Another morning /Film video link: Star Wars vs. Rush Hour.
OK, so this is the funniest thing I've read in a while: Fifth Avenue Gazette: The Taint Grooming Issue (by Tommy Lee Jones). To quote $coworker "I laughed so hard I pooped a little bit."
I used to think that hard core wrestling fans were kinda dumb-asses, and after seeing a video where Wrestlers need a chair and fans deliver I'm both amused and assured my original assessment was correct!
Hilarious site I can't believe that I have never seen before: The Official Ninja Webpage:REAL Ultimate Power!!!!. OMFG that is funny.
Described as "when 1-10 isn't enough", the The Area Code Rating System is truly innovative! Who said that everything to be invented has already been invented!? Bah! I say.
Okay, here is how it works. Every human being on the planet can be adequately described using a three-digit number (i.e. area code).
See the website for details and examples.
Almost guarenteed to be the oddest Shaolin Soccer Japanese Matrix Style video you'll see today. Thanks Brian for passing it on.
Amusing story sent to me from a guy at work who knows what line of business I used to do tech support for :) Last Line Says It All.
I now have this image as my wallpaper at work. All hail hypnotoad!
Funny as hell, though if you're at work you probably want to use headphones.... Teletubbies: Shake That Ass Bitch. Thanks B!
Someone introduced me to fail blog, and my introduction was this Skateboarding Fail. Ouch.
OMG, /film points to Dance Off with the Star Wars Stars, a hilarious take on Dancing with the [whatever] type TV shows. Chewie dancing with a Jawa, that's all I'm going to say! :)
From the Onion, Steven Seagal’s CockPuncher Movie Trailer.... finally a role I can get behind Steven Segal in!
Toys for the Disturbed. Very.... disturbing.
So scary it's funny.... check out Overdue Retirement on The Daily WTF. A sampling:
"Backups: not a chance! When I started I asked about the backup procedures. I was told that all the software was stored on the 'software notebook.' Yes, a notebook.
*brain explodes*
I'm not a huge weezer fan (except for one song), but when Darren pointed me to the video of Pork and Beans and told me it was epically awesome, I have to agree. The Digg page has links to all the memes and internet superstars that are featured. Numa Numa guy!!!!
Hilarious video passed on from Darren - Hitler Plans Burning Man.
Couple of quick Indy links for ya'll
Just a little bit of naughty language, however hilarious is this "Piracy PSA" with McLovin, the geeky guy from Superbad.
Via Reddit.com comes this old (judging by the computer pictured) news article (assuming it didn't come from the National Inquirer) about how Hackers can turn your computer into a BOMB (emphasis mine). Nothing better on a monday morning than funny old propaganda!
Check out this LeaveMeAloneBox Video. This is a box with a switch on it that when turned on it does nothing but turn the switch off. For some reason I find this hilarious. Hit the main page for more info and pics, specs, etc.
An Engineer's Guide to Cats. Hilarious. Especially if you're a cat owner.
Oh I'm sure it's old but found a video of what to do if you find Naked Pictures of Your Buddy's Girlfriend via digg. SFW and very funny.
Sent by Mike at work with the title of not amused :)
Remember a while back a senator in the states quoted, or joined, or had something to do with the flat earth society, which caused a bit of a hubbubb. I read through the main page (don't remember what it is) and was amazed at the wackyness of it all.
Anyway, the latest nutso theory is the Time Cube. It has something to do with a four sided day, or 4 days, one day of a good god and one day of an evil one, or something like that....
Time Cube's ineffable Truth. 'Cubeless Word' is not Truth. Word justifies all human evil. Time Cube is a test for Truth. Circle measure is slop bucket. God belief 50% god disbelief. Truth is 100%, belief is 50%. Time Cube is Truth creation.
WTF?
As with all wacky websites, it's unreadable, a mix of fonts, large font size, lots of colors and italics and is pages and pages long. Don't these people know anything about public relations and how to attract people to actually read their sites? The site that is denounced on the main time cube site is even worse, with a far more vomit inducing color scheme.
LOL Together--a lolcat filk of the Beatles' "Come Together". I'm really not sure if there's anything else to say.... it's hilarious and surreal at the same time.
Ten Reasons Why I Need A Girlfriend at Duane Storey.
The Escapist : Zero Punctuation: Turok is out today.... awesome review as usual.
Found via reddit is a video of a live rickroll pulled off by rocketboom.
Bad Movie Physics: A Report Card - nice view of how good or bad space movies are :)
Valleywag is right, this Flowchart needs no explanation. Well, other than how to get it poster sized to hang over me while I play D&D on the internets with the google.
Hilarious rant from Rob Paravonian on how all music is all the same... funny, and with examples.
Rejected Cartoons, passed on from a coworker.
Very cool project from Make is a Serial-mouse-driven Etch-a-Sketch, via Boing-Boing.
Cooking up a Poor Man's RAID-Z with ZFS, USB Memory Sticks, Solaris, and VMware Fusion from over at the VMWare Fusion Blog.
Heheheheh, pic of what you need in case of Headcrab Infestation. Half Life understanding required :)
BankWest Singing Kittens. Just watch it....
Jimmy Kimmels F@cking Ben Affleck Response to Matt and Sarah. Not as funny or catchy (IMHO) as the original, though still pretty funny! Wish it was uncensored :)
Great video pointed to by Veronica Belmont of Jonathan Coulton performs "Still Alive" in Rock Band with a couple of special guests.
I found my next must-have knitting project (as I got a Dalek)... the R2D2 Beanie!!
OMG, this is the best idea ever!!! You have to of course have watched a bit of Fawlty Towers to really understand it.
The Escapist : Zero Punctuation: Yahtzee Goes to GDC. Not much more need said.... absolutely hilarious, anyone who doesn't watch Zero Punctuation, really needs to subscribe IMMEDIATELY! :)
Darren threw me a link to a Leaked RIAA Training Video: Find Pirates, Find Crack-Dealing Terrorist Murderers Too!. Apparently people who are music pirates are also generally buying crack with their downloads, while burning the flag with flamethrowers aimed at YOUR UNBORN CHILDREN.
God bless the USA!
What an awesome ad via WinExtra.
I resisted watching the video She's F-n Matt Damon, a hilarious video from Sara Silverman to her boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel... very funny (though not as good a song IMHO as Matt Damon's other great song "Scotty Doesn't Know" from Eurotrip). Not bad, not bad at all.
Conjugal Harmony has to be the best site ever... they should send the guys from DatingIsHell over there. I love that they list the convictions there too..... bwahahahahaha
Classic video everyone should see..... Red Dwarf: Smeg Ups by BBC Worldwide Sci-Fi.
My buddy Robert sent me a video of this interview, which I admit, took me a bit to determine if it was from a sitcom or a legitimate news show. Honestly it's a bit more sane that some of the news interviews I've seen these days!
It's stories like Do not run this script, ever! from Daily WTF that makes me think that we as sysadmins, will never, ever win. Also that the stupid people in the world are getting smarter, without actually getting.... smarter.
I asked what he thought when the script printed "DO NOT EVER RUN THIS SCRIPT" and exited without doing anything. The newbie said he saw that, but really wanted to see what it did, so he commented out the "exit 1" and ran it again.
Ugh.
I'm pretty sure this singer didn't see it coming, but luckily the music (and impeccable lyrics) kept on going without a hitch. What skill!
Cracked.com has the list of 5 Douchebag Behaviors Explained by Science.
Aperture Science Rocks: The Top 12 'Still Alive' Cover Versions. That pretty much says it all.... some very bizarre renditions of JoCo's "Still Alive".
Wil Wheaton points to a fantastic version of "Still Alive" (the Portal song): Alive . . . in Joust. Yes, joust, as in that Joust. Pretty awesome!
A Day in the Life of Two Portal Turrets via ShackBlog. Hilarious, though you have to have played portal to really "get it" all.
The Internet Party: What Happens When Google's Parents Leave Town for the Weekend?
Moderately amusing video with the personalities of the various websites around. I found the "flickr" guy particularly funny for the 2 seconds he was shown :)
Found a video of Mintys Comedian Of The Month May 2007 - Jim Jeffries and decided that Jim Jeffries is possibly the funniest person on the planet, regardless of his crudity. If you're sensitive to nasty words, keep on going, if not, this guy is hilarious, I was practically bent over and in pain from laughter for the entire ten minutes. More of his YouTube vids here.
One of my favorite Windows Blogs has a wonderfully cutting and delicious smackdown to the Windows Ultimate Extras team, around their inactivity of late. Just head over and read Hi Ultimate Extras, we noticed you’ve been inactive…
The latest Zero Punctuation on Silent Hill Origins is the funniest thing I've seen this year, I can pretty much assure you of that. And I've never played any Silent Hill game or watched any Silent Hill movie, so I'm sure it'll be even better for people who actually know what he's talking about!
I know it's not funny, but check out these World's Most Amazing Videos: Volume 1 over on youtube. Lots of smashes, crashes and explosions.
Inappropriate Children's Book Titles... hilarious.
I love cute things and sites like cuteoverload.com, and I do try not to post every cute link I see there, cause it'd be damn annoying and you guys can use the interwebs to find the tube that connects you to that site anyway. However, this video of a snoring cat made me LOL and LMAO, which is fairly unusual. So enjoy.
Mini Me Does World of Warcraft... not as good as the Mr. T one IMHO, still funny though.
The creator of XKCD Randall Munroe giving a talk at Google. Long (58 minutes), and very amusing.
Via reddit: chalain: Computers Fear Me.
I forgot Pascal 15 years ago. This is not the same as never having learned it. For one thing, you mutter under your breath a lot more.
Reminds me of some of the ugly hacks and screen scrapers I've done in my time.... :)
How To Spot a Cylon. We all need one.
Funny look at how Windows XP is a great upgrade to Vista.
Just for shits and giggles, check out the original Tripping the Rift animation.
Looks like the Daily WTF also sees stupid people in the post for plz email me teh codez. Same situation as I have with complete idiots posting follow up questions again, and again, and again (over 2000 comments so far BTW).
Darren pointed me over to Here Comes Another Bubble - The Richter Scales a great song/video on YouTube. Very catchy.
Another Laughing Squid Find is a set of videos of Daniel Chesterfield, Magic That Defies The Ordinary. Last video is my favorite, but you need to see the other ones to set up the vibe as it were :)
I present to you Italian Spiderman Trailer with no further comment.

Eight Classic Cinematic Verbal Beatdowns.... fantastic clips to watch, especially if you're in a murderous rage :)
New WoW Ads Recruit Mr. T and Shatner. Hilarious, thanks Darren.
Amusing, what happens when an iPhone Equipped Passenger Takes On Flight Crew Over Weather. Turns out that your iPhone telling you it's sunny when you're delayed on the tarmac isn't the definitive answer that you're smarter than the pilot or air traffic controller :)
Coding horror reminds you: Don't Forget To Lock Your Computer.
A similar method to what we use at work, which is one of:
Top Gear is a british show that I really love, and hardly ever watch. However, Cute Overload posted this clip of the smallest car ever which is hilarious. Not only is the car small, it's tiny. So small you can drive it to your work front door, then pull it into the office with you, up the elevator, and sit it beside your desk. Just watch it.
Scottish star trek. Hilarious (and completely incomprehensible).
Funny costumes for Halloween next year.... almost like a Home Zoo!
Sorry for the more Portal news, but JoCo posted a link to a video of Cute Virtual Idol Sings Portal Song.
Sorry for the lack of news..... been a couple of LONG days here at work.
I haven't read more than the headline, but when you see that GAP was caught using child labor to make GAP kids clothing you have to chuckle, then look up "ironic" in the dictionary again.
The JoCo Primer - Listening Suggestions is a great selection of music from Jonathan Coulton, whose work you'll be familiar with if you have a) finished Portal or b) are familiar with this troubador of John Hodgman (from the Daily Show and The PC Guy from the Apple ads).
Thanks Darren for pointing me out this guy existed.
As with the last awesome picture I posted, it's hard to describe just how awesome this is.
So, when did Luke, Vader and Chewie have a band?
The oops list is an amusing collection of "oops" pictures, comics, etc. Lots of aviation related stuff, and you know how bad it is when you combine "oops" with "huge chunk of flying steel".
I think I posted about this guy's review of The Orange Box a bit ago, well, here's a list of all his reviews, of which all that I've watched so far, are hilarious.
Press The Spacebar 2000, a flash game. So simple, and yet, so fun! (and potentially keyboard destroying :)
Wake Up! - the essence of catness. Spoken as the owner of three of the little buggers, I can attest this has happened more than once :)
Thanks Darren!
I thought it'd end up being a joke, but check out how this guy Played Through Episode Two Holding A Goddamn Gnome (note: some spoilers) to get the 'gnome achievement'. Absolutely hilarious, and skillful. Note that the gnome also has his own blog about the whole thing!
Some of The Best of Maury Povich, including such classics as the pickle girl, 11 paternity tests, and so on.
Amusing little thing: 25 Reasons You Might Be A Hardcore Graphic/Web Designer. Of note for me is:
* You’ve kept a ragged concert ticket just so you could scan it.
I still have the concert tickets from when I got into the second row at a Garth Brooks concert back in the mid-90's (and got to hug Garth Brooks's Mom as well, but that's another story :)
I wish someone had explained things like this back when I was younger :)
No idea where this is from, but this 2.5 minute video on What TOP GUN is really about by Quentin Tarantino is absolutely hilarious (and makes total sense :)
Readers of XKCD will be happy to see that wetriffs is live.
Comic from Joy of Tech to help you rationalize your piracy.
Cool look at where the best websites of 2001 are now: Internet Allstars ‘01: Where are they now? Interesting... most of the sites I didn't use, with the exception of a couple. I do miss the unadulterated music that was AudioGalaxy though, a lot of uhmm.... a friends mp3 collection was created with help from AG.
Dear Scott Adams, please get out of my head.
Perez is the best in celeb gossip, according to him. However, Britney’s New Nickname is hilarious. "Unfitney". Ha!

furries vs klingons.... a greater nerd-fest I cannot imagine.
For the Birds, video of shoplifting seagull.
Sent to me by a coworker with the simple comment of "so very wrong". Hilarious Man / Woman Dog Diet. Starring the big guy from Hot Fuzz / Shaun of the Dead. Darren tells me it's days old though. Bah. Still funny though.
Forgetfoo pointed to Daily WTF's collection of Best Budweiser Advertisements. Nice find!
Hilarious picture of Opera vs. Firefox vs. Internet Explorer on the Opera Watch website via Digg.
Much as I'd love to use Opera, I've grown a bit too dependent on a few of the plugins to let it go.
Quote #809280 is the funniest BASH.org quote I've seen all day today.... sort of an IRC version of rock paper scissors.
Hilarious video on YouTube called If YouTube Comments Met Real Life Situations. Great way to start the morning out!
Doing a little research on how well the Roomba works on cat hair for my place, and found a set of cute videos with pets and the roomba.

Somehow this picture reminds me of my relationship with my boss....
Hilarious Internet Safety Tips. The carebear one made me giggle.
TorrentFreak has a great article on how a bunch of MediaDefender Internal Emails Go Public. Basically a .torrent with 700mb of raw mail files from Media Defender about how they are setting up a site for the purpose of getting people to upload copyrighted material, and bust them. Great read.
Ha! Sure, Fight for Kisses is a razor ad, but wow, holy crap it's funny and good.
Cute comic on how to quit caffeine. I tend to go into the 'cold turkey' phase now and then....
Someone came up with the idea of Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day. Definite potential to mess with people's minds and have fun (or look like a total idiot) :) Great comments if you keep reading down the thread.
You could also pretend to be from the very recent future (a la "7 Days"), maybe even only a few hours.Wear normal clothes, covered in dust. Stagger up to people, grab them and say, "you need to get out of the city now!" then run off.
Your dose of cuteness can be found here. You may now return to your normal programming.
Found via Wil Harris and TWiT is a video of Old School Dvorak, way back in the day, reviewing an IBM system in the early 80s.
Wow, a) computers get old fast and b) Dvorak hasn't changed a bit :)
Funny pie chart of a Time breakdown of modern web design, showing what percentage of time is spent on what. A fantastic illustration on why I don't do web design :)
Speaking of which, anyone bored and want to design a new design for UFies.org? :)
OMG. I challenge you to watch this Top That! Video (horrible 80s cheese) in it's entirety. Really. Bonus points if you're a child of the 80s.
If you don't know what "dumber than a sack of hammers happy" means now, watch Miss Teen USA 2007 - South Carolina answers a question and then come back to me. I'll wait.
To be fair, I'm sure she was flustered, but really, come on, can't people string a sentence together? One that, like, has an ending that has something to do with the beginning that has something to do with the question asked, like, okay?
The sad thing is, I'm sure she'll do ok in the world, for some reason society these days seems to reward the bim-tards.
Forget foo has The Net in 12 Minutes, an amusing and horrific montage of the best and worst moments in those little video clips you see passed around.
Anyone else find this picture that JWZ posted strangely and almost disturbingly hot? Or is that just me? Please say it isn't just me...

Read the full thing for the funny.
I've seen this Internet Chatroom Parody a while back, but hey, I'll post it again. Basically what an internet chat would look like in real life.... and based on my own trolling experience, it's pretty accurate :)
Funny list of B10 things i hate about star trek:
Between Scotty's poor lubrication habits and Geordi's damned polarity reversing trick, it's a wonder the Enterprise doesn't just spontaneously explode whenever they put the juice to it.
It is said that Real Men Love the Fifth Element... and if so, I am a real man.
Not everyone is an iphone fanboy, some even think that The iPhone is a piece of shit, and so is your face. Caution, bad words present in the webpage. And the blink tag. Heathens!
LOL - the New Yorker's article on what I used to think people were saying about me.
Yup, another this-is-true kinda moment.
Fozbaca posted a link to a video Perl in a Nutshell, the song.

Great video of when Kids Ignite A Matchstick Bomb consisting of 30,000 matchstick heads. Booya!
Great video about how people smuggled thousands of electronics into the superbowl and spelled out a secret terrorist funny message.... check out The Super Stunt.
Hilarious video about the transformer Soundwave and his life after the original 1986 movie entitled: Soundwave - The Touch.
Got an IM from my super-windows and super-security dude main man Dana with a link to Porn and it's Relation to Your Social Life which had me rolling.

No, really!
On a related note this came while I was reading up on why techs steal your porn when you bring your computer in for repair.

Title says it all..... TOP 20 RIDICULOUS ACTION MOVIE MOMENTS.
Mika Brzezinski of MNSBC rips Paris report to shreds on live TV, refusing to follow the rest of the so-called news stations showing 24/7 Paris Hilton news. The best part of this is the look of utter frustration and hatred as her producer refuses to change the teleprompter and as the other reporters around her continue to talk about it.
Not sure if it was journalistic integrity or simple frustration with the absolutely inane media circus surrounding the blond celebutard, I'm hoping a little of both.
BTW, Paris is looking fabulous, I heard she had a coffee ordered in, yes, a coffee, not sure what brand, let me get you some stock live video footage of the coffee van pulling up to her mansion, and we'll show it over, and over, and over, and over until you want to nuke her and the "entertainment news" from orbit (it's the only way to be sure).
Coding Horror asks the question of Does Anyone Actually Read Software EULAs? Also a nice run through of why EULAs suck.
Video of Josh Blue's performance on Last Comic Standing. You'll recognize Josh as the comedian with cerebral palsy, and a damn funny guy. Note in particular his responses to the judges after his quick set. Via Reddit.
Thinkgeek, thinking fast (and cashing in) has got something for the Meme Cat lovers out there.... the IM In UR Blank T-shirt, with washable marker included so you can change your message as needed.
I'm in UR Internets, sending UR websites for example :)
Found via digg is a video and pictures of how to set up a first person shooter view in real life... the original site is down, but here's a mirror. That'd be really trippy to watch yourself as you move around.
Over on the Dilbert Blog Scott Adams of Dilbert fame shows us all How to Make a Comic Strip.
I found scans of The most amazing book ever!
It's horses ("Latawnya" in particular) showing why drinking and drugging is bad.
Oh my.
Thanks to my buddy Brian for the Prarie Dog... but remixed! Here's Baron von Prairie by Nitro.
Via Craigslist is A Friendly Reminder from your IT Department:
2. If you are going to use my stuff, then use it properly. This means LEARN ABOUT FUCKING SPYWARE. If you absolutely HAVE to go to some site during work hours (and we’ll talk about this in a minute), then make sure, when the popups start showing up, you click the little black X in the upper right hand corner. Don’t click the big flashing “OK” in the middle. Don’t. Whatever it is you think you should do – if it’s not that little grey X in the uppermost right corner, don’t do it. Don’t. Just. Fucking. Don’t.
Found on Micheal Bay's blog, a Transforms shirt: Giant Fucking Robots are Coming. Hilarious, regardless of the suckage of the movie (which I'll be seeing opening weekend regardless). I'll take one of those please :)
Oh wow, this is hilarious..... check out this article on the Miracle diet pill with teeny-tiny side effect. Basically the cure is way worse than the symptom it's curing I think. Read for yourself though.
“You may feel an urgent need to go to the bathroom. Until you have a sense of any treatment effects, it’s probably a smart idea to wear dark pants, and bring a change of clothes with you to work.”
Fantastically funny conversations Overheard in New York.
Fairly amusing / cute / clever / meh-ok Linux commercial is out.
Hilarious article on The Onion entitled After 5 Years In U.S., Terrorist Cell Too Complacent To Carry Out Attack.
"We remain wholly committed to the destruction of America, the Great Satan," al-Sharif said. "But now is not a good time for us. The season finale of Lost was such a cliff- hanger that we have to at least catch the first episode of the new season. After that, though, death to the infidels."
I'm sure this is obvious, but this video on how To Catch a Predator (perverted justice) doesn't work.
Shockingly enough, the motives of Reality TV / Entertainment news / the utter shit that passes for "news" don't mix with actual law, law enforcement, or people actually interested in catching predators not for "good entertainment". Worth a watch for sure, even more so if you're a fan of this tv program (for real or for laughing at).
Dad at Comedy Barn is 100% proof (IMHO) that laughter breeds laughter, and someone with a funny laugh breeds even more laughter. Check from about 1:45 into the video above when they get to the guy in the middle.... keeps on going and going and going and is the funniest damn thing I've seen in ages!
Two words any man will cringe just reading..... "testicle attack".

Darren points me to a video from JediInsider of the Star Wars Celebration IV: Family Guy Preview. Absolutely hilarious. Anyone know when this is playing for real? This looks like a preview shown on a big screen with an audience.
Now this is funny.... benchmark comparing a mac from 1986 running System 6 against a brand new XPSP2 Dual Core AMD machine. You Won't Believe Who Wins.
[...]
3) All of the tests were performed with a generally recommended amount of RAM for the OS configuration. For the Mac Plus, that was 4MB. For the AMD that was 1GB.
[...]
Even benchmarks like the 'boot to desktop' had me giggling... wow, the more things change the more they suck eh? Course, they didn't have quake back then, either.
Hilariously Nasty Breakup Letter.
Watching you parade around my bedroom in a thong was a little like watching sea lions mate. Thought you might like to know.
Some more Mac PC Spoofs, with the crosshairs on the Mac this time, depicting Macs as rude, lazy stoner losers who can't get the girl. Funny, kinda.

The 20 Funniest Computer Geek Humor Bits of All Time, including classics like "The Internet Help Desk", "Troops", and other great ones. Ah, the memories.....
Title says it all, funny article, The Chinese Tattoo Prankette is amusing. Here's a sample:
So I launch into the questions: what made her decide on a Chinese symbol, who was the artist, were they Chinese, everything except what the symbol stood for. She stammers through the answers, which boil down to no real reason for the Chinese, no real interest in Asian culture or language, just got the tat from some white American dude in a shop in Sayerville. Then she launches into an explanation of what it means: inner peace or some nonsense.
A nice video compilation of Star Wars mistakes (some quite obscure). Looks great for trivia night at the nerd party :)
Hi, I'm Ruby on Rails..., in the vein of "Hi, I'm a mac". Quite funny.
A very inventive use for a spoon, syringe, mirror, and lighter... making pancakes!
Right on the heels of how to detect image fakery comes a great page of creative photos (some might even call them faked :)
Ever wonder what happens when you plug the video-out port on your video card to the video-in port on your capture card? Well, now you do. Fairly predictable, but still amusing for a few seconds anyway.
Of coruse, we all know that It Doesn’t Pay To Be “The Computer Guy”, finally someone's enumerated them from 1 to 10 (or actually, 10 to 1).
The computer guy never hears anyone tell him, “I just want to let you know … everything is working fine!”
Good to know where they put the porn they steal off your systems.... apparently you shouldn't trust geek squad. Sadly one more example of a good idea gone bad due to marketing and not paying people enough :(
Another Mac/PC parody... Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm a DC.
Here's a funny analysis of stock photography called 9 things I learned about the world from anonymous stock photo models.. Very amusing
5. The amount of forced enthusiasm you have for a commercial product is directly proportional to how big of an asshole you are.
Photogs, especially ones who appreciate those nice long white lenses, will probably cringe at this.... click the link a few posts down for a picture of the results (may only work if you click it from the first link though). That's an expensive foul ball!
