Rocked by high unemployment, double-digit inflation and a shrinking economy, Argentina is now teetering on the brink of mass unrest, as waves of looting are occurring around the nation. This follows the largest union strike of the past five years that effectively closed down Buenos Aires for a 24-hour period. Opposition has grown to the rule of Cristina Kirchner as the government has been unable to control the crime or straighten out the economic mess. H/T Moonbattery

In 1919, the Surrealist Marcel Duchamp shocked the art world by drawing a mustache and beard on a cheap postcard reproduction of the Mona Lisa, and then appending the title “L.H.O.O.Q.” The latter blasphemy was a wicked pun, meant to evoke the French expression, “Elle a chaud au cul,” which translates as “She has a hot ass.”
Now, a Buenos Aires advertising agency has combined some larger-than-life Surrealist imagery with the everyday fantasy of making like Chuck Norris and kicking some serious ass. It might sound like a recipe for disaster or deviancy, but happiness ensues, and it’s all for a good cause — to market Diesel sneakers. H/T culturepub
