• Prankster group the Yes Men stage a pretty successful hoax pretending to be the Chamber of Commerce. Media, per usual, are duped. It's the same people who brought us the fake Times and the fake Post. These guys are extreme at times but interesting, and they excel at flash mobs, a practice near and dear to my heart.

• Galleon's Raj Rajaratnam might be a fan of the Tamil Tigers. Things like this are always unclear, when an organization like that is so woven into the administration of parts of the country.

• Hot - Raj commissioned a rap about putting your money in Galleon. Apparently their "stocks don't miss" - is it too late to get in on this action? Sounds like a great investment.

• Gross - Dealbreaker asks, what else did colleagues do to Raj Rajaratnam?

• Royce da 5'9"s Street Hop drops tomorrow, 10/20. Him talking about it below. Bullish on this.
  

• Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day is coming out on 10/30. I'm almost scared to go because I so desperately need it to be unterrible.

• Mythbusters show that Chinese Bamboo Torture is possible. The thought of living sentient beings subjected to this is hideous.
• Other ridiculous torture techniques. I looked this up and wished I hadn't.

• Sexy 70s fashions: the 1975 JC Penney catalogue. Astounding.

• An awesome table; another awesome table.
