The Target Ghetto Aisle.

If you've ever entered a Target, you may have noticed a bizarre section that offers merchandise for mere pennies. The problem is, 100% of the stuff on these shelves is unadulterated crap. I've dubbed this dubious section the Target Ghetto Aisle: it's cheap as ass, crowded as ass, and you can sometimes find meth hidden in places.

And the care that they put into arranging the merchandise! How do they keep such VALUES ORGANIZED LIKE THIS?!! HOW, JESUS?

Personally, I don't remember purchasing anything from these low-rent aisles. Well, maybe an emery board and a bedazzled Hello Kitty baton.

FUN FACT: Every year, over 3800 teens disappear when visiting the Target Ghetto Aisle and are never heard from again!

Next time you're at Target, take a minute to visit the Target Ghetto Aisle. You'll either catch some really great bargains or meningitis. And tell 'em EADJ sent ya!

A Random Surprise.

A few months ago, I visited Tom's Restaurant in the Upper West Side. It's famous for the exterior shots of the diner on "Seinfeld" and is also strangely the inspiration for that annoying Suzanne Vega song "Tom's Diner." So I expected the place to be covered in Seinfeld memorabilia and Suzanne Vega gold records. Wrong.

The only memorabilia I found was a Kramer poster and a couple of framed autographs. And refreshingly, none of the menu items were named anything like "The Newman" or "The Puffy Shirt." But here's what I did find:


What the fuck, people. What is that thing. Is that a 9/11 tribute, or a student art project urging America to stop littering? Did a customer just leave that on a placemat, using ketchup, blueberry filling and a black crayon? It's utterly stunning, regardless.


That thing is beautiful. MUST STEAL.

Ayana is just plain AWESOME.

But pretty much any costume besides Denise Levin stapling leaves to her sweatshirt and muttering, "I'm Fall" is a good one. Bravo Ayana!
