Juggalos Are Headed to SXSW + Delta Spirit Pub Crawl = Eight Items Or Less

1.  Sacha Baron Cohen, in character as General Aladeen from The Dictator, released a video statement from the Republic of Waddiya Media addressing the news that he'll be banned from attending the Oscars (General Aladeen, not Cohen, that is).  "While I applaud the Academy for taking away my right to free speech, I warn you that if you do not lift your sanctions and give me my tickets back by 12pm on Sunday, you will face unimaginable consequences!"

2. Indie rock group Delta Spirit will host a Brooklyn pub crawl this Saturday, February 25th during which time they'll play tracks from their forthcoming eponymous third record and, if you make it to the third stop, you'll have had the chance to hear the whole album.  The rockers will finish the crawl with a performance at Williamsburg's Public Assembly.


3. Paris Hilton (remember her?) has a bizarre new video for her spoken word performance art, "Drunk Text."  In it, Hilton mostly talks in her fake baby voice over ambient "club music."  She gives advice, defines what a "sext" is and shares anecdotes.  Enjoy -- with references to bottle service and "my bitches," it'll make you feel like it's 2007.

4. Check out these amazing custom-made bike frames by Paris-based art director Juri Zaech that spell out words and names.  [Laughing Squid]


5.  Whoops.  On Time's new cover about Latino voters they accidentally included a photo of a journalist who's half-white and half-Asian. [Gawker]
