Are you a hipster?
Do you live in some hip world full of other hip people? Constantly gazing off into the distance from your hipster pad while you listen to all that hipster post-modern music?
Do you have an ironic goatee?
Is being a hipster all it’s cracked up to be? Maybe YOU’RE AN UNHAPPY HIPSTER.

RUNNING FROM CAMERA is a funny original blog idea.
Muggezifter, the blog creator, had a great idea for original self-portraits.
He sets the camera down on a stable surface (or has a friend/stranger hold the camera), sets the self-timer for 2 seconds, and then runs away from the camera as fast as possible.
Yup, can’t be any simpler than that.
Certainly makes those staged posed photos on your next vacation seem a bit old-fashioned, doesn’t it?
Bloggers, being the new century journalists that they are (yes, we’re thinking of you Perez!), have to walk a fine line between the low-cost of entry to the world of online publishing and the low-cost return on investment they get on what they’re writing about.
This does explain the current glut of blog-as-book deals that Web Watch has shown you over the past few months, because mama bloggers gotta eat, and blogging by itself just isn’t enough to pay the bills.

In YET ANOTHER NOSTALGIA BLOG-TURNED-POSSIBLE-EXPLOITATIVE BOOK DEAL, Web Watch points you to GROWING UP HEROES, a photoblog of old family photos that have been submitted by the site’s readers.
In this case, the family photos are of children (and others) dressed up as their favorite superheroes.

Detroit’s Hans Steiniger knows all about what it takes to be a true football fan.
That’s because HANS STEINIGER HAS VISITED ALL 31 NFL STADIUMS as part of a four-year quest to complete a unique journey of experiencing each stadium as a “local fan”. Yup, he attended the games as a local would – in full jersey, face-painted, bead-wearing, cheesehead-toting regalia.
We’ve previously covered how to LOCATE CELEBRITY HOMES ON GOOGLE here on Web Watch, and it seems to have been a hit with a number of Web Watch’s visitors.
So we thought we’d offer another way for tourists to look around and gawk at those places that celebrities call home when the celebrities aren’t invading our living rooms through that magic talking box in the corner.

In Peter Biskind’s new book about Warren Beatty, STAR: HOW WARREN BEATTY SEDUCED AMERICA, we learn that Warren Beatty has allegedly slept with over 12,000 different women.
Approximately 12,775 - if you believe what the book says.
While there may be some Web Watch readers who will applaud Warren for coming anywhere close to even 1/4 of that number, there will be a large number of folks who will believe that Warren has completed all those conquests… and more… without question.
And that is where Web Watch can step in. Because bedding 12,775 partners seems a bit over-achieving to us.
And apparently, we’re not alone in this thinking.

Some would say that if you’re one of those people who feel the need to have a tattoo on your arm, neck, lower back, calf, or other seen (or unseen) body part that is not in your native language, then you deserve what you get.
You might have asked for your initials to be displayed in Kanji, but you may end up with something entirely different and not necessarily something that you would like to have.
Web Watch has seen our share of wacky wedding photos:
Yup, Web Watch has been there for all of these.
But we can be glad that – when compared to the images seen on WEDINATOR – that the happy couple were usually part of the gag and were willing participants in the photos at some level. Just like CAKE WRECKS and other photoblogs, Wedinator takes those unintentionally funny wedding photos and shares them with the world.

Justin Bieber wants you to check out his bowl cut!
Web Watch knows that our Web Watch readers have tons of embarrassing photos of themselves from when they were younger and lacked any sort of fashion sense or humility.
Didn’t everyone have that plaid pants/white belt combo? Yeah, thought so… we think it was required dress code for the under-8 set.
But think about your parents, trying to save a buck or two by doing basic haircuts at home instead of taking the kids to Supercuts or Great Clips or the local mall salon that charges you $20 just to ask the receptionist a question.
