Sorry thing have been so slow off the mark today.  Spent the entire morning on the phone to HSBC.  As I tried to explain just one of the myriad ironies of the bafflingly contradictory way in which modern banks operate, I swear this woman only understood the word “letter”.  So she concluded the conversation with “So would you like me to send you a letter summarizing what we’ve spoken about today?  Would that be helpful?”  Yes, please.  Can you also explain to me some other things, like what money iz.  Because I don’t understand it.  Nor do I understand law or economics.  In fact I’m a complete retard.  Good job I’ve got you monkeys handling my finances, eh.  Anyway, from the ridiculous to the sublime.  What do pets love more than a good comfy lie down?  That’s right, they love cinema.  Dogs, cats, rabbits, they all love a good movie.  In fact, my friend’s dog, Muffin is going to be reviewing the new Sam Taylor-Wood movie later this week for the site.  Seriously.  Now that I’ve said that, I’ve got to follow through.  This thing is called the CinePetLounger.  As a side note, you shouldn’t be giving a dog popcorn like that, unless you want it to poo what will look like a BMX handle grip.  Read more after the jump.

I “read” about Marisa Miller quite a bit, and now, you can too!  She’s modeling the 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fantasy Bra, which surely must be the greatest four words ever conceived.  Created by Damiani, the bra his hand set with over 2350 white, champagne and cognac-coloured diamonds in a harlequin pattern.  To people who don’t drink their colours, that’s white, yellow and brown.  Total carat weight?  150 carats.  Price $3 million.  Seeing Marisa Miller wear it?  Priceless.  Happy Friday – VS fantasy bras of years past after the jump.

The world seems to be going crazy for the new version release of Microsoft’s operating system, which has become the world’s most pre-ordered product ever.  It’s called “Windows”.  To celebrate version 7, they’ve teamed up with Burger King in Japan to release a special edition.  Yea, a burger.  The jokes are just too easy to even consider writing.  If you happen to be in/want to travel to Japan, it costs ¥777 ($8.50), and is 5-inches tall.   Oh, you crazy Japanese.  Why is it a good promotion?  Because it’ll get people on the internet to do this.  O GAIZ TEH JAPANESE CREAT TEH CUTEST THINGS EVAR!  ^_^

Haven’t shot my car load recently so here we are with something from Lexus.  A supercar from Lexus.  Yes Lexus: the people who make cars, so boring, you’ll want to crash just to mix things up a bit (stand up Kanye West).  So, this is their $375,000 attempt.  Yea, $375,000.  No pressure here, Lexus, but you’ve now got two seriously big hills to climb.  Pics, video and specs after the jump.

Turns out that a special collection by Jimmy Choo (posh shoes) will be available from next month at H&M (“value”).  Holy shit, H&M must be rubbing their hands like crazy.  When the news came out, ladies all over the internet were having a collective fit about this.  I thought Jimmy Choo was some fictional character, like Kaiser Soze, but it turns out that rather than a legendary criminal mastermind, he’s just some Malaysian dude with a head like an orange.  There’s a promotional video after the jump, but it’s all of 12 miserable seconds long, so I’ve added a little something extra to pad it out.  More after the jump.

Yanko, responsible for many a sexy product concept, now has a store.  Yea, as in store you can buy things in.  And it’s already chock full of awesome stuff, like the Sora pot we featured way back, these carga bags, and well, take a look.  You’ll need some equally sexy money to purchase, though.

This thing is a bumper boat apparently.  Ok.  Like a themepark boat thing.  With a grill in it.  And a parasol.  It’s $24,000.  I’m no boat expert, but I’m not convinced there’s value in this thing.  It resembles a plastic mould seat that you used to find in McDonald’s, with a £10 parasol, and a BBQ.  And a radio.  To complete the package, the boat can only be used on dry land as it has a habit of sinking.  And it’s highly flammable.  Those two last ones are a bit of freestyle on my part, lawyers.  Pics after the jump.

There’s a new hotel you know.  NO WAI.  WAI.  And it revolves.  OMG RLY?  SRSLY.  Of course, I’m being humorously sarcastic, this Šolta Island Resort is apparently the first revolving hotel in Europe.  It spins round at a force of 6 Gs and you stay for a week and come out the size of a midget.  I’m now a compulsive liar.  Don’t judge, I’m just trying to zhush this up for you.  Pics after the jump.

This is the MXXL 24 AH M-Cab.  Ok, so a terrible name by all accounts, but it’s pretty insane as RVs go, and besides, from the outside, with the sandy paintjob and Arabic on the side, it looks like a chemical weapons lab.  The most luxurious chemical weapons lab EVAR.  It’s $3 million dollars, by the way.  Let me tell you, they spent about $100 on the entire interior.  Pics and details after the jump.
