Shepard Fairey Tuesday: Paul McCartney, The Grown-up Beatle print
I should buy my Mom this print. She grew up liking The Beatles, and I’m sure she had some thing for Paul McCartney. Releasing in a small quantity at some time today is this show print for Change Begins Within, an event featuring Sir Paul amongst others that happened earlier this month. It comes in both Blue and Red (after the jump) colorways, and was printed in an edition of 600. Buy the print here

Discount Hookers in Germany
This story is a bit old but for those who don’t know, the global economic crisis is affecting prostitution in Germany. Bad for the hooker, great for the john.

“Berlin’s “Pussy Club” has attracted media attention with its headline-grabbing “flat rate” — a 70-euro admission charge for unlimited food, drink and sex between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
“We’re feeling the economic crisis, too, even though business has fortunately been more or less okay for us so far.”
Six hours of unlimited food, drink, and sex for 70 euros = awesome. That breaks down to $15.32 per hour for a gluttonous orgy, no too bad. I wonder if the dude pictured above can afford that?
