WTF of the Week: Motorcycle Riding Tent Posted: 23 Nov 2011 08:00 AM PST You've got to see this to believe it.

Motorcycle Exhibition Tickets: Brazilian Style Posted: 21 Nov 2011 10:00 PM PST What a great idea those Brazilian people had. Instead of sending paper tickets to people attending a local motorcycle exhibition, they sent a self-adhesive, nonpermanent, motorcycle tattoo.

His name is Mehdiator, and he's produced photos and 14 videos explaining why they are so deadly.
