Tinkerbell & the Amish Beaver Gang

I don’t know which part of this perplexes me the most – that Netflix suggested the Tinkerbell video or that their algorithm considered these titles to be similar:

There are a lot of places we could go with this but I’m just going to move on. This is a family-friendly blog, after all. (No it’s not, but every once in a while I like to type that just to make myself laugh).

You have to love levitating government officials

The Three Levitating Government Officials.

On the evening of June 26, an Internet user made a post titled at the Tianya Forum. “I had nothing to do today so I visited the website for our county government. The headline story was about the upgrade for the road to the countryside. I looked at the photo and I almost coughed out half a liter of blood! Even a rank amateur like myself can tell that this was a PhotoShop job, and they had the nerve to put this on the home page!” The post included a screen capture of a photo, in which three men were “floating” over a road. There were clear indications that this was a composite job. According to the caption: “County mayor Li Ningyi and vice-mayor Tang Xiaobing are inspecting the newly constructed country road at Lihong Town.” This post drew plenty of readers, and the Huili County Government website was even down for a while because of the heavy traffic volume.

On the afternoon of June 27, our reader interviewed the Huili County Government publicity department director Zhang Yongzhi. According to Zhang, several county leaders went out to inspect the road. An accompanying worker took some photos for the record. But when it came to posting onto the website, the worker decided that “the background of the original photo did not look very good” so a decision was made to crop the leaders onto a different background. The Huili County Government has removed all relevant information and reprimanded the worker who handled the photo. The Huili County Government issued an apology at the Tianya Forum and the Sina.com Weibo.

This cat does not give a damn

I’m jetlagged & crazy & trying to get caught back up with life & re-acclimate to stupidly hot weather, so it’s entirely possible this isn’t as funny as I think it is. I don’t care. I laughed my head off, so I’m sharing it with you, my lovelies, because I can:

Found in a notebook

“If H.P. Lovecraft was the publisher of a shelter magazine there’d be a feature story about the importance of using crown molding at all wall-to-ceiling transitions because otherwise you run the risk of opening a pan-dimensional gateway.”

I don’t think I got a lot of work done in 2007. I think I’m starting to see why.
