Bad Paintings of Barack Obama

Sometimes even the best intentions fall short. Such is the case with the art featured on this site called “Bad Paintings of Barack Obama.” And they’re not kidding either … they’re beyond bad!

Obama goes green! He’s glowing like a nuclear reactor…

This is from his short lived stint with the Blue Man Group.

Obama and his bestest pal in the world … honest Abe.

YIKES! The only way I could tell it was Obama was because of the logo in the background.

Here’s what Obama would look like if Piccaso painted him … YEAH, RIGHT!

Cool Facebook T-shirts

Despair, Inc., one of my favorite online shops, has two new Facebook themed t-shirts. Anybody familiar with Facebook will instantly identify with these shirts. Clever and slightly devilish at the same time.

1 RANDOM THING.
Because 25 random things is 25 too many.

From the Despair.com blog:

It’s become one of the fastest moving fads in the history of social networking. In one week’s time, over 5 million narcissists, braggarts, exhibitionists, and serial jabbermouths have posted notes to Facebook, disclosing “25 random things” about themselves to their online network of family, friends, friends-of-friends, and of course more than a few pseudo-friends who are just keeping up appearances because they lacked the guts to decline a “friend invite”. All the while, these very same people are exposing their dirty laundry, trivial observations, unsolicited fantasies, yawn-inducing confessions, white-washed biographical highlight reels and probably a hefty share of outright lies to an armada of sexual deviants, unstable stalkers, future blackmailers, potentially nefarious foreign and domestic intelligence agencies, and a legion of marketing bots- all of which are probably paying closer attention than those the list was intended for (for reasons best left unmentioned).

Get “1 Random Thing” t-shirt

THE IGNORE TEE.
If you don’t get the joke, there may be a reason.

From the Despair.com blog:

Hey ladies, this one comes in a babydoll tee, too- because we KNOW you probably need it even more than the Men on this list do… (Not that we’re stalking your Facebook page or anything. I mean, that would be a violation of the sacred compact between a business and a customer. And the last thing we would ever do would be to use our access to your privileged information- like names and addresses- to research our customers online profiles, searching for that… Special lady who might… Complete us… Even though she just thinks of us at the moment as a friend… Or, at least, a friendly voice on the other end of this email… Even if she doesn’t yet know that we know her so very, very well. And her friends, her family, even 25 Random Things about her…) Read more

The United States Postal Service cares!

A severely damaged piece of mail arrived today courtesy of the US Postal Service. It was so badly mangled that the address could be barely be seen. The Postal Service placed what was left of the mail in a plastic bag that read:

WE CARE

We hope you understand. We assure you that we are constantly striving to improve our processing methods in order that even a rare occurrence may be eliminated.

I felt much better after reading that message. It warms my heart to know that the US government actually cares. They’re just doing their best and this sort of thing should be expected. Who could blame them for mangling an occaisaional piece of mail? Certainly not I.

Thank you Postmaster for your apology and kind hearted words. I wish you a happy new year and eargerly look forward to your next coorespondence.

Before I die I want to …

The basic premise at “before I die I want to.org” is to say exactly what it is you want to do before you die. Here are just three examples of the many postings:

I hope you’re still alive when they carry you out.

Sounds to me like you’re ready to go at any moment

We have no clue who you are. You’re a total mystery. Since YOU know who you are, WHAM, you just solved your first mystery!

Here are the official rules:

To submit your own “Before I die I want to…” Polaroid to this project,
please follow these steps:

1. Think about what you want to do before you die.

2. Have someone take a Polaroid photo of you AS you are stating what it is you want to do before you die.

3. In your own handwriting in the large white area of the Polaroid under the photo, write down with a BLACK sharpie marker what you just said you want to do before you die, starting with the words “Before I die I want to…”

The Joker sentenced to 1 day in jail

   

 

Here’s a fantastic feat pulled off by another wanna be joker. Another wanna be Joker? Are there any other wanna be Jokers? Here’s the rest of the story:
 

CENTREVILLE, Mich. – A man accused of trying to steal a large Batman movie poster from a cinema lobby while dressed as the Joker has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of malicious destruction of property.

Twenty-year-old Spencer Taylor entered the plea Wednesday in St. Joseph County District Court.

A judge ordered him to serve one day in jail, perform 16 hours of community service and pay $685 in fines.

Charges of attempted larceny in a building and using a mask to conceal his identity during the commission of a crime were dismissed as part of Taylor’s plea agreement.

Three Rivers police say he was wearing a purple suit, green wig and face paint when they arrested him on July 27.

Wow! I’m so impressed. I can’t wait until you dress up as the Hulk and run around terrorizing towns folk with your purple shorts. Ah yes. That will be a glorious day.

Can I get a napkin please!

I’m not a huge fan of musicals. I always thought it was bizarre that spontaneous song and dance would suddenly break out and the extras in any scene would never react. Hello? Does anybody else out there find musicals incredibly corny? This video shows how people really act when a musical breaks out in the food court. Brilliantly pulled off by improveverywhere.com.

Cutting edge interiors – from 1974

These interiors were all the rage back in 1974. Colorful, hip, modern, and cool. Yes sir, this was the cutting edge. Put on your bell bottom jeans, big collar shirt and strut through some three inch shag carpeting. Cue up your favorite 8-track tape and you are ready for some seasons in the sun Terry Jacks.
