Snitchville Retirement Rumors Found True

Cult Blogger/Internet star Wesley T. Owens has announced his retirement - at the age of 32. After canceling his European tour last month due to exhaustion, the tastemaker posted his final mix Real Talk '08 on February 11. The best-of hip-hop collaboration was co-produced with renowned Facebook impresario Kenny Grinderman. Owens, a Chicago native, was recently spotted in the city's trendy Wicker Park area giving the entire six-corner intersection the fucking finger.

You'll be able to pick one of these up at fine retailers (Urban Outfitters, Uncommon Goods, CB2, etc.) next holiday season. It's made from birch plywood and covered in green chalkboard paint so you can personalize it for your favorite snitch. I also set them off with 'real' fake Christmas tree scent. (Much love to GM Kenny for putting enough fire under my ass to torch greater Cook County.)
