a farm in Sunnyside, Washington” perhaps to chew or perhaps to contemplate the mysteries of life and the impact of government corruption and impotent federal guidelines upon the lives of its people.

Alas, I can’t help but feel that the two moustachioed suspects above may only be pawns in a larger, delicately marbled and tender game. My only regret is that Ectomo’s font, unlike The Consumerist’s, does not allow me to properly convey the apoplectic outrage, and adrenaline fueled frothing at the mouth of someone who has just kicked a minimum wage Circuit City employee in the teeth for not honoring an expired coupon. Perhaps a redesign will allow me to properly bring injustices such as this to you, my dear readers, in the future.

No one is taking the future envisioned by 99% percent of anime a step closer to reality than Dubai, who recently revealed their selection for their newest “Look how much money we have, motherfuckers!” building project, the 6th Crossing:

FXFOWLE INTERNATIONAL’s proposal for the architectural design of a 1.7km (1 mile) and 205m (615 feet) bridge in Dubai was selected by the country’s Roads & Transport Authority in a major international design competition. The firm’s winning bridge design further advances the infrastructure and transportation initiatives in Dubai. FXFOWLE’s design makes the 6th Crossing the largest and tallest spanning arch bridge in the world.

The project is slated to cost upwards of eight hundred and seventeen million dollars. It will truly be a sight to behold, and will most assuredly be devoid of filthy foreigners and their legal, over the counter medication. Hooray!
