70s Spanish Porn Posters

August 8th, 2005 at 2:33 pm by johnsee (Humour, Around the World)

70s Porn PostersThese are great! Pictures from Spanish adult films from the 70’s. Many of them are send ups of mainstream culture. Some of my favourites would have to be the Asterix Comic Sendup and the 2001: Space Odyssey sendup. Check them out… right now… right here!

Counterfeit JeansAnd whilst we are on the topic of flickr photo galleries, who could not love this pair of jeans. Being sold as knockoffs in china they obviously print off the jeans labels from an excel or access database, but some glitch has caused it to print off that line of excel code.

SAW 2 ~ First Trailer Released

August 5th, 2005 at 6:01 pm by johnsee (Movies)

Saw was possibly one of the best movies I have ever seen. Top 5 without a doubt. It’s the one movie I don’t think anyone could at the end say… gee… I saw the end twist coming. I loved it…

I noticed today that the trailer for the second movie is online. The second movie continues to follow the dying villian of the movies ‘Jigsaw’, and Detective Eric Mason’s continuing attempts to track him down. If this movie is even half as good as the first, it’ll be a must see.

Childrens Day at the Beach

August 5th, 2005 at 2:19 pm by johnsee (Humour)

This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly age 6)

Oysters’ balls are called pearls. (James age 6)

Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She’s not my friend no more. (Kylie age 6)

A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head. (Billy age 8)

My uncle goes out in his boat with pots, and comes back with crabs. (Millie age 6)

When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes, when the wind didn’t blow, the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would be better off eating beans. (William age 7)

I like mermaids. They are beautiful, and I like their shiny tails. How do mermaids get pregnant? (Helen age 6)

I’m not going to write about the sea. My baby brother is always screaming and being sick, my Dad keeps shouting at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can’t think what to write. (Amy age 6)

Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers. (Christopher age 7)

My Mom has fishnets, but doesn’t catch any fish (Laura age 5)

When you go swimming in the sea, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small. (Kevin age 6)

When me and Sarah went to the sea side in the summer holidays, we hid in the sand dunes and watched my big sister doing it with her boy friend. It was fun. (Lauren age 7)

When I grow up, I want to be captain of a big ship, and have lots of sailors. (Valerie age 6)

Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Two divers can’t go down alone, so they have to go down on each other. (Becky age 8)

On holiday my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won’t do it again because water shot up her fanny. (Julie age 7)

Life as a Dealer

August 3rd, 2005 at 9:40 pm by johnsee (Around the World)

Newsweek Meth Article ImageNewsweek has an interesting article about the life of a now imprisoned drug dealer. The article looks at how he started dealing and points out the type of clients he dealt too, Doctors and Laywers… not 20 something ravers.

It’s interesting to see the story from the other side.

Secrets

August 2nd, 2005 at 4:08 pm by johnsee (Online)

Grouphug is a site thats been around for a fair while now. It basically allows people to post online anonymous confessions. Some are everyday things like ‘I forgot to clean my teeth this morning’, but some are much, much more sinister, like admitting to rape or being abused as a child.

I came across another site today that seems to have taken the grouphug idea one step further. Postsecret is a site that encourages people to send selfmade creative postcards to an address, with a secret on it. Some of these are incredibly creative and its well worth a look here.

deviantART Uproar ~ What community on the internet can mean

August 1st, 2005 at 5:00 pm by johnsee (Online)

I lurk over at deviantART. Every so often I post something I have created, normally photo manips or just straight photography. Its a site with a huge sense of community. I probably pop my head onto the front page once a week to see what’s going on.

Visiting the site today I saw some thing strange, almost every artwork on the front page that people had ‘favourited’ was devoted to one of the sites founders ‘jark‘. It seems that jark, one of the founders of deviantart has now been removed from the administration of the site, and not by choice. It’s caused an outrage. This is easily the biggest art site on the internet, over 14 million pieces of work, but like all community websites, its the endusers who have the end say.

It’s happening here, the site is about to celebrate its 5th year anniversary, and for an internet site, thats a long time. The users are calling boycott, post nothing or post it in yellow (the trademark colour of jark). It’s great to see users showing they want a community website, not a business.

250 KM/h Crash Pictures

August 1st, 2005 at 2:21 pm by johnsee (Around the World)

Car Crash ThumbnailWaaaaaaay back at the start of the year I did an entry on speeding and a few horrific pics. I just got linked to these pictures. They were taking from an accident in Sweden…

* The Honda rider was traveling at such a “very high speed”, his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident.

* Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (for the U.S. folks, that’s 155mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider’s reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn’t sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes.

* The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 3m (10 feet) from where the collision took place.

* All three involved (two in car and rider) were killed instantly.

Snopes Reveal Some of the Stranger Questions…

August 1st, 2005 at 1:51 pm by johnsee (Humour, Online)

Snopes is one of the bigger sites on the net. Think of it as online mythbusters. They basically debunk myths, hoax’s and those annoying chain emails that never turn out to be true. They’ve just published a list of some of the more stranger questions they’ve recieved by email, and some of them are just gold. Check them all out here

They say that if a person has a pet cat and dies, if the person’s body is not found fairly soon after death, the cat, having not been fed, will become ravenously hungry and eat the dead person’s face off — JUST the face!

Is this true? My cat often looks me in the face. I used to think he was just being friendly. Now I know he’s just sizing me up, like a chef at a butcher shop, waiting for “the big day”. Since hearing this rumor, every time my cat licks his chops it gives me the willies!
