Ever since I saw that cold medicine commercial (Triaminic? can’t remember) where they have a baby’s head on a man’s body I have had a slightly squeamish reaction to this sort of thing.  I have no idea what it is about seeing these images that makes some part of my brain start screaming and gibbering with insanity.  It’s just wrong on some sort of visceral level that I can’t understand, indeed if I examine it too closely I teeter on the edge of losing it completely.  So with that bit of (too much) information I give you an entire web site dedicated to this freakish phenomenon: manbabies.com

Most are lame hack jobs that don’t cause any problems at all, but some are genuinely good and therefore are bad.

Enjoy.  Thanks Neatorama.

Creepy Photography

Well, talk about taking things to a new and creepy level, I’m betting you have never seen photography quite like this:  Joshua Hoffine Photography

Basically it seems he is using the same poor little blond girl for his model, she probably will never be quite the same after this.  Man there are some frigging creepy shots up there.  I can hear Lockrey cackling and Nikki shivering.

I just saw this today on Neatorama and had to share.  Also ganked the image without permission, hopefully he won’t mind.

Boxers or Briefs?

Posted on by

Ah, the eternal question (well at least for men).  Indeed there are even several kinds of boxers, so this field is rife with controversy and personal preference.  I give you the boxer (or boxer shorts), the boxer brief, and the brief.  They all have their pluses and minuses to be sure.  What is the one true kind of underwear?  I cannot say, but I can only add this: Before I really adopted the boxer brief, I was painfully single.  With the boxer brief in my life, I was soon happily married.  You do the math.

Which brings me to the topic of the post.  Like all men, Cael had to find his own way in the underwear department.  For some reason he ended up with several pairs of briefs in the last while.  He had more pairs of boxer briefs (tastefully adorned with Spider Man and Batman of course) than anything, but I guess sometimes he wore the briefs.  Anyway, he finally arrived at his own conclusion the other day.  He was visibly uncomfortable at the table, shifting and wincing.  Finally he said:

“This tight underwear hurts my knuckles.”

Indeed they do, son.  And so he took another small step into manhood with the decision to wear underwear that does not hurt his, ahem, knuckles.

The Boss is hawking stuff?

First, it appears that Bruce came out in favour of Barack Obama on his website.  Nice, I personally think he’s the best choice for president myself.  Not Obama, Bruce of course.  Wouldn’t he just be totally cool as President?

Then I see that maybe his credibility is not quite what it used to be, since here he is selling us on Microsoft Vista Service Pack 1….  doesn’t quite have the same zing.  I should mention that I can only assume that this is in fact a video of Bruce Springsteen, I can’t actually watch it since I’m at work and I should be working instead of writing this.

Enjoy.

***** Update

Oh lordy, now that I have actually seen this video with my own eyes, my weak take on sarcasm above does not cover it.  This video is so bad I couldn’t watch more than 40 seconds.  I can’t believe they made this.  It makes Microsoft look so uncontrollably bad, so much worse and uncool (if that was possible), just producing this video just sold at least 2 million more Macs.  Oh my god.  I’m ashamed to say that this stuff pays the bills for me….

Monobrow

Posted on by

You may be familiar with the unibrow, but that is now a socially unacceptable moniker.  In fact the winds of change are in the air, there is a site that not only educates, but rather celebrates the monobrow, and brings monobros and mono (-chicks? -ladies? -sistas?) together.

Behold Monobrow.com, Celebrating the Unity of Your Eyebrows.

Try not to look surprised all of the time (which is a common problem for the monobrow-blessed) at the monobro of the week pics.  Truly inspiring.
