People love to get worked up about breastfeeding in public, but now a smart Etsy seller has the perfect solution to please both the lovers and the haters: The Boob Beanie. This clever deception will thrill people who are pro-exposed breasts, and provoke people who aren't—while also blocking your real boob so that the negatrons have nothing to actually complain about. The best part? If anybody says they don't like your baby's cozy and adorable hat, you can tell them to suck it. More »

We rarely promote random products that we ourselves have not purchased — and when it comes to stuff pushed at us by PR folks? Almost never. But. An email landed in our inboxes from a man named Whit Hiler, and it read: More »

The idiosyncratic but engaging Twitter personality known as @kanyewest has now had some of his best work highlighted by needlepointer Amy Sheridan. Sheridan — and yes, the particular pieces shown in her Etsy listing are sold, but she'll get you "a brand new one, made just for you" — has immortalized some of the rapper's best/worst Tweets, including "I specifically ordered persian rugs with cherub imagery!!! What do I have to do to get a simple persian rug with cherub imagery uuuuugh" and "Fur pillows are hard to actually sleep on." It's not the first time someone's Tweets have been given the embroidery treatment (@MayorEmanuel's love of coffee and four-letter words was immortalized in Aida cloth earlier this year) but the medium is always appealing.

True patriots don't sip their 9/11 wine out of just any old container. Thankfully, you can now express your true feelings about that horrible day by sipping from a $24 flask emblazoned with an image of Superman crying in front of the smoking World Trade Center. For some reason you now have to message the seller if you're interested in this item, but you can still show your support for the heroes by carrying your liquor in a flask featuring the raising of the flag at Ground Zero.

Do you enjoy Etsy, but wish that its photos of handmade cufflinks and macrame bags were a bit more alluring? The NSFW Tumblr Sextsy is devoted to finding the raciest content on Etsy, from crocheted nipple tassels to leather bunny masks. Please note that the models featured on Sexty seem to enjoy modeling lacy underthings, unlike the boyfriends forced to wear chunky knit caps. Adjust your crafting accordingly. More »

Urban Outfitters is denying that it copied Truche designer Stevie Koerner's state-with-a-heart-in-it necklace. The company, which is owned by prominent Republican donor Dick Hayne, points out that many designers have made jewelry that includes a heart and a representation of a geographical place, and that the combination of the two elements is essentially generic. (Which it probably is — no matter who came up with the design first, it is probably not copyrightable under U.S. law.) "We are not implying that Koerner stole her necklace idea from one of these other designers, we are simply stating the obvious — that the idea is not unique to Koerner and she can in no way claim to be its originator." Urban Outfitters, which has a long and well-documented history of pilfering designs from less well-known artists, also mentions that it wouldn't ordinarily stoop to publicly discussing this kind of thing, except that "the media response to her campaign is threatening to impact the dozens of independent designers we work with on a daily basis. For many of them, having their work sold at Urban Outfitters is a very positive turning point in their careers, and we will not allow their hard work and commitment, or ours, to be undermined by these false allegations." We reckon they're just afraid of Miley Cyrus. For a catalog of other, similar jewelry designs sold on Etsy and elsewhere prior to both Koerner's and Urban Outfitters' versions, check out this post on Regretsy. [Urban Outfitters] More »
