Joe Lifrieri, a visual artist specializing in illustrations and design for ‘digital mediums’ has a website titled ‘hugs for monsters‘. He seems to be seriously fed up with Internet Explorer 6. So fed up in fact that he has a special message for people still using it.
Is it a bit harsh? Well, yes.
Do you think IE users will get the picture now? Unlikely.
Is it funny? Hell yeah!
Don’t say I didn’t warn you! Screenshots after the jump

I’m in an office with my back (and monitor) towards a whole bunch of co-workers. They can always see what I’m browsing and I often get remarks about what my monitor shows. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t watch a lot of adult content while at work, but still.
Apparently one entrepreneur felt the need to come up with this gadget to make it easier to check out certain types of content undisturbed. Check out the “Retrovisor Antiflagra” which translates to “Mirror Stop Flagging Adult Content”.

More info about that one here.

In case you missed this in the title: this is a seriously NSFW (Not Safe for Work) story. You have been warned!
I sorta missed the whole ‘two girls one cup‘ phenomena a while ago but Arjen today introduced me to the newest craze. It is called ‘2 guys 1 horse’ and it becoming a similar hype as the original ‘two girls one cup’ hype. Right now there are close to 500 reaction videos for “2 Guys 1 Horse Reaction” and you can expect a lot more.
Just in case you have no idea what I’m talking about here is a small introduction: There is a new phenomena on the web where people find an awful, nauseating, dirty video, show it to people and film their reactions.
After a while you don’t even have to see the original anymore (I never saw “2 girls 1 cup”!) because the reactions are so much funnier to watch if you don’t know what they are looking at. If you want to join the group simply watch one of these video’s and record your own face while you do it. Fun for the whole family!
So, if you can resist I would strongly advise you to skip both the ‘two girls one cup’ and the “2 Guys 1 Horse” and just enjoy the reactions videos. Here is mine:
No, I’m not linking to the original videos! If you REALLy want to see them (you pervert!) you will have to find them yourself!

This must be the most memorable, impressive and cool Microsoft Zune Ad EVER! Unfortunately it isn’t by Microsoft and no, you won’t EVER see it on TV. You will also, most likely, never forget it, ever.
Now sit back and relax, get a bucket and some tissues within reach, and click play:
