I'm Out of a Job
It would seem that man's long time undisputed reign over the world of art and design is coming to an end, as (at least one) elephant is able to produce a self-portrait of itself using a brush and ink/paint.

Photoshop Disasters
Photoshop Disasters is an awesome website showcasing truly awful piece of Photoshop work with clumsy manipulation, senseless comping, lazy cloning and thoughtless retouching. A lot of the mistakes made me laugh out loud. And these are the people making the big bucks?!?!

Muggee Befriends Mugger
In a complete feel-good story, NPR reports an incident in which a 31-year-old NY man takes pity on his would-be mugger, gives him his coat, and buys him dinner. As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, "Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you're going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm." ...

Granted that a few of these "new sins" are just plain old common sense and moral things that humans should not do. For example: do not pollute the Earth. Well, no shit. Other sins at msnbc.com are things such as drugs, which "weaken the mind and obscure intelligence," an ...

Really, America? After 8 years with George W. Bush and his approval rating at an abysmal 19%, do you really want DC politics as usual for the next administration? Hillary Clinton has been launching a Rove-style fear campaign against Obama, right out of the Republican handbook and you're all lining up to get fucked again. wtf?!

The Onion has once again struck a chord in articulating something I've been noticing more and more, as of late, but have been unable to explain very well.
