Embarassing Parenting: Wave at the Bus



 Fisher Price Little People Lil' Movers School Bus

Fisher Price Little People Lil’ Movers School Bus

Not everybody’s parents are as cool as Dale Price.

Even if his son, Rain, may have been slightly embarassed about his father’s occasional antics today – what Dale has done for the past year is something that will definitely make for some awesome family stories 10 or 20 years from now.

And Dale didn’t really do anything too complicated.

All he did was the same thing any other modern-day parent does – they send their children off to school on the schoolbus every day.  Of course, Rain is also a teenager, with all the typical teenage angst.  So Dale thought he’d try something a little different this past school year.

What’s your Doggelganger? Find out using the human-to-canine pairing software



Adopt a Dog
Adopt a Dog

You know you want one.  Everybody does.

And you know the best way to get a dog is to adopt an unwanted or abandoned puppy from an animal shelter rather than to go to a breeder and pay more money than necessary.  Of course, if purebreds are your thing – then go for it, but if you listen to Bob Barker’s (and now Drew Carey’s) spiel at the end of every episode of THE PRICE IS RIGHT, you know that going to a shelter will give you the warm fuzzies – both literally and figuratively.

Adopting? Try a “pregnancy” photo gallery



Deluxe Belly Cast & Bold Decorating Kit

Deluxe Belly Cast & Bold Decorating Kit

Everywhere you look there are pictures of smug pregnant women.

Women who are thrilled with being pregnant, proud to show off their baby-oven – whether it be with belly casts or pumpkin paint.

And there’s nothing wrong with this.  Many articles have been written about how some women become more beautiful to their spouses when they’re pregnant.  How pregnancy only enhances her looks as she changes from “woman” to “mother”.

But there shouldn’t be a double-standard on this.

What Was There? A photographic journey through history



World Map
World Map

The more things change, the more things change.

Some places are known for blowing the existing up and rebuilding from the ashes, history be damned.  Other places embrace their history, making it difficult for any new development to take place lest it disturb the historical (in)significance of what’s present.

That’s why Web Watch loves websites like WHAT WAS THERE, as it tries to capture the glory of history, without worrying about keeping the march of progress down.

Proof that Soylent Green is people: babies good enough to eat!



Anne Geddes Baby Costumes
Anne Geddes Baby Costumes

It’s just another thing that parents do to embarass their kids: dressing up their kids in funny costumes and taking pictures of ‘em.

Pictures that can be used for high school yearbooks, engagement party photo displays, bar mitzvah autograph boards — you know, anything that can be blown up to poster-size and put on display for the world to see.

Tacky Tourists Taking Photos of Tacky Things



Tacky Tourist Costume
Tacky Tourists

Some people travel to be educated about an area’s history.

Some travel to try different cuisines, or to learn about different culture.

But after you’ve done all that, you may still have another 20 hours of the day to kill, wandering around a strange or unfamiliar city looking for something to do.

And that’s why you may find yourself, with camera in hand, looking for the underbelly of interesting things in your new locale.  There may not be a HARD ROCK CAFE or PLANET HOLLYWOOD nearby for you to buy a T-shirt from, but there may be something equally awesome.

Proof that waiting on line at Disney parks can be miserable



The Disney Queue Line Survival Guidebook
The Disney Queue Line Survival Guidebook

Web Watch never get bored while waiting on line for a Disney theme park attraction.

The detailed queues, interactive distractions, background music, park smells – the general happiness that permeates the Disney parks are designed to distract you from even thinking that you’ve been waiting in line for 2 hours to ride Toy Story Mania.

Okay – maybe waiting two hours for a 3-minute ride isn’t exactly a good use of anyone’s time, and definitely showcases the largest problem with the use of FastPass (but we digress, as we’re not going to talk about the pros/cons of FastPass today).

No, today we’re going to highlight the dark side of the Disney Park experience: the “gotta go, gotta go” mentality that pushes a family to Do Everything, Because It’s an Expensive Disney Trip, Dammit.

GLAMOUR THROUGH YOUR LENS: A Centerfold Photographers Guide to Exciting Photography
GLAMOUR THROUGH YOUR LENS:
A Centerfold Photographers Guide to Exciting Photography

Not everybody looks good in pictures.

At our local grocery store, the store management has their headshots all lined up near the cash registers so that the customers can easily recognize who’s in charge.

All the photos are standard grocery store headshots: blue background, corporate-looking shirt (with and without a tie, depending on managerial level).  You know the type of pictures these are, and they all look like they were taken the same day… well, all but one photo on the wall were like this.

One picture stood out from the rest: it was the picture of one of the female managers, taken at GLAMOUR SHOTS.  Fuzzy purple boa, feathers in the hair, sultry/pouty pose while looking over a shoulder, heavy hairspray and makeup.  In other words, not exactly what we customers would want to see as a store representative of our food and beverage supermart.

Old Photobooth Photos, Animated




Who We Were: A Snapshot Picture of America
Who We Were: A Snapshot Picture of America

As you go about cleaning out your house, Web Watch is sure that the question of “What shoul I do with all these old photos that we have lying around?” comes up on occasion.

Some photos, you naturally would keep.  Perhaps in a frame, perhaps in a shoebox tucked under the bed.

But there are also novelty photos that really aren’t meaningful enough to keep, but aren’t so bad that you want to throw them away.

That’s where MOVING PICTURES comes in, as they’ve taken dozens of photobooth film strips  and other photos that they’ve found scattered around across America and digitized them.
