Your dad used photo filters before you did and he’s got the lens attachments to prove it. With a photographer’s first aide kit slung to his side, he rescued shots from mundane and made them majestic. He had acid trip color adjusters, light bending diffusers and UV defenders to make magic with. Then, in a dark room high off developer fumes, his augmented exposures were brought to life.
So hipsters, when you’re post applying digital filters to your instagram shots, in hopes of achieving artsy gold, remember this…
Your dad was an artist of recalibrating reality first.

Smart-ass responses to completely well-meaning signs
Click the title to view.
Most of these signs were designed to help people — to get where they’re going, to find a pet, to avoid grievous bodily harm — and yet some writing-utensil-wielding wiseasses felt compelled to come along and totally deface them. We’re so glad they did. Does that mean we value a wry sense of humor or even just a lazy reference to an outdated song over the safety of our fellow human beings? We’re insulted you would even ask. Of course we do.

10 new sports moments even more awkwardly erotic than the porn you just finished watching.
Sports are sweaty, full-contact, and for the most part played with equipment that resembles either a penis, a testicle or both. Thus, it’s no surprise that players can easily find themselves featured in the sorts of compromising images one would normally have to hack an iPhone to find. Here are some of our favorites. Enjoy them. You deserve it. Updates 3/26/12: Posted 3/6/2012:

Frog sitting up like a person. No lie.
Hold my calls, there’s a frog sitting on a bench like a person. This guy is clearly about to break out a top hat and belt out an excerpt from “Hello! Ma Baby.”

Have You Seen These Droids?
Thoughts on the Oscars last night.
Still kinda shocked that The Artist won for Best Picture. I suppose I thought Hugo was going to take it considering all the awards it was winning early on. I saw The Artist and thought it was charming - but I told my husband afterwards that I wasn’t sure it was the best movie of the year. Although I understand the nostalgia thing it has going on with it.
Jean Dujardin really made The Artist work, but I have to agree with someone’s tweet that said Hello and Goodbye. Poor guy can hardly speak English. I DO hope to see him in more movies. He’s definitely a cutie, but not sure if that’ll happen. Its amazing that he won that award without having to speak one word. I did not see the Descendants, but I have a feeling George Clooney was probably pretty great in it.
Didn’t see The Iron Lady, so I’m not sure about Meryl Streep’s win. I was kinda pulling for Glenn Close this season. I mean come on! She totally looked and sounded like a man! An ugly little weaselly man.
Billy Crystal as the host - gotta love ‘em. His racial edge wasn’t quite there, I see that. (Meaning he should have skipped the Sammie Davis Jr. cameo. Kinda dated and no one really does Black Face (Brown face?) anymore). Can he maybe get the Oscars going and then hand it off? Most folks on Twitter noticed that Chris Rock’s little part was effortless and funny. That’s what we need. Folks are getting tired of awkward forced jokes. Better when the person is natural and keeps the energy going.
Emma Stone FOR THE WIN. I love her, think she is so funny and adorable. I loved the bit she did. I thought she was drunk at first, then got it. So funny. Favorite part of the show.
I personally was glad that Woody Allen won for “Midnight in Paris”. It was definitely one of my favorite movies of the year. I also enjoyed “Beginners” and so was very happy to see Christopher Plummer win for his role.
I guess out of the movies that I saw, I’d pick The Help as my favorite movie of the year. I still need to see Hugo and The Descendants to make an educated decision, but there it is.
It’s amazing how fast Twitter works. I’d say 5 minutes after folks were asking if Angelina Jolie’s leg had a Twitter account…one was created. Then came leg bombing photos. Amazing.
So many great Tweets were going around last night, and I was enjoying the early bits of the show so much that I didn’t have to too much to tweet about.
