gives more insight as to why Ernesto “Che”Guevara became a changed man from his journey. I don’t agree with communism but socialism is not a bad thing.

Tobias Wong - Protect me from what I want.
His ‘Indulgence’ is part of the ‘Just Another Rich Kid collection’, in particular the ‘Gold pills’ aimed to “turn your innermost parts into chambers of wealth” or make you shit gold!
Bible guns —- Robert The
a powerful weapon spiritually
In 1995, Robert The sawed a King James Bible into the shape of a pistol:
I transform books so they can evangelize their own relevance via their direct fusion of word and form. With my book guns, I find old books in dumpsters and thrift store bins and lovingly cut them into revolvers, automatics, and sub-machine guns. Vandalized and self empowered, they can assert themselves against the culture that turned them into debris.

Designer Wong makes engagement rings that can kill you. The razor-sharp diamond point is set into the ring so it can’t get knocked out when you smash someone’s face in, and the edges of the ring are really soft so it won’t cut into your skin during the pounding. It’s romantic because it means, “Will you marry me” but it also means, “I can’t always be there to protect you so if some jerk won’t stop bothering you, puncture him with this.” The diamond sharp edge will also cut skin down to the bone (with a minimum 1 karat stone – but the larger the better). Or it may simply be used to tag hard surfaces, like cars and windows for S.O.S. messages or that last will and estimate when pen or paper (or lawyers) aren’t conveniently around.

Ken: Consumption of luxury goods today is unparalleled, as is the production of luxury goods. Everything is being turned into a luxury item it seems. Hence, our collection: a set of objects that are what I consider to be the ultimate luxuries, as they’re really not necessary in the first place.
Tobi: As far as what seems to be a higher level of consumption these days, it’s all relative. We’re just buying bigger things. And more of them. My duty as a designer is to supply those consuming with something to consume. Just think how fucking crazy people would be with all that money and nothing to spend it on!
