It’s Spongebob Squarepants on a skateboard, available as a Happy Meal toy. Thanks to Colin Sharp for bringing his whole family to McDonalds on a weekly basis and photographing this for me, becasue I wouldn’t be caught dead feeding this to my kids. – With apologies to McRad.

Battle of the blands

Enjoy, if you can, these two music videos with downhill skateboarding themes. I think the first one is actually a commercial for Kia. The first is Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl ft. Georgi Kay – In My Mind (Axwell Mix) [OFFICIAL VIDEO] Thank god. I’ve been burned on those unofficial videos before. I never got my money back, it was a hard learned lesson. The second video is for the song Puppy by Netsky. You can relax though, it’s another official video. (Don’t get me started…) – Thanks to Matthijs for having poor taste in music.

Authorized Devo

It’s another Kickstarter project, this time to fund the final editing an film clip usage rights for a documentary on Devo. I mention it here on Skate and Annoy partly because they brought Tony Hawk in to comment on the Freedom of Choice video, but mostly because I love DEVO. They make a big deal about this being an authorized documentary, as compared to the Devo biography which the band originally cooperated with but ended up denouncing. I spoke to Gerald Casale about it and he said it was “all bullshit.” (Yes, I am almost that cool, but not really, I just met him at a bar after he did guest vocals with Portland’s legendary Punk Group.) Regardless of Casale’s opinion of the book, We Are Devo! is a must read if you believe in Devolution. The documentary looks good from the preview clips, I just hope they don’t water it down with too many celebrity appearances. Iggy Pop, sure, I’d love to hear about how he turned David Bowie on to Devo, (or maybe even how he turned David Bowie on) but Tony Hawk seems kind of, well, gratuitous. Surely someone like Steve Olson or Duane Peters would have…

Errr… Grapple! (?)

Grapple. Gorilla apple? No, that would be Gorapple. Grape apple? That makes no sense, but it hasn’t stopped someone from developing a grape infused apple. USA! USA! USA! USA! Now they just need to make a baby version. Nobel Peace Prize or sign of the apocalypse? – Thanks to Justin Owen for the picture.

Tiger’s Blood Extreme Chill

MC is on a road trip, checking out some skate spots in Idaho and Colorado. He found Tiger’s Blood Extreme Chill in a gas station in Boise. looks like the proprietor put up a poster of his kid (or someone) at a local spot. Locals only slushies! I’ll take a large cup of Igloo Caps please.

Facememe

This gangsta owl on a skateboard is floating around Facebook. The real question for Skate and Annoy nerds is what cartoon is this from? Anyone know the answer? (I don’t, I just want to know.)

Drobo extreme steampunk

Spotted on the Drobo web site. A precocious little futre businessman with rocket powered wings and a skateboard. Be careful kid, or you’ll end up as a stock photo. Uncluttered version after the jump.

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus on a skateboard, sort of. Even if her boyfriend wasn’t carrying his Penny board, he’d still look like a douche. She’s no poser… two days in a row even. [Source: US Weekly] – Thanks to Mrs Kilwag for the tip.

Hosoi booked

Which is misleading, because he hasn’t been busted, rather he has a book coming out titled Hosoi: My Life As A Skateboarder Junkie Inmate Pastor which is excerpted on the Huffington Post.(?) – Thanks to Andrew Wahl for the tip
