An intresting piece of art in Berwyn, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago). Completed in 1989, it featured 8 cars on a giant metal stake with a purple Volkswagon Beetle on the top. The sculpture gained national attention when it was featured in the 1992 film Wayne's World.
In 2007 the stripmall/plaza where the Spindle was located decided to tear it down to build a new Walgreen's pharmacy (replacing the already existing one due to the fact it lacked a drive-thru), even though there were other multiple locations to put it (they could've just simply made one out of the store's abandoned liqour section). Protests kept the demolition of it at bay for months until May 2, 2008 when the sculpture came down. The Walgreen's was completed in 2009, upsetting many residents because the Walgreen's final location did not enroach where the Spindle once stood.
I was able to get a picture of the spindle before it was destroyed because this nation is just too obese and can't walk a few yards to pick up there medicine.

A Pop-Rock band (with a very Punk look) from England that originally existed from 2000-2005. They released the albums "Busted" in 2002 and "A present for everyone" in 2003. Their most notable hits include "Year 3000" and "What I go to school for" which have since been ruined by the Jonas Brothers unfortunatly. After the band split, all their members went their own way, with Charlie Simpson being the most successful as frontman of the Post-Hardcore group Fightstar.
Since 2009 their have been talks among fans and even band members of a potential reunion, though Simpson has made it clear he has no intention on rejoining the band.
Busted are a pretty cool group, but I prefer Fightstar.

One of the coolest modern Animes out there today. The plot is your basic zombie survival fiction; a group of people (in this case five high school students, a nurse, and later a young girl and a dog) band together to escape a sudden zombie infestation. This series also focuses on issues like trust, love, and the downfall of everyone's worlds.
Yes the series does have a heavy amount of Fanservice, but that doesn't take away from the fact it's a terrific, well written series. There are currently seven volumes of manga and twelve episodes. It's unclear at this time if and when the series will continue.
Highschool of the dead mixes horror, drama, and humor in a plot that seems incapable of disappointing people.

A cool new animated series on MTV (yes THAT MTV) about Mondo, a chubby 15 year old boy from New Jersey who moves to Southern California and struggles to fit in while trying to impress a girl named Jeena.
The series premiered on MTV on October 27, 2011, the same night Beavis and Butthead made their glorious return to TV. Both shows are a significant departure from some of the complete shit that's been on the network in recent years.
The return of Beavis and Butthead and the premire of Good Vibes might be enough to help get MTV out of the mud and return it to it's glorious format it had in the nineties.

A strict dress code set up by schools to keep students in line. Originally used by Catholic and Private schools, uniforms have become a growing trend in public schools since the mid-90s. Uniforms in Public Schools are often put in to cut down on fights, rough housing, and gang activity and boost overall student performance, which turns out unsuccessful more than 99% of the time.
Aw dude did you hear? We're gonna have to start wearing school uniforms next year! Weak!
