Fiberglass, Submarines & Drugs
November 4th, 2008 by Alex
We all know the new hot fad in drug smuggling is homemade submarines, but have any of us ever seen one?
Well, here are two images fresh from the wire. A fiber glass submarine with 1.6 tons of cocaine was found and seized in southern Colombia. Good times.
One more after the jump…

Aaron Huey: The Afghanistan Drug War
October 30th, 2008 by Alex
Aaron Huey is a guy who can take some seriously good photographs. Best known for his Walk Across America, Aaron has been all over the Middle East - Pakistan, Georgia, Iraq, Afghanistan and others - covering items of cultural and political significance.
His 37 picture photo-set titled ‘Afghanistan Drug War‘ is of particular beauty. Here’s how Aaron describes it:
These images show poppy eradication in Nangarhar Province, East ofJalalabad and also outside Tarin Kowt, in Oruzgan Province.
Since his site is flash, I can’t link directly to the feature, so here’s the navigation path:
Homepage -> Features 1 -> Afghanistan Drug War
Go check it out and see the how a country most of us can’t pinpoint on a map heavily affects heroin production around the world.
Oh yea, all of Aaron’s images are available as limited edition prints in the following sizes - 11×14, 16×20, 20×24, 30×40 - and range from $500 to $4000. If you’ve got good taste, and plenty of spare cash, get in contact with him.

Get ‘Stoned’ With FUCT
October 22nd, 2008 by Alex
FUCT has dropped a new look at some t-shirts in their Fall/Winter 2008 release. They’re all bright, hand-drawn and definitely grab attention.
One after my own heart is the ‘Stoned’ t-shirt. If you can’t recognize it, take a long look in the mirror.
FUCT’s recipe combines one part Zig Zag man, one part Rolling Stones lips and one part lit joint. Mix that up with some bright colors and a checkered background, and you have yourself one bad ass t-shirt.
More images after the jump, including others from their line…

Death Burger, The Game Is On
October 22nd, 2008 by Alex
I’ve got 6 words for you.
The Double Bacon Hamburger Fatty Melt.
That’s right.
A burger that puts the the Fat Kreme to shame.
A burger that challenges the Luther Burger for artery-clogging superiority.
A burger that would make even hedonism bot proud. I can hear your heart trying to escape through your back from here.
So what goes into the creation I have lovingly dubbed the Death Burger?
- Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as bun top
- Cheese
- Bacon
- Four-ounce beef patty
- Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as interstitial bun (a nod to the Big Mac)
- Bacon
- Cheeese
- Four-ounce beef patty
- Bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwich as bun bottom
Want to know how to make one?
Follow the recipe for The Hamburger Fatty Melt and add bacon everywhere possible. You could also get topping happy, and add some avocados, grilled onions, or even use sourdough instead of white bread (make sure to keep it thin-sliced).

Banksy: The Village Pet Store & Charcoal Grill
October 20th, 2008 by Alex
Wooster Collective has given us a great view into Banksy’s first East coast show.
Unlike the massive Los Angeles affair, which theFreshscent covered here, this new Banksy experiment is in a 300 square foot store in New York.
Oh there’s one other slight difference… this show is filled with animatronics. Not content with graffiti, stencils, sculptures or Paris Hilton paraphernalia - Banksy unleashes swimming fishsticks, chick-in mcnuggets and more mind bending creations.
According to Wooster, The Village Pet Store & Charcoal Grill runs from 10am until midnight, every day, and is open to the public. Get down to 89 7th Avenue between West 4th and Bleeker Street before Halloween (October 31st) to catch the action.
I’ve dumped a boatload of media after the jump, pictures and videos galore.

Scarface Would Be Proud
October 20th, 2008 by Alex
The Mexican government is at it again, except this time, they’re the ones kicking ass.
Arrested at a lavish mansion, which even contains a private zoo, this group of drug traffickers doesn’t look too happy. Police seized guns and drugs from over a dozen people, including Colombians, Uruguayans and even an American citizen.
The crazy part is, I thought shit like this only happens in Scarface and other movies. Check out the mansion and you’ll see hand-carved walls, a lavish backyard and even a white tiger.
I bet they threw some bad ass parties though. Just don’t be that guy. You know, the one who gets all coked out and try and pet the tiger.

$130 Korean Burger, I’ll Take Two
October 10th, 2008 by Alex
Remember when we said tFS wasn’t just going to cover pot? Well, you should slowly start to see posts that involve more the culture of our lives as opposed to consistent doses of the counter.
So how does the culture part of counter-culture get expressed? I’m not totally sure, I think the best way is to post things that our editorial staff are passionate about, but still have them link back to tFS’ core topic.
I know one thing that all humans love to do. Eat. If you don’t like to eat, there’s a high chance you’re dead. If you like to eat sober, then I’m positive you love to eat stoned.
The tasty morsel(s) above is a $130, or 180,000 South Korean won if you prefer, burger from the gods. Let’s take inventory:
- Australian Wagyu beef? Check.
- Seared foie gras? Check.
- Shaved black truffles? Check.
- Lobster tail?! Check.
- Tomato? Grilled red onion? Asparagus? Wild pine mushrooms? Check.
- Watercress & shaved fennel salad? Check.
- Three different sauces? Check.
- Finally, french fries & ketchup? Check.
Get me a plane ticket ASAP. Cab driver, take me to the W Seoul Walkerhill Hotel, and step on it.
Since none of us can taste this, unless you live in South Korea and have cash to burn, let’s live vicariously through the tales of Zen Kimchi and Fat Man Seoul.
Serious amounts of food pr0n after the jump…
