Don't let the sun go down on me

www.eternalsunset.net

Although EternalSunset.net sounds like the URL for some Emo-dripping goth blog, it's actually pretty sweet. This site constantly offers web cam views from wherever the sunset is happening. Granted, web cams are so very 2001, but the combination of pretty colors and exotic locales is pretty soothing and way more effective than the v1cod!n or o>

The bad touch

www.instructables.com

Search for 'teddy bear remote control'

I love Instructables.com; it and Makezine are like Martha Stewart's Living for the geek set. However, I have to take issue with this project. For starters, it's way too Grandma Gingham looking for me, but that's not what I find so disturbing. The soft remote seems like a logical thing to make for kids, but take a look at the placement of the play button. I'm not sure the crotch is exactly the place to be sending the message 'press here to play' to kids.

Try this on m4whatever.com

www.xenophilia.com/fingertrick1.htm

So you've got an account on M4Whatever.com but you're too shy to put your nude pic up, and too honest to put use someone else's. What to do? Put up one of those stupid animated avatars? Yeah, like that's going to get you laid. What you need to do is utilize the Finger Trick. You see, if you fold your finger just so, photograph it really tightly, and put a little soft blur on it... tada. Ass shot! So the next time you're working on hitting that hot ass you've seen online, just realize you might actually be angling for a handjob.

This is so cute I could vomit

www.photographingsquirrels.com

Good god. Someone please shoot me now. The crap I wallow through for you people. This past week I've witnessed some incredibly gruesome body modification pics and videos ( things that still make me cross my legs when I think about them ) , countless Christian sites, tons of babies, kittens, pandas, bunnies, and penguins, but nothing I saw, nothing, nauseated me as much as these treacly cute pictures of squirrels with old cameras. The site proclaims 'at no time were any animals harmed when taking these pictures.' Well, he obviously wasn't considering their dignity.
