what "celebs" charge for sponsored tweets...lots of c-list US reality show people but some actual names, everybody's for sale.

Love this collection of facebook fails.

I wouldn't believe they were real but there was a thread on a forum I used to go on entirely devoted to facebook statuses that were pissing off forum members.

How could you be facebook friends with your parents?

 

[Mr. Tea]

Pretty funny - but it's a bit low posting family photos like that, don't you think?

I love this thread.

‎"To put it another way, in 2070, do you want to see an Oscar contender about a sweet-hearted Baathist and a decent Blackwater contractor who, against the artfully composed tracer fire of Fallujah, bond together, and save a brave, noble camel?"

Actually I reckon that could be a fucking blast.

"2008 14 September: Oxford graduate Stephen Clarke arrested after someone thought they saw him taking a photograph of a sealed man-hole cover outside the central public library in Manchester. He was arrested under section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000, held for 36 hours while his house and computer were searched, and then released without charge. No photographs of man-hole covers were found."

We also took in the Musee D'Orsay and The Louvre, where, amongst the countless treasures, was this portrait of Charlie Brooker dressed as a nun:

Sorry out-of-Londoners, context for that is here :

It's an "art project" which people "contribute" to.

 

[baboon2004]

That's kind of equivalent to those posters on the Tube along the lines of "I'll play my music more quietly. And I won't make Nazi salutes. What will YOU do?" , which frankly make me want to kill.

there was a piece in the observer on sunday about 'happy art' like the stuff on the tube. people dont want protest/challenging art anymore apparently, they want life affirming stuff.

I'd rather have prints of Munch and Bacon, excerpts from de Sade or Brett E. E., Throbbing Gristle lyrics, that sort of thing.

OTOH, even lame happy-nicey art and poetry does at least make a change from the otherwise unbroken acres of advertising that cover every available surface in London.

Oh I dont mind the art, it's whatever, it's the using of open source mentality for profiteering that has just got me this week. I was asked twice last week to 'contribute' to things that an artist had been commissioned for, and it's just like

FUCK YOU, PAY ME
FUCK YOU, PAY ME
FUCK YOU, PAY ME.

Really.
