We hate to ruin your pool party, but it's the dog days of summer and that means it's time to start preparations for your Back to School image revival. Sure, last year your attempts at becoming a new person may not have been wildly successful. That cream-colored, knockoff Gucci suit didn't make you look like Bieber. Those over-sized sunglasses looked your grandma's more than Kanye's. And those skinny jeans showed off your butt-crack with every long stride you took. Unfortunately, your style choices landed you below even "The Inbetweeners" on the social ladder.

Lucky for you, each new school year provides an opportunity to remake your image and we're here to help you out. Rather than go "Lil Wayne" with your fashion, let's bring things Back to Cool with these eight products.

1. UA Spine RPM Running Shoes

The new UA Spine RPM running shoes from Under Armour are the perfect place to start. They're lightweight, flexible and prove your feet can look damn good while still being comfortable. Whether you're an athlete or not, these shoes will inspire you to work out and get in shape after all the summer barbequing. The Micro G® foam encapsulated within the chassis delivers solid rebound and makes running feel easy. Plus, they're unique without being over-the-top.

Headphone Designs For Each Member Of Wu-Tang Clan

Posted 4/20/12 5:00 pm EST by in Celebs, Gear, Hip-hop, Music

The good folks at Karmaloop were nice enough to send MTV Clutch a pair of Chambers by RZA. The sleek look and active noise cancellation make them a perfect fit for RZA, the man who spearheaded Wu-Tang Clan's look and sound. The Rzarector has now joined the hip-hop headphone game with fellow MC-businessmen Dr. Dre, 50 Cent and Ludacris. But considering that cash rules everything around them, the Wu-Tang cohorts will surely want to get their hands on some ear-rattling action.

Since we're such fans of Chamber by RZA, we decided to brainstorm concept headphones for each of the other nine Wu-Tang Clan members: Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, GZA, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Masta Killa, Raekwon, U-God and even Ol' Dirty Bastard. Obviously, these individualized 'phones are just cartoon prototypes, but if a company like Beats by Dre or Skullcandy decides to use one of our ideas, at least kick us some free pairs.

10 Most Ridiculous Rubbers

Posted 4/20/12 2:00 pm EST by in Funny, Gear

Despite serving a very important purpose, condoms are inherently kind of funny. Admit it, you don't see a condom dispenser in a gas station bathroom and think, "Man, what a great contribution to the world's safe sex practices campaign. Way to go, scientists!"

No, you laughed  for one of three reasons. First, just the basic concept of the condom is silly. It's a rubber, tube-shaped love helmet for your penis. Second, no matter how old you are, you're never going to shed that ounce of immaturity that causes you to chuckle every time you hear or see something concerning a person's nether regions. And third, condom manufacturers, in aggressive attempts to get your attention and boost sales, add to the overall hilarity by flooding the marketplace with absurd product offerings like these 10 ridiculous rubbers.

Bush Gets Custom Snowboard With Hidden Compartment [Video]

Posted 4/19/12 12:00 pm EST by in Celebs, Gear, Music, Video

Anyone who grew up in the '90s is about to get a total nostalgiarection: below is a video featuring snowboarding, Bush's Gavin Rossdale and former MTV VJ Kennedy. So what could bring these three rad things together?

Bush partnered up with Signal Snowboards to make a custom board for one lucky Bush fan. Rossdale wanted the board to be rideable first, with design secondary. But here's the crazy part: he also wanted a hidden compartment in the core where you could keep a phone, keys, money or whatever else you didn't want getting smashed or jamming into your legs when you crash (which you will).

So watch Signal's step-by-step process for making the board (kind of amazing to see if you're not some kind of snowboard know-it-all) and the run testing to make sure the component is secure, as well as Kennedy unveiling the board to Rossdale.

9 Classic Toys That Actually Sucked

Posted 4/10/12 4:00 pm EST by in Funny, Gear

Americans buy a colossal amount of crap products. The success of QVC, SkyMall, eBay and Etsy proves it. However, no matter how many golf club-shaped kegs you buy, you will always be a savvier shopper than any child (even that talking E*Trade baby). That's why toy companies are so very successful at duping them year after year. What do you expect from customers who believe in a human-sized rabbit that poops eggs and sneaks into houses in the middle of the night?

You're thinking, "Whoa there, MTV Clutch! What gives you the right to s*** on children's shopping choices?" We know because we are children of the '80s and '90s, a time period littered with incredibly flashy but ultimately crappy toys. We were duped time after time, yet never learned. The G.I. Joe hovercraft didn't hover. The Super Soaker didn't knock opponents off their feet. Superman underwear didn't make you more attractive to the ladies.

While remembering the years of toy disappointment was horrible, we worked through it and have listed nine classic toys that were really disappointing at home.  To kids, they seemed awesome. To actual functioning humans, they sucked hard. Read More...

16 Coolest Rapper Action Figures And Hip-Hop Toys

Posted 3/2/12 10:15 am EST by in Funny, Gear, Hip-hop

You're never too old to enjoy toys. We don't mean adult toys. We're talking about toys and action figures that people of all ages tend to collect, and um, play with...or display in its original casing, like "The 40-Year-Old Virgin."  Hip-hop made the connection between rappers and toys pretty early on, and before you know it, rappers had toy deals to accompany their record deals.

It's still a recurring thing, with some mainstream rappers releasing action figures just last year. So to provide you with some more items to spend money on, here's a little trip through the history of hip-hop toys, with 16 figurines inspired by rappers. Collect them, play with them, do whatever you want with them. Well, not whatever you want.
