TheChive – a Photo Blog

By now, we’ve all taken the time to troll through Flickr or PhotoBucket to see what types of photos people have uploaded to their accounts.  These sites have turned online voyeurism into more of a hobby than it has been already.

But going through those sites can be a little too much work.  Don’t you wish there was a place that went through all those photo sites for you, found all the interesting photos, and lumped them all into various categories – all to save you the time of doing it yourself?  Well, then you need to check out TheCHIVE, A PHOTO BLOG.

Started by John and Leo Resig,  TheChive is to photos what The Onion is to news – taking what’s already out there, twisting it around, and making it funny. 

Have you seen some of these photos they feature before?  Sure you have.  Are a lot of ’em badly Photoshopped?  Definitely.   Will they make you laugh?  That’s the goal.

Some of the galleries that they have compiled include:

Doctors Use Natural Orafices For Surgery

CNN is reporting on a new trend in experimental surgery: DOCTORS USING NATURAL ORAFICES FOR SURGERY.   A few weeks ago, for example, a woman made the news by being able to donate a kidney by having it removed through her vagina.  

It certainly makes reasonable sense to do surgery this way if it’s possible.  There is less recovery time, no external scarring, and less risk of infection – a combination that should help reduce overall healthcare costs associated with some surgeries.  But for now, this is still considered an experimental process.

According to the article, this new technique to access areas via the mouth or the vagina is most often used to perform bariatric surgery, but has also been used to remove gallbladders, kidneys, and appendices…as well as doing other internal surgery to the stomach and related areas.  

CNN makes sure that we have all our questions answered, even when the answer seems obvious.   They make it a point to quote a doctor saying, “Women have an advantage because the vagina provides a direct access into the body,” just in case we need that pointed out to us. 

The article continues:

“For men, there have been ideas about using the penis as a natural orifice, but that’s been dismissed because the point of entry is too small. 

“If you’re male, you’re going to have to go through the rectum,” said Dr. Sayeed Ikramuddin, director of gastrointestinal surgery at the University of Minnesota Medical School. That procedure hasn’t been done on humans because, it’s “dangerous because there’s a lot of bacteria that could be spilled. If you leak, it’s a disaster.”

Let’s reiterate: someone actually considered, however briefly, trying to pull an appendix or a gallbladder through a penis. You know, because we can do it through a vagina, so it must work the same way.

I wonder who decided doing surgery via the penis was a bad idea – the doctor who considered it, or the potential first patient saying “You want to do what…where?  HELL, no.” when told of the opportunity.

Running a Mistress Contest

CNN is reporting on a CHINESE MISTRESS CONTEST that resulted in one of the losing contestants dying while trying to kill the other mistresses, along with the man who came up with this brilliant idea.

The contest was held by a married businessman who had five mistresses, and he decided to lay off four of them due to the economic downturn.  His goal was to determine which mistress to keep.  None of the women wanted to lose their “job”, which came with a rent-free apartment and $730 monthly allowance. 

In case you were thinking of running your own “best mistress” contest, this is what CNN reports are the three sole criteria used to pick the winner from this private talent show:

  • How the women looked
  • How the women sang
  • How much alcohol they can drink

In the end, the businessman ended up paying $84,744 in compensation to the victim’s family and also shut down his business.  The four surviving mistresses also left him… as did his wife after learning of the affairs.

F*** My Life

F*** MY LIFE is a venting and ranting forum for people who feel their life sucks but they don’t care.

Plus, you get good feedback from the other users on the site.  So after you post an example of why your life sucks   (“Today, I was talking to my parents about feeling insecure with my “beach body” as Spring Break keeps getting closer and closer. My dad proceeded to warn me by saying, “Don’t wear a gray swimsuit. People will try to roll you back into the ocean”. FML”), other people get to vote whether they agree with you and your life is crap, or if you did deserve that one.

The current top FML?  Try to top this one:  “Today, I received my passport in the mail. They got my birthdate wrong. Then I picked up my birth certificate that I had sent in with the application. Turns out my parents have been celebrating my birthday on the wrong day for 16 years. FML”  Yeah, they’re screwed.

Laughing at Fanny Packs

A friend of mine has many rules about how to live a happy life. 

“Don’t wear denim shorts.”
“Don’t bother Daddy during the World Cup.”
“Don’t wear a fanny pack.”

The people at FANNY PACK ANTICS agree with my friend completely, and their photo gallery of tourists-gone-fashionably-wrong is an indication that there is something very, very troubling going on in today’s airports, bus terminals, and tourist destinations.

Their goal is to photograph every fanny-pack-wearing creature and post the horror of this image for the world to see.  This is probably the only place you’ll see a photo of tourists taking photos of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, instead of photos of the Tower itself.  That one make me laugh, as everyone was trying to do their best “hey, watch me hold the tower up. it’s hysterical!” pose.

Cake Wrecks

The CAKE WRECKS blog is simple, really.   Take a picture of a poorly-designed cake that was prepared at the local bakery or supermarket, upload it to the site, and mock it mercilessly on its spelling choices or bad art motifs.

It’s best when it shows the more creative side of cake decorating – Duff and the rest of the crew at Charm City Cakes have nothing to worry about here.  Cake Wrecks found a Star Wars-themed cake featuring Darth Vadar hovering over a newborn baby.  A cake decorated with a USB flash drive…instead of with the image store on the drive.  A Super Bowl-themed cake…drawn on a cake designed as a baseball-field.  

And nothing can compare with their five-photo gallery of cakes designed to look like feet.  Ugly, post-operative feet.

Every Curse Word on HBO’s The Sopranos, ever

Everyone knows that The Sopranos on HBO just wasn’t the same in its censored, rehashed version that was aired on A&E during its so-called “syndication”.

I know that they filmed the series with two scripts specifically for the syndicated market, but the softer censored version just didn’t do the original justice.

So here it is, a 27 minutes-long recap of every swear word used on The Sopranos, shown in chronological order.

UPDATE:

Looks like the original has been taken down.  Try viewing part one, until it too goes away…

The 20 Male Poses of Facebook Photos

For all of you with a Facebook account (or MySpace, or Linkedin, or Friendster, or whatever the next new social networking site happens to be), you will be well served by checking out THE 20 MALE POSES OF FACEBOOK and being sure NOT to find yourself imitating any of these shots.

Of course, if you do find yourself posting a profile picture that fits one of those categories, your best bet would be to claim that it was done purposefully, in a jokey ironic “hey, look at how cliche I am” kind of way as opposed to the “Yo, I’m doing this because it’s cool and unique” way you had originally intended.
