Help Mindzai Kickstart The Lovebot

    The internet has ruined me.  When I heard Mindzai had a Kickstarter going to make a Lovebot, all I could think about was some weird Japanese thing that would fill the void of a significant other.  Thankfully I was very wrong, and Lovebot is merely a cute little toy with a big heart.  He is the creation of Matthew Del Degan and has been a mainstay in the street art scene in Toronto.  They're selling this guy as a DIY version, but I kinda like him just the way he is.  That may or may not have to do with the fact that I can't draw, and any attempts I make to customize one might look like he got tattooed in some sketchy dude's basement.  

    The campaign has lots of different reward levels, up to a 2 foot tall concrete version of this dude that would make for a pretty sick lawn decoration.  Visit this link and get one of these little guys for yourself.   

Mayor 4 Crack Kickstarter from Mindzai

    That Toronto mayor seems like a fun guy.  See, in America we all assume that our politicians must be smoking crack based on some of the horrible crap they do, but in Canada they freely admit to it!  We remember Rob Ford, getting caught on tape talking about all his crazy hijinks.  Then he refused to resign despite everyone trying to get him out of there.  Has anyone ever tried reasoning with a crackhead?  It should be an Olympic sport.  

    Now the folks at Mindzai are trying to immortalize him forever in plastic form as part of a new Kickstarter campaign.  I can freely admit that I never once thought about the guy becoming a toy, but it's kinda practical really.  Whenever you're feeling bad about yourself you could look at this guy and think "well, at least I'm not smoking crack and the laughingstock of an entire nation yet"  You'll be amazed at how much brighter that will make your day.  To get in on this campaign and help bring this figure into the real world, check out this link.
