Eko STOP-light

Have you ever had some green, and then had to go out for food only to find yourself waiting for what seems like an eternity at a stoplight? Well... maybe not. In any ways I'm sure this traffic light has other uses too...

The Eko Stoplight from designer Damjan Stankovic is a traffic light that features a built in timer, which is displayed around the light and then counts down till the light changes.

I do think though that this might encourage impatient drivers to jump across before the last to lines have run out..

Again.. maybe that's just me...

HOMOPHOBIA: Corduroy Skirts are a Sin

An angry loser (right) came to Syracuse University to make a fool of herself by spreading pathetic hatred and was treated to a happy mutant style stunt by this smiling student, named Chris Pesto (left).

"I decided that because this woman thought it was okay to make me feel uncomfortable in my home, I would retaliate and make her feel just as uncomfortable, if not more.

This woman was wearing a ankle-length corduroy skirt, which, as we all know, is a fashion nono. So, in order to make her feel uncomfortable, I stood next to her and held a sign that said Corduroy skirts are a sin! I don't think I have ever drawn so much attention in my life. SO many people asked to take a picture with me, I got laughs, high fives and there were the few that even cursed off the woman standing behind me.

As I drew interest to what was going on with myself and the woman with the hateful sign, I started to draw a crowd that stood with me in support. Before I knew it I had 100+ people holding signs for gay rights asking people to honk their horns to support. I was interviewed by a news station, and more than 5 student organization papers, and the post standard of syracuse.

I never expected anybody to come stand by me and support and I appreciate it so much that everyone came! It meant so much and it proved to those ignorant people that we aren't afraid, and we will put up a fight.

I'm proud that Syracuse has such a homosexual friendly community."
