Kanye West T-Shirt Is Plain White, Costs $120 And Has Already Sold Out

by James Johnson

Kanye West Plain White T-Shirt

Ladies and gentlemen be prepared to be amazed, maybe even in awe. Rapper Kanye West has designed a t-shirt that may very well revolutionize the clothing industry. That’s right its the Kanye West t-shirt with a plain white design.

Yeezus posted the “new” design online and his masterful creation of nothingness quickly sold out. What’s most amazing is the t-shirts $120 price tag.

So what does one get for a plain white t-shirt designed by Kanye West? Here’s the description:

“Very loose T-shirt in Egyptian cotton. Short sleeves. Ribbing at neckline. Reinforced neckline and shoulders. ‘A.P.C. KANYE’ silkscreened inside neckline”.

To put the t-shirt into perspective, Kanye West just sold a $.50 t-shirt to a bunch of fashion crazed wannabes for a profit of about $120.

But how could anyone pass up the chance to own a plain white Kanye West t-shirt that has his name screen-printed on the inside of the neck.

Don’t worry if you missed your chance to buy the shirt, you can still pre-order his $265 blue jeans or a $250 short-sleeve hoodie.

You know when you walk into an art gallery and there is a plain white canvas with a very subtle off-white line running down the middle and the painting costs $100,000. That painting is Kanye West’s new plain white t-shirt.

With that being said, I have to applause Kanye West, he didn’t even have to come up with some BS reason for the plain white t-shirt. He could have taken the artist approach by claiming it was a statement on whitewashing or something else involving the color white. Instead Kanye just said “hey my name is on this and its made out of that rare material known as cotton.”

Here’s the sales page for the Kanye West hip hop t-shirt:

Could you possibly justify spending $120 on a plain white t-shirt that has your favorite celebrities name written on the neck?

Seashell

This is roughly equivalent to 'number of times I've picked up a seashell at the ocean' / 'number of times I've picked up a seashell', which in my case is pretty close to 1, and gets much closer if we're considering only times I didn't put it to my ear.

Um livro pode mudar a história da sua vida

by Amanda de Almeida

O conceito é interessante, mas a execução poderia ter sido bem melhor: partindo do princípio que um livro pode mudar uma vida, a Y&R de Beijing criou a campanha impressa A book can change the story of your life para a Penguin Books. A série mostra cinco histórias que poderiam ter finais trágicos, se não fosse um livro para mudar a trajetória de seus personagens.

A ideia me pareceu bacana e, como jornalista, já ouvi muitas histórias de gente que realmente teve a vida transformada após ler um ou alguns livros. O problema desta campanha é que ela ficou um pouco dramática demais, beirando o mau gosto em alguns casos. Ficou exagerado porque nem sempre a falta de leitura é uma sentença de morte e todo mundo conhece gente que se deu bem sem nunca ter aberto um livro na vida. É, não foi desta vez.

11 Spectacular Sunset Views Around The Globe

by Simona Ganea

The sunset and the sunrise are basically very simple and very common phenomena. However, they have always impressed us with their colors. The sunset is usually more impressive. It’s because sunset colors are typically more brilliant than sunrise colors as evening air contains more particles than morning air.

The sun sets over Santorini and gives us a glimpse at the stunning surrounding landscape

It’s these vibrant colors such as the intense orange or the red shades that mesmerize us and turns something as simple as the daily disappearance of the sun below the horizon into a magical moment.Even the most beautiful views in the world seem better at sunset. The colors completely change the atmosphere. Of course, it all differs with the location and this experience is always unique.

In Cape Town, South Africa, the best place to admire the sunset is the harbor

Stunning sunset views from Gordon’s Bay, South Africa

Head to the beach to admire the South African sunset in its entire splendor

The Doya rice terraces from Japan becomes magical under sunset light

In the famous Cinque Terre region from Italy, both the sunrise and the sunset are magical

The entire La Paz city becomes flooded in orange at sunset

Rome is even more stunning with the sun disappearing in the distance

The picturesque Venice bursts with color as the sun sets at the horizon

A stunning capture of the New York sunset in the busy city

Darkness falls across California as the sun leaves behind traces of color

Although there’s a very logical scientific explanation for the amazing colors and visual effects that we see every day, we are all just hypnotized by their beauty and stop everything just to admire them. This is a collection of amazing sunset views from across the world, each showcasing the beauty of this spectacular moment.

The Battle of $9.99: How Apple, Amazon, and the Big Six Publishers Changed the E-Book Business Overnight

by Cory Doctorow

Andrew Albanese, my editor at Publishers Weekly, has been tracking the antitrust action the DoJ brought against the big six publishers and Apple over price-fixing very carefully, and he's written a great-looking, DRM-free ebook about it called "The Battle of $9.99: How Apple, Amazon, and the Big Six Publishers Changed the E-Book Business Overnight." Here's what he had to say about it:

It is mostly about the backstory of the case, how publishers' antipathy to $9.99 led them to what turned out to be a pretty fateful decision. It is also available in all the major e-book stores, Sony, B&N, Apple, and Amazon. Amazingly, Amazon is featuring it on their Singles home page here in the U.S.

So one note that might be of interest to you, I was surprised to learn in writing this essay how little the publishers negotiated their initial e-book retail terms back when the e-book market was just beginning. And, more to the point, that the thought they did put into e-books was all related to the negative aspects of digital: how to stop piracy, DRM, controlling unauthorized use. This is kind of where this whole legal saga begins. When Amazon came to launch the Kindle in 2007, the publishers were so focused on the bad things that digital might bring that they never really considered, hey, what if this e-book thing really works? What if this Kindle thing takes off?

Remember, at the time Amazon launched the Kindle, the publishers were stumping for the Google Settlement, so their attention was focused more on stopping the digitization and indexing of long out-of-print books that were making money for no one. As a result, they barely negotiated their initial financial terms with Amazon. Amazon officials testified that, in some cases, they just accepted the financial terms publishers had already proposed for e-books, while publishers mostly sought to address DRM, and security concerns. No one apparently stopped to ask Amazon, “Oh, by the way, how much are you planning to charge consumers for our e-books?”

It is easy to say in hindsight, but the major publishers’ fear of digital piracy had kept them from considering the prospects of digital success. And, of course, all of this was exacerbated by the fact that the Kindle was a closed platform, so, the more successful the Kindle became, the more power the company had over the publishers' customer. As you once wrote, the DRM and security they'd insisted on became a whip to beat them with. Another interesting chapter in the way DRM has impacted the publishing industry.
