Constructive Graffiti 2007-07-16 18:43:00 Both graffiti images come from JibJab today. There isn't any sign as to where or when they were taken but I still find them appealing.A friend of mine mentioned Hurricane Katrina today, hence this succinct reaction. Of course I can only assume this was taken in Mississippi or Louisiana, not too long ago.If you are like me, almost every day is a conflict of interest in some way. ...

Celebrity Mugshot of the Day 2007-07-16 14:32:00 This one is just too good. Haley Joel Osment, yes, that little boy who saw dead people in The Sixth Sense (via The Smoking Gun) was arrested August of 2006. After attending a Muse concert the 18 year-old Osment lost control of his 1995 Saturn station wagon (niiice), hitting a mail box and then a brick curb, causing the car to flip onto its roof. Osment suffered a broken rib as well as a fractured right shoulder blade. While at the hospital his blood alcohol level was tested and topped off at .16, twice the legal limit. Osment was also in possession of marijuana.Osment was released the next day and pleaded no contest on all counts. He was sentenced to three years probation, 60 hours in an alcohol rehabilitation and education program, a fine of $1,500 and a minimum requirement of 26 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings over a six-month period. I see drunk stupid kids... ...

Guilty Pleasures 2007-07-16 14:24:00 Victoria Beckham is making me sick. Everywhere you go her ugly mug is either giving that giggly creepy smile or her standard sour puss is staring at a camera somewhere. This is due, of course, to the Beckham move to the US which began last week. The camera-whore family is more than happy to supply interviews and to be followed by masses of photogs and reporters at every turn. Not to mention the fact that the entire process is being filmed for their stupid reality show. Posh is already making enemies by attacking American casual clothing. This is what she had to say to the L.A. Times:"I don't want to change the way I dress. This is me, and if people like it - great. I get quite bored with the way people look the same all the time, with the same make-up and the same outfit, and the same kind of hair. I like to change things around quite a bit.""They dress down quite a lot here, don't they?. It seems to be in keeping to go to Starbucks in tracksuit bottoms and Ugg boots. I have one pair ...

Motiveless Crime News Headlines Pt. 2 2007-07-15 21:20:00 Pakistan has been rocked by suicide attacks and bombings that have left 70 or more dead this weekend. Pakistan has experienced a rise in militant violence following the attacks on the Red Mosque as insurgents promised renewed violence in retaliation. A major peace treaty was torn up over the weekend which has caused some to question whether Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf will cancel elections in the coming year and declare a state of emergency. So far Musharraf has denied such allegations.Al Qaeda actions have been greatly focused on by the media this weekend. Less than a day after the Senate's upper house doubled the reward for his capture, Osama bin Laden has released yet another video on a militant website today. The video, which was undated and lasts under a minute, extols martyrs to the Islamic faith and calls upon more Muslims to take up arms in the name of jihad.West Nile infection rates have hit 47 this season.

Motiveless Crime News Headlines Pt. 1 2007-07-15 17:54:00 The upper house of the Senate has become exasperated that Osama bin Laden has yet to be captured. Here I was thinking that they had completely forgotten about him on purpose. Since Bush used his leverage to halt a vote on a change of plan in Iraq, Democrats are doing anything they can to continue making changes for the better. Recent polls show that 2 out of 3 Americans support withdrawing troops within 9 months but Republicans would sooner die then allow such a logical choice. The upper house instead decided to bring up bin Laden by way of doubling the reward for his capture or body, from $25 million to $50 million. Sounds like I need to book a ticket to the Middle East.George W. Bush has publicly admitted that someone in his administration "perhaps" leaked the identity of a CIA operative. The CIA operative in question is known as being in opposition to the war in Iraq. After the Scooter Libby commute, most expected Bush to feign ignorance when it came to any more of his mistakes, ins ... News Headlines

Constructive Graffiti 2007-07-15 14:59:00 (via JaciVico)I have to say this is perhaps more of a mural than graffiti. I wouldn't be surprised if it were actually commissioned. Notice the WTC towers represented in the background. Taken in Harlem, New York.(via ectomorfo)Great message painted in North London, UK. I would love to see a rendition in NYC since the US is starting to follow suit. Around 3,000 new cameras, complete with speakers, are being installed in Manhattan as we speak. Even smaller cities across the US are jumping on the wagon in the name of civilian safety. Big Brother has crossed the pond. ...

Celebrity Mugshot of the Day 2007-07-15 14:45:00 Today's mugshot is a double-header. Tim Allen is known for being in a lot of bad comedies and making that insipid caveman noise from Home Improvement. He is also known for being a serious asshole on the set. What most people don't remember is that he has a drinking and driving problem. The first mugshot is from 1978 and was taken in Kalamazoo, Michigan. After some tentative research no reason for this arrest can be found easily on the web. Still, gotta love the 70's mustache.Allen's second mugshot (via The Smoking Gun) was taken in 1997. This time he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in Bloomfield Township, MI. He pleaded guilty, was placed under a year of probation and had to attend drug abuse counseling.Makes you wonder why he seemed so jolly behind the wheel of his sleigh in all of those Santa Clause movies. ...

Guilty Pleasures: Weekend Edition 2007-07-15 13:29:00 David-the-Tool Beckham was inducted into the LA Galaxy team earlier this week. The site was basically Presidential in nature; limos, photogs, banners and confetti. Plus the stupid wife in the pink space dress covering her mouth like a Mary Tyler Moore wannabe.David Beckham has launched his own blog in coordination with his family's move to the States.Correction: someone is writing a blog for/as David Beckham in coordination with his family's move to the States.Michelle Rodriguez has a girlfriend. Good for her. Still, I would be a little afraid of that bedroom scene.An investigation has begun into whether Paris Hilton received special treatment while incarcerated. Well, duh. Then again she did have that mental/medical problem that miraculously disappeared once she was released. Maybe they mean "special" in the short-bus sense (if you get my drift).Lindsay Lohan has reportedly started carrying around Machiavelli's The Prince. Great...that means she is learning how to become the ruler ...

Friday the 13th 2007-07-13 15:42:00 Today, as most people probably already know, is Friday the 13th. For years I've questioned the validity of the superstition that surrounds the day so I took it upon myself to do some research. It appears that Friday the 13th is not, as most people believe, a long running belief that the day is shrouded in bad luck and misfortune. In fact no historical documentation mentions Friday the 13th before the early 1900's which lead many critics to cite media hype as the only cause for the phobia. Nevertheless, here is just an idea of what Friday the 13th is based on.English, Polish, German and Portuguese speaking nations are the most typically fearing populaces in relation to Friday the 13th. Other countries such as Spain and Greece have a similar fear but not of Fridays, rather Tuesdays that fall on a 13th of any month. A fear of Friday the 13th has even traumatized some people to the point of making it an actual phobia which is called paraskavedekatriaphobia (try saying that three times qu ...

Constructive Graffiti 2007-07-13 13:47:00 All three of today's images come from a wall that divides Israel and Palestine.Word has it that all three images were painted by Banksy, of the UK. That is some serious talent.Most people have seen this one on the net at some point. Banksy obviously likes to use children in his art. Then again, the best way to get a political opinion noticed is to put a child's face on it.Motiveless Crime is on the rise. ...

Celebrity Mugshot of the Day 2007-07-13 13:33:00 Today's mugshot comes all the way from 1970 (via The Smoking Gun).Yes, that is Jane Fonda at the age of 32. She was arrested in Cleveland, Ohio after getting into a fight with a security guard at the airport. The actress was booked and processed because at the time of her arrest she had over 100 vials of pills in her possession. Later it was found that most of the pills were vitamins and the rest had been legally prescribed to her. I miss the whole fist in the air revolt! symbol. If I ever get arrested I must remember to do that. ...

Guilty Pleasures 2007-07-13 12:23:00 A couple of very odd couples are starting to pop up in the tabloids. I'm leading with the most confusing of them. It appears that, behind closed doors, Matthew Perry and Meg Ryan are "canoodling" (whatever the hell that means). Insiders are reporting that they have been seeing each other secretly for five months. WTF? I used to fantasize about Meg until she had her face replaced with hardcore plastic.Adam Levine and Hillary Clinton. Who would have thought there would ever be a connection between those two? Both Clinton and Levine were set to have call-in interviews in Las Vegas this past week. Clinton was of course promoting her Presidential candidacy and Levine was plugging the upcoming Maroon 5 tour (I'm scouting tickets already). When Clinton's schedule changed she had Levine's people called and they simply switched spots. To show her gratitude she has extended a dinner invitation to the Maroon 5 front-man. You know that theoretical game where you get to invite 5 people to dinne ...

Hopefully the information provided changed some minds somewhere. High aspirations and belief in something don't necessarily equate success in the eyes of others. While I'm sure this was just a blip on the radar somewhere, I still spent a large amount of time on this. It brought a lot of meaning to my life and gave me a creative outlet that has been missing for some time. Yet other opinions mean a lot when it comes to validating what is worthy of pride. Therefore I must part ways with these aspirations and dreams. Good luck to all who have been along on this journey. I'm so sorry for wasting anyone's time. ...

Celebrity Mugshot of the Day 2007-07-11 13:28:00 Motiveless Crime loves celebrities gone bad. Hence this new segment where a mugshot of a celebrity will appear most days. Of course we had to start it off right by posting one of the most famous mugshots in recent years.This was taken in July 2006. Most have heard the story but in case you missed it; Mel Gibson was pulled over for reckless driving and when police approached the car he began spewing anti-semitic remarks. Obviously he was drunk off his ass. Now he is known as the world's biggest Jew-hater. Of course the best part is the mugshot, which was obviously taken before he had sobered up. Thanks to The Smoking Gun for the image. ...
