Tesla’s Coming Out With A New Model And Coming Down On Its Price (Video)

It’s no longer a game…no longer a pipe dream. The new Tesla hits production lines in 2017; so sayeth Elon Musk. And before you suck your teeth and go, “So what? Another electric car that no regular person can afford,” ask yourself if you can scrape up $1000 down for a brand new car of the future. That’s the ‘reserve’ fee. Price tag is $35,000…confirmed. And with tax breaks, get yourself one for $25,000.

Price is no longer an object. Watch.

(FYI… that is NOT the car in the video… Tesla’s not giving us that early a look.)

Ghostface Gets At Back Martin Shkreli With His Own ‘Goons’ And ‘Goo’ (Video)

Stop f#cking around and grow the f#ck up…BE A MAN!

It’s the clap back at Millionaire Martin for all that reckless talk… But not how you think. Interesting. Verrrry interesting. The Hip-Hop Nation might’ve expected Ghost to go hard at prescription drug magnate Martin Shkreli. However, only the shrewdest heads could have thought it though to come up with this type of battle plan.

Ghostface Killah strikes back at Martin Shkreli with the 5000% increase of Daraprim.

War is chess, not checkers, folks. It’s often about winning hearts and minds. So, to take the battle to where Shkreli cannot win (e.g. Martin ain’t winning anybody’s heart anytime soon), to paint him as TRYING to be the ultimate villain THEN clown him for that THEN bring in the ‘goods’ to join the laughter… THEN have one of them end with a teary-eyed plea to Shkreli (and his MOM) to do right by the people who are sick and dying in the wake of his greed (e.g. his aforementioned 5000% price increase of the HIV drug Daraprim)…checkmate!

And in the midst of it all, promote the Wu Goo brand as the ‘anti’ to all of that at the same damn time! Mr. Starks’ is showing the skill and temperament of a master… Shaolin technique is VERY good and his sword is deadly sharp. Well played.

Watch.

Barbie Doll Evolves To Match The Reality Of A Diverse World (Video)

Remember when Nicki Minaj used to holler ‘Barbie’ this and that? Were you mumbling (aloud or in your head) to yourself, “Cute, but not for real. Barbie ain’t shaped nothing like you, Nicki!” Well, I did. And arguments about cultural representation in our kids toys aside, I wasn’t mad about it. It just was what it was… like having a Black U.S. President. President Bill Clinton was pretty cool, and President Nelson Mandela had South Africa for us. I figured that was as close as we would get.

Then we got a Black President, but Mattel (maker of Barbie dolls) wasn’t budging. Y’all better chill with this sharp-nosed White girl with a tan and keep telling your daughters they’re beautiful. Yeah, it WAS like that. Then SOMEBODY at Mattel must have bumped their head and had a thought… Folks are REALLY not wanting to deal with ‘generic’ anything anymore, including toys. Music, Film and TV (the stuff with the characters that dolls mimic) has changed – lotta more shapes, sizes and colors in there. Parents (read: people that might stop buying Mattel’s stuff) are likely looking for that diversity in their babies’ toys, too. Looks like Mattel is back ready to do business…. and so #TheDollEvoles

(Smart business move. Miss me with any other explanation though. They changed for M-O-N–E-Y! That all. But at least our babies can play with something that looks closer to what they look like.)

Good thing, too. My Mom still collects Barbie dolls. I will be making her Christmas merry with some righteous Mattel newness!

Mercedes-Benz Vision Tokyo (Product Trailer)

Okay, Mercedes-Benz Vision is taking it literally. We posted about a Lambo you might try living with day-to-day, but how about a vehicle that is a ‘living room’ unto itself?

Looks like it approaches a minivan or station-wagon design with a coupe’s style. The trailer above hints at a vehicle that can provide a rolling room apart from the hustle and bustle of busy, busy city life and traffic (as found in Tokyo).

Of course, we don’t get to see the inside for real. Rather, a concept with some futuristic 3-D playthings. And no, we won’t elaborate. Watch for yourself.

How Would You Like To Drive A 2015 Lamborghini Huracán… Every Day? (Video)

We posted on the Huracán before. Slick-looking ride. Likely a steep price tag, but still made us want and wonder. If only…

Yes it’s awesomely powerful, but one of the things that impressed me most was just how much more livable it had become over its predecessor. But would you really want to drive it every day?

He’s kidding right? Who wouldn’t want that problem? Well, reviewer Colum Wood does make a few points above that speak to sight lines and safety in dealing with traffic on the day-to-day commute. But figuring what I would be doing & earning for a living (check that… how I’m living… LARGE), if I could afford to floss and fuel-up a Lambo daily… Yeah, lemme try this problem out. Vrrrroooomm!

Friendly Skies? Why Not Fly The LUXURIOUS Skies? (Video)

Wait… isn’t Four Seasons a luxury hotel business? Are they sponsoring airlines? No, they are booking flights, my friend! But the luxury part, that they kept in the plane biz. Immaculate interiors, in-flight chefs, Dom Perignon on tap; and all for only £60,000 (just north of $97,000 US).

Aw c’mon. You KNOW the Four Seasons isn’t cheap!

This Life-Sized R2-D2 Will Bring You a Cold Beer (Video)

Okay, we thought we posted the ‘ultimate’ Star Wars video already (see here). But this clip right here… this clip right here, maaaaaan! Let’s just say R2-D2 is no longer in a galaxy far, far away, helping light saber-swinging Jedi Knights. It’s here on Earth (for about $9000, in your home), helping you get over a hard day at the job by bringing you a cold one. Nice!

Just in time for the unreal fanboy hype for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, electronics company Haier Asia has created a mobile mini fridge life-sized version of R2-D2. Sure, these full-scale remote-controlled droids are $9,000, but they’ll cool your beer and bring it to you.

Rolls-Royce Introduces A New “Dawn” (Video) (Video)

Oh wowww. Rolls-Royce’s Dawn convertible is cool; like a sunset dip in a beachfront infinity pool (see the promo video to know how cool that can be people).

Food & Culture: The New York 21 Club Burger (Video)

A burger that looks like “ooh la la” will end up costing you a lot of “moo la la” (emphasis on moo) – 36 damn dollars though???? Salt, pepper, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, cheese, and condiments. Dat all… for $36. Breathing deeply…

For over 85 years, New York City’s 21 Club has hosted U.S. Presidents, Hollywood elite and titans of finance. Executive chef Sylvain Delpique talks about the eatery’s history as a speakeasy as well as his take on an American staple.

Yeah. You watch and figure if the burger is that much better there than the local spot up the block.
