    Is Brazil's Mega-Blackout A Harbinger Of Energy Grid Disasters to Come?

    On Tuesday night, most of the vast country of Brazil was plunged into darkness for several hours when the power grid went down. There is no consensus on what caused it. Was this a model for infrastructure breakdowns to come? More »

    Tom Waits' Devil Beckons You To Enter Terry Gilliam's Dada Dreamscape, In New Pics

    Terry Gilliam's Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus may or may not wind up making sense, but at least its visuals represent a return to his surrealistic, mind-melty glory days, judging from some new images of Farrell, Ledger, Law, Depp... and Waits. More »

    Reality TV Host Boosted Ratings By Murdering People

    It sounds like the plot of a 1970s scifi movie. Brazilian reality TV host Wallace Souza was charged earlier this month with ordering his bodyguard to kill people to boost ratings for his crime-themed reality show Canal Livre. More »

    Yesterday, we looked at six characters who seemingly managed to escape virtual prisons. Now, we'll make it an even dozen as we examine another sextet of science fiction heroes that may or may not still be stuck inside their own minds. Spoilers! More »

    A UFO Lands in Downtown Nanning

    The language of UFOs is universal. That's why, when you travel across countries and continents, you'll always find structures that look like UFOs. More importantly, you'll find spaceship-esque buildings that somebody out there has called a UFO on Flickr. In other words: The only thing more universal than the UFO is the compulsion to call any freaky round building a UFO. Above, you can see a UFO that landed in the middle of a city in Nanning, China — captured on film by Peigianlong. Want to see more UFOs from around the world? Check out our collection. More »

    Paradise Is A Lie: A History Of False Utopias

    If you're living in a shiny happy world where everything is provided to you, and your white pajamas never ever get stained, then chances are you're in a false utopia. Someone's going to be coming and harvesting your organs, or culling you at age 30, or drugging you into obedience. The fake paradise built on a foundation of shit seems to flourish most during times when technology seems to be solving all our problems (like during the dotcom boom.) Click through for a list of false utopias. More »

    A Water Bottle for Giant Monsters Showed Up Yesterday in Sao Paulo

    No, it's not really a wine cooler for Cloverfield. It's an art installation by Eduardo Srur on the banks of Sao Paulo's most polluted river, which was also the recent site of a toxic fashion show. Srur doesn't want to make the Tiete river chic, though — he wants to warn people of the dangers of pollution from non-biodegradable stuff like plastic bottles. We've got more images of this cool mega-art below. More »

    Toxic Fashion Show Celebrates Pollution

    Nothing like holding a fashion show in a toxic industrial park at the edge of the Tietê, one of the most polluted rivers in Brazil. Last week was fashion week in São Paulo, Brazil, and designer Cavalera decided to show off his retro-grunge peasant looks in a place that looks like an industrial dystopia. We've got a gallery of images from one of the strangest fashion shows we've ever seen — past or future. More »
