Here are some photos of celebrities without
makeup, and some
scary Photoshopped ones. Speaking of scary Photoshopped celebrities, check out this Michael Jackson
soundboard, and the
prank phone calls people use these soundboards to create. Also, visual artists create
imaginary album covers for favorite musical artists. If that made sense. And Something Awful posters try to '
intellectualize' rap lyrics. These last links are all via
Hip Hop Commentary.
Also, via Mefi,
Negativland's
Mashin' of the Christ, and 2000 election results
correlated to
average IQ.
Update: Here is another Mashin' link, to
bittorrent downloads
And some
Slate stuff: a
review of digital versions of the newsprint versions (yeesh) of the
NYT,
Washington Post and
LA Times. And two '
Friends' articles, one about how something so un-ironic became
palatable and one about how sitcoms became
soapcoms. In the interest of full disclosure, I should say that Slate is owned by Microsoft, and I really only started visiting it when Salon went premium. Also, I don't think Friends is particularly good. But, y'know, people love it. I can't wait to see what kind of sales the quickie DVD release of the finale racks up.
