I love my Weimaraner. So you can image how I reacted when I saw this video by William Wegman. I had tears running down my face from laughing. I found a bunch of other videos that I will be posting them after the jump. I never even knew they existed!

This never happens to me when I drink coffee.
This was the scene outside my office window. A dude went crazy and started fighting a wall, then he took down a cop, then was beat with a baton, then shot with a taser gun… two times! He finally went down. 20 cop cars and a fire truck showed up!
As my friend Robby said after I sent him the photos “city livin“.
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year, you have seen the Shepard Fairey Obama “Hope” artwork. It was used on buttons, stickers, posters, tee-shirts and even projected on Hollywood & Highland’s infamous Babylonian Arch (in Los Angeles) during the inauguration. AP (Associated Press) are claiming they own the copyright to the photograph and not only want credit they want compensation.
The Associated Press says:
“The Associated Press has determined that the photograph used in the poster is an AP photo and that its use required permission,”
“AP safeguards its assets and looks at these events on a case-by-case basis. We have reached out to Mr. Fairey’s attorney and are in discussions. We hope for an amicable solution.”
Shepards attorney says:
” We believe fair use protects Shepard’s right to do what he did here.”
The image will be included this month at a Fairey exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston and a mixed-media stenciled collage version has been added to the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery in Washington.
Also, After Obama won the Presidential election he wrote a letter to Shepard saying:
“Dear Shepard,” the letter reads. “I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can help change the status quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign.”
Shepard recently did a TV interview with Charlie Rose (I will post this video after the jump). In the interview he breaks down his art and talks about some of his ideals behind his thinking.
Whether you love him or hate him, Shepard’s “Hope” poster was the beacon for the youth’s relate-ability to our new President. And if this extra push or nudge came in a pop culture direction such as Shepard Fairy… I’m ok with that.

Do you sit in front of the computer all day like me? Are you pasty and gross looking? Are small children blinded when you take your shirt off at the beach? If yes, then you should get a tan and become hot looking on your computer.

In Florida a Firefighter was accused of stealing a foot from a crime scene after a car hit a pine tree.
Later the foot was found in the Firefighters freezer…. presumably to use in cadaver dog training that she did outside of her role with the fire department.
Sigh.

If you read whateves then it is no surprise that we HATE Sublime. They are talentless ass puppets that could be the worst thing to happen to music since Jimmy Buffett. This cat however, has more talent then Sublime ever had. I could watch this all day. What do you think? Can we get some kind of a poll on here?
At CNN.com they have compiled thousands of photos during Obamas Presidential Inauguration and titled them The Moment. Photos were submitted by anyone that attended the Inauguration. Then the compiled photos are layered on top of each other to create a 3D space from the otherwise 2D photos. Basically, It’s a panorama using thousands of submitted images from the people who attended.
CNN has been doing some cool interactive things with their displays/computer monitors. Most of them use a major event to showcase them. Example: the 2008 Election and here in the Presidential Inauguration.
Its pretty cool to click around the audience and see who attended along with seeing Obama, his family and the people around him during The Moment. I found a few actors and senators that were sitting right behind Obama as he was sworn in.
You will need to install a plug in called Silverlight to make it work and be able to interact, but that is it. Super easy and most of the photos are pretty good quality.
Check it out: The Moment
Today is a great day and an exciting time. We are as a country looking like shit right now and Obama is just the guy to get us back on our feet. Incase you don’t have a TV or you can’t stream (cnn) videos at work. Here is Obama’s acceptant speech.
“Hope triumphs over fear”
Also, below is an intresting video of Sheppard Fairey getting the word out.
This is my last few days of Christmas vacation. Monday is back to work. It’s been a nice week and a half of no technology. I found this Mario video while re-acclimating myself with my computer. Ahh if vacation could never end.
No plans for New Years Eve? Why not spend it with the Muppets? Hulu.com (the best site for wasting your life) is hosting Jim Heson’s Muppets From Space. Somethings as you get older start to loose their luster… but the Muppets no matter how old you are will always be gold.
Unfortunately Hulu.com wont allow this video to be embedded to any other site. But you can click on the image and watch the video.

Yesterday AS Roma beat Cagliari 3-2. Roma came from behind to win the game in the 90th minute (only 90 minutes are played). The above goal calibration courtesy of Mirko Vucinic, he was so excited he striped off his clothes and ran around the stadium. The best part is no one really made a big deal about it. I guess its not a big deal after the crowd few flags and made bonfires. I love ITALIA soccer
While back in England, Sky Sports host a show where fan announce the games. Here is to fans announcing the game for the teams they love: Everton and Aston Villa.
Happy Monday everyone. It feels good to have whateves back online giving the masses quality posts. Like… the one above for the Wundor Boner. After watching the video and seeing the fishs insides pushed thought his ass makes me want to go back to being vegitarian.
Dear President Bush,
Yes, the world hates you… I wish this smelly shoe would of hit you in your big stupid face. But the look you gave after the first shoe goes by is priceless. I only wish the reporter threw poop instead of a shoe.
