U Can't Handle The Truth

New for the Month of MAY is U Can't Handle The Truth
The Truth - we all are in search of it! People have been trying to uncover the truth to many of life's questions:

If drinking and driving is illegal, why do bars have parking lots?
How can there be a limited lifetime warranty?
Is there another word for synonym?
At a movie theater which arm rest is yours?

The list of questions goes on and on, but the truth is...
"You Can't Handle The Truth"

The News SUCKS!!

The more I watch the news the more I realize that it SUCKS! Now let me clarify myself more maturely. I have noticed a steady decline in the quality of the stories that major new channels are reporting on. They basically are just reporting on "SCARE-stories" that make people want to pack their belongings and run for the hills. Ever wonder why we are now seeing so many anti-depressant drugs being advertised on TV? There is always some silly story on the news like: Why living in the city is KILLING you, What foods may be DANGEROUS to your health or Why driving is DEADLIER than ever?

Don't even get me started on this whole "Swine Flu" thing that has people walking around wearing surgical masks!

Although there may be truth to some of these stories, who wants to hear this every single day? Why not report on people or organizations from our area, nation or even worldwide that are doing something positive. Don't tell me that Oprah has completely cornered the market on positive and motivational stories! News stations need to get back to reporting NEWS-WORTHY stories again. I challenge you to watch the news today, and keep track of the amount of negative stories to positive stories. You will be surprised at the enormous disparity between the two. [end of rant]

"Pigeons Love NY" RESTOCKED!!

Due to the overwhelming response to our "Pigeons Love NY" we had to reprint another run of these tees. My inbox has nearly self-destructed from all the comments and orders! We have been working like crazy to answer all comments and full orders. But all this craziness got me thinking about a contest!

We want some pictures of you guys in our tees for our blog. Put on one of our tees and do something totally random and take a pic. I'll send the person with the best pic a free tee... that's right a FREE TEE! So strike a pose and say "Cheeessse."

Pigeon Love NY

"Pigeons Love NY" is one of our newest designs, but I wanted to shed some light on the inspiration for this design.

Recently NY councilman Simcha Felder has proposed that the city impose a $1,000 fine for anyone caught feeding pigeons.... come on? He figures that this will control the population of pigeons in New York? If I were to list the top 5 things that people identify with New York-- our dirty feathery friends would have to be on that list!

Here's my list:
1. Times Square
2. horrendous traffic
3. street meat and pretzels
4. skyscrapers and...
5. PIGEONS !!!

Did you know that our state bird is the Eastern Bluebird... WHAT? I have never seen an eastern bluebird walking around on the sidewalks of New York, but I've seen plenty of pigeons! These foul birds have been a fixture here in NY for over a century. Our new state bird should be the Manhattan Pigeon! Send a letter to City Hall demanding to make the pigeon our new state bird.

And the winner is....

Congratulations on winning our first contest! You have won the ALPHABET tee and a rather interesting "random object" that I hope you have room for it on a shelf... hmmm, what can it be? You have to send us some pics for the blog after it arrives!

Be on the lookout for the next contest.... I already dropped a hint about it last week! Peace

Quickstrike CONTEST!

So you might be thinking, "What is a 'quickstrike' contest?" Well a quickstrike contest is a contest that happens without much, or any, warning. I might hint about it in blog posts, orders, e-mails... anywhere! We love contests here at Random Objects! I have been hinting about this contest for a while, and I have been getting e-mails asking about when it was coming. Well, the wait is over... IT'S CONTEST TIME!

The premise of the contest is simple: try to correctly identify all nine fonts in the "Alphabet" design. Here is a detailed pic of the design...



Whoever gets the closest to the correct answers by March 4 will win a free "Alphabet" tee and "a random object"... win to find out what it is! A winner will be selected and announced here on the blog on March 5, 2009. send entries to: randomobjects1@gmail.com

Good Luck, and be on the lookout for clues to other upcoming quickstrike contests. Peace

Obama's luxury TANK

If you are going to be the president of the United States of America, you might as well roll in style. Obama's vehicle is like a limo on steroids. It has it's own oxygen supply and get ready... bottles of the presidents blood in case he needs an emergency transfusion! WHAT? I bet your tricked out Honda doesn't have that.
