08 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well this is probably just the cherry on the big ol’ authoritarian cake they got going on over there, but hot damn. All the best movies had time travel in them.

This Is What A True Rebel Vehicle Looks Like After Battle
07 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s tough fighting the powers that be, and it’s definitely not a job for all of us. But these legends in Libya deserve fat pats on the back and huge cubans (cigars – clean your mind). They’ve just returned from a battle in the eastern town of Brega. Check out their vehicle – or what’s left of it anyway – and drink a toast to these brave chaps tonight at the pub.

Lamborghini Releases Aventador Concept Designs
04 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Lamborghini has introduced designs for the Aventador LP-700, successor to the Murcielago; it is a sexy car from a sexy company, so it is more or less fitting that the designs are pretty sexy-looking too. It’s named for a bull from a 1993 bull-fight, which makes this ethically iffy, but hey. Look for sexy images after the cut.

04 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
But they did, playing their last show at Madison Square Garden last Saturday, stretching the last hurrah out over a 230-minute show. Which is pretty long, as these go. They played all of their songs, and I mean all of them – from the Billboard Top 10 ‘This Is Happening’ to song titles I had to google.

This, apparently, is what happens when you let Zack Snyder write his own script without any male genitalia to jiggle in slow-motion – $19 million on the opening weekend of an $89 million film. This means Sucker Punch opened behind ‘Diary of A Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules,’ the sequel to a film nobody watched.

Hoo, boy. Somebody at Guinness had best be working on some serious back-pedaling. Rebecca Lanier just turned 119 years old, which should make her the oldest person now living. As the daughter of former slaves, however, she doesn’t have the right documentation, and therefore doesn’t count.

I am, on the whole, reluctant to write an article that does exactly what it says on the tin, but Elizabeth Taylor passed away yesterday, so it seems worth bringing up. Mel Gussow, the New York Times critic who put together the Liz Taylor obituary, passed away six years before she did.

China Tightens Electronic Security By A Whole Bunch Of Notches
23 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
If you say the word ‘protest’ too frequently in a cell-phone conversation in Beijing, your call gets cut off. No spice. We have pretty strict phone etiquette policies here at 2ov, granted, but generally we allow calls, once placed, to proceed without Big Brother intervention.
