Welcome to Fantom Island, where iLL-Literacy's legend finds its habitat. If you've happened upon this portal, may we be as bold as to assert that nested in you is a healthy curiosity. Whether you were drawn here by the Slanted i at this page's 1-o-clock, the quick flash of during loading, or simply because you have a click-happy finger – you've arrived. HihowRUhi?
The peculiar thing about Fantom Island is that it is but a mirage – an Imaginary oasis isolated in the confines of our brainwaves. We shall gradually reveal morsels of our folklore here, so please visit often. To return, simply bring your Imagination as your passport.

VIDEO: Saul Williams explains his “Convict Colony” video, everyone is confused by the name
Last week we posted Saul Williams’ video for “Convict Colony”, and accidentally referred to it as “Convict Felony,” which actually just means a whooooole lot of trouble. We’re comforted by the fact that we’re not the only one to get this wrong, as today Kanye West posted this follow up to the video, but he called the song “Concrete Colony,” which could also mean a whole lot of trouble, because it suggests an army of The Thing from Fantastic 4 imperializing us all and making us learn their language and religion.
Fortunately, that concept might be too abstract, even for Saul.
