How to take professional pictures of your family without paying for a professional

Whenever Web Watch goes on a trip – say to Las Vegas, Walt Disney World, San Francisco… wherever – we are completely dumbfounded by all the tourists and families who are trying to get “that perfect shot”.

They group their people together on one side of the walkway, then expect the entire crowd to stay out of the way while you compose the shot.

Have you ever been trying to get from Point A to Point B at any of these touristy spots without having to constantly stop to be courteous to these photo hounds? We’ve gotten to the point where we say, “Screw it – they’re using a digital camera or their phone, they can take another shot” and we walk right through the photo opp. We’ve got place to be, folks – so let us move on and get out of your way.

Grand Theft Auto

If you’re a video game addict — and let’s face it, if you have at least two “sequel” games in your game library you probably qualify — then you may have sometimes used video games as a way to escape your mundane, humdrum life.

Because who wouldn’t want to be that guy in Grand Theft Auto who can just run around and carjack whatever he feels like sometimes? Drive around and run bad drivers off the road?

Yeah, feels kinda good, doesn’t it?

Cirque Du Soleil Anniversary Collection

At last count, Web Watch has seen 14 different Cirque du Soleil shows –which, at an average ticket price of $100 apiece, plus concessions and otherwise, means that we’ve spent a hell of a lot of money on Guy Laliberte’s entertainment empire.

And every cent so far we consider money well spent. Each production has been thoroughly entertaining and exciting.

One question we’re oft wondered is what it takes to be a Cirque du Soleil performer. And while a lot of this was answered in the phenomenal reality series FIRE WITHIN on Bravo (seriously, it was awesome!), the question still remains about the physicality of what those performers do and how they do it.

Web Watch enjoys the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as much as anyone.

That’s why were were thrilled to receive this year’s press release touting the new lineup that we can expect to see while we’re cooking our annual Thanksgiving dinner. The Macy’s parade always tries to stay topical and fresh with its lineup of floats, balloons, and guest stars – and this year is no exception. Let’s just hope that they update the cue cards that Matt and the rest of the NBC gang are reading from. Put some life into it, folks!

Where else could you get read about Cee Lo Green and the NutMobile in the same article? Even better, did you know that there was a Macy’s Parade Hotline?

Get that phone number and read the full press release after the break

Lego City Police Chase 3648

Web Watch would never suggest that you ever evade the police by providing this information to our readers.

Think of this merely as an explanation of how all those criminals manage to escape getting into police custody in those high-action summer movies.

You, being a law-abiding citizen, would pull over immediately upon seeing the flashing blue lights in your rearview mirror, right? Right.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

We all watch a little bit of trashy Reality TV. In part because we marvel at the extravagant homes and lifestyles these people live.

Who wouldn’t want to be them – sans camera crews – for just a day or two?

Who would want to live in one of those absolutely gorgeous homes? Well, it turns out that you can, as many of them are available for sale or rent to anyone willing to pony up some cash.

Web Watch works hard to make sure our readers are ahead of the curve on various topics. We like to be among the leaders, not a mere follower.

Which is why, when we see articles on CNN about how INTERNET FEES IRRITATE HOTEL GUESTS, we secretly smile and go about our business in bringing you the good stuff, because we know that we already brought up this very same topic about hotel internet fees almost a year ago.
