...RudeBwoy entertainment crew take over Texas, waking up in a smoked-out room and pushing off their hos to take to the streets. A day in the life of these “phresh” rappers includes standing in front of their expensive cars, caressing their “Dougie” hairstyles, and hitting up the club—where they further caress their “Dougie” hairstyles. In between are token hip-hop video screenshots: the rappers’ faces complete with shades, grillz, and bling juxtaposed with scrolling close-ups of well-oiled...
...showdown with Grendma, he's simply out of his shallows. She appears to him drenched in gold, with high-heeled feet and nipples pert enough to hang a horseshoe on. When her hand touches Beowulf's sword, it turns to water, even as his resolve melts away at her caress.

When half of the world population is without potable water, a famous architect spends his time putting on the market, for $2,090, a faucet that one can "caress" instead of turning its knobs. The African women carrying buckets of unclean water on their heads for long distances would certainly appreciate the possibility of turning knobs even if, in the eyes of Nouvel, it is archaic. May I suggest that 50% of the price of that contraption be given...
