As Drawn! says: "Before you watch this insane music video by Jérémie Perin, note that is totally not safe for work.

As a little kid, I used to think electrical substations would make really awesome jungle gyms. This video helpfully demonstrates why 5-year-old Maggie was an idiot.

Michael Wolf took 100 photos of people living in Hong Kong's oldest public housing estate. Each flat is 100 square feet. Almost every room has the same kind of metal bunk bed. They almost all have a TV, electric fan, and rice cooker.
I looked at all 100 photos. Here's the creepiest room. Here'... More.

Sources say that the snake had a vested interest in this duty, as several pairs of the expensive footwear were made from close relatives.
Upon completion of this important task, the cobra quickly joined the ranks of those it had guarded, although it is rumored by those close to the situation that they will be 10% off in a coming sale next week.
Did you mean "venomous"?
Judging from context, yes. Yes he did.

Wow. They could have gotten in serious trouble for this. In the US it's pretty well established that you can't use deadly force to protect property. Here's a Wikipedia article claiming that UK common law agrees.
Why do so many comments have no vowels in them? Is it some new internet trend I am not aware of? Is it something in my browser?
Obviously it wasn't for protection, but a silly publicity stunt. And afaik, it's only illegalk when deadly...the threat is probably legal.
Yes, it's a ridiculous product in the first place, but for its audience, it seems like a clever bit of publicity and advertising to me.
The cobra being foreshadowing of the pain the shoes will cause?

Thank you No. 4: Some might whine it's semantic but "Venomous" is indeed the more correct identifier.
the shoes aren't //that// hideous.
alright so a little, kind of, but still.

OOOOooooo..........
What's the point of posting a link to an article that describes something you want to SEE but has NO PICTURES.
Anonymous #8, it's neither a new dialect nor your browser. I took the vowels out of those messages. Most people can read disemvowelled text, though it takes some effort. What they don't do is read it automatically.
Comment #1 was a cheap shot. I feel no guilt about disemvowelling announcements that Boing Boing is crap or that it's boring, because someone who genuinely thought that wouldn't be reading BB in the first place. It's just attitudinizing, it's unpleasant, and it has no other interesting content. Why should the rest of us have to read it?
The second comment had absolutely nothing to do with the entry. I think it may be spam.
And so forth and so on. If someone thinks they've been unjustly disemvowelled, I'm open to argument. If they just re-post the same comment, I disemvowel that one, too.
You appear to be suffering from irritable vowel syndrome.
