Founded in 1854, Louis Vuitton is has become one of the most recognisable brands with its iconic LV monogram and logo known the world over as a symbol of prestige and wealth.
The logo was introduced early last century to prevent counterfeiting of the company's products. Ironically it's now the most counterfeited brand in fashion history.
Fake Louis Vuitton handbags and other fashion items are commonplace, however as these pictures show the famous LV logo has been used to brand just about anything!

Monty Python

October 30th 2009 10:36
Monty Python (sometimes known as The Pythons) were a British comedy group that created the influential Monty Python's Flying Circus, a British television comedy sketch show that first aired on the BBC on 5 October 1969. Forty-five episodes were made over four series. The Python phenomenon developed from the television series into something larger in scope and impact, spawning touring stage shows, films, numerous albums, several books and a stage musical as well as launching the members to individual stardom. The group's influence on comedy has been compared to The Beatles' influence on music.
This month is the 40th anniversary of when the Pythons first hit the airwaves.

Roller Coaster Pictures

October 26th 2009 01:19
Most modern roller coasters have an area set up where they'll take snapshots to sell you after the ride. These cameras provide mixed results, showing some people terrified out of their minds, and others so calm they have time to be smart. However as the last pic demonstrates, some people just can't handle it at all.....

History of TV Dinners

October 19th 2009 12:13
A TV dinner (also called frozen dinner, freezer meal, microwave meal, or ready meal) was first produced in 1953. The first Swanson-brand TV Dinner was produced in the United States and consisted of a Thanksgiving meal of turkey, cornbread dressing, frozen peas and sweet potatoes packaged in a tray like those used at the time for airline food service. Each item was placed in its own compartment. The trays proved to be useful: the entire dinner could be removed from the outer packaging as a unit; the aluminum tray could be heated directly in the oven without any extra dishes; and one could eat the meal directly out of the same tray. The product was cooked for 25 minutes at 425 °F (218 °C) and fit nicely on a TV tray table. The original TV Dinner sold for 98 cents, and had a production estimate of 5,000 dinners for the first year. Swanson far exceeded its expectations, and ended up selling more than 10 million of these dinners in the first year of production. One reason how TV Dinners got their name was their early packaging featured the image of a TV set. Another reason would be that many families would eat these in front of a TV set.
Below are some images of early TV dinners. Do they look more or less appetising than today’s options?

Banksy is an English street graffiti artist whose identity remains largely unknown. He started as a freehand graffiti artist in the early 1990s. Banky's street art combines graffiti writing with a distinctive stencilling technique and features striking and humorous images occasionally combined with slogans. He has become famous the world over, especially in recent years thanks to the internet. Banksy does not sell any artwork, only placing it at random over his home town of Bristol. HolyTaco recently put together a collection of Banksy's 25 best works, below is a selection. See the full set here.
