Demon is the Spookiest iPhone Case Yet
Want to get a jump start on some cool Halloween costumes for your iPhone 3G or 3G S? You may consider dressing it up in a Demon Silicone Series Case for iPhone 3G/ 3GS. It will transform your iPhone into a demon complete with ghoolish horns that stick out. It's almost like getting two cases for one price. On the front side, the design looks like your iPhone is being eaten, and on the backside there is an image of a demon and hands. The best part is when you turn off the lights the case glows in the dark. The Demon Silicone Case comes in blue, yellow, white, green, purple, and retails for $14.99.

Are tasteless costumes hateful, or all in good fun?
In October of 2006, when liberal extremist Bill Maher wore a Steve Irwin costume, complete with a bloody stingray barb protruding out of the chest, just weeks after Irwin had been tragically killed by a stingray...I was shocked. I found no humor in that costume, just purely bad taste.
On Monday October 27, Chad Michael Morisette, displayed a life-size mannequin hung from the eaves of his West Hollywood home by a hangman's noose, dressed and accessorized to resemble Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, as a political statement.
On the roof directly above the Palin scene, another mannequin, portraying presidential candidate John McCain, sticking half way out of the chimney and surrounded in fake flames as though he is being consumed by the fire. Although some people would see this as hateful (even tried to get it taken down calling it a hate crime) I saw the humor in it.
Comparing the two was easy. Steve Irwin is DEAD, and at the time his family was still mourning his death. Rubbing the means by which he passed in their faces is just cruel. The political statement made on someone's roof-top did not involve either living or dead participants. It was, what I would call ART, even if it made a strong anti-conservative statement.
What are your thoughts on this?
