McDonald's Japan unveils Giga Big Mac

Why do Japanese people always get the good stuff first? McDonald's Japan has launched a new super-sized version of its Big Mac that contains nearly three times as much meat as the original. Called the Giga Big Mac, the monster sandwich has four beef patties, with a bun in the middle separating each pair. It's so big that the fast food giant says you'll feel "a satisfied sense of accomplishment" for eating the whole thing.

Like the regular Big Mac, the Giga also consists of lettuce, onion, pickles, cheese, and mayo. There's no word yet on when or if the burger will be made available elsewhere, but it will go on sale for a limited-time in the Land of the Rising Sun, beginning April 6.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.

This art installation aims to raise awareness on domestic violence

What you see here is an art installation featuring 440 pairs of high heels. The shoes were recently hanged by Turkish artist and graphic designer Vahit Tuna on a facade of a building in downtown Istanbul to highlight domestic abuse. Each pair represents one of the 440 women killed in Turkey last year by their partner or husband. How sad that is.
