from something awful’s latest photoshop phriday: anagrammed movies

Twitter is a way to keep up with what your friends are a-doing. I never got into it — people of Facebook, it’s very similar to status updates. It’s only status updates! Here’s what Lisa Nova thinks about it:

There’s another video if you so choose to delve further into the hell that is Twitter kids on crack.

PS: Miley and Mandy got their video out:

Mandy can dance. Carson Daly…. sorta! David Blaine: I’m talking to you! Stop scaring little kids!

Thanks Bear! you ridic.

eek.

thx jess.

i have no idea what’s going on. this video is a response to Miley Cyrus’s response to the original challenge as set by Jon Chu (director of Step Up 2) and Adam Sevani (some kid! he dances).

oooh barry. you and your tubing.

on the next wave of the internet, and where we go from here:

part one:

part two:

Shirky likens Gilligan’s Island and sitcoms to gin. he defends games that suck the user in like WoW, believing “it’s better to do something than nothing!” one of the more exciting ideas about the future of the internet: people that are born into the culture of the internet and computers. they don’t know what it was like in the before times. who knows what they will come up with in the next decade.

he mentions Vasco Furtado, a professor in Brazil who started a wikipage for crime watching. people log in and report assaults and what-have-yous with digital pushpins on a Google map. it isn’t only Brazil that’s on this map. Google does have the world rolled out for you, why not put the pins all over the place? Hopefully this will only produce good things. Wikicrimes.

a big thank you to jessica mullen who directed our class to this particular lecture.

hmmm what stuff have i been looking up lately?

These thingers make me extremely aware I have no idea what Thai culture is like. Some of them are a bit cheesy, and some are downright odd plots for a freaking commercial — oh, your little teenaged girl got pregnant, but we love each other let’s hug and cry — but some are heartfelt if you are in the mood. Ignore the music. These two are my favorites; both are aboot old people.

THANKS A LOT, GREG.
