Oh crap. That's the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Something about the greyed-out figures makes it even funnier.

This is sheer genius.

"Get out of your sister's/aunt's/cousin's bedroom! When she gets back from the thrift store she's gonna be pissed! There is NOTHING in this image that should be spared from the fire pit.

The laughter - the tears - the tragedy."

I had to shut the office door to mask my laughs. Don't you hate it when that happens?

I don't know how often this link gets tossed around, but this is definitely reminiscent of Furniture Porn. Check out that amateur lawnchair action! Whoo! Breathtaking.

Does anyone remember the topic ISP which I think is one of the most hauntingly beautiful works I've seen in a long time. One ASPECT of the ISP project is with the pr0n removed you start to take in the commonplace objects in the rooms the pr0n was shot in. It REhumanizes(?) the photos in someway. This new link is ok, but please take a look at the ISP site if you haven't before.

The guy who did those also did a project called ISP which I think is one of the most hauntingly beautiful works I've seen in a long time.

I think the two sites are going for entirely different effects.

Personally, this nearly killed me:

"Treacy hats, hmmm, wear or do not wear, there is no try."

Too weird! Today I was (finally) reading my Metropolis magazine from January and found a blurb about this on page 25. I think it's fabulous, but personally I like Justin's scans from The Witch's Catalog even more. I loved that thing as a kid! I think I ordered it from Scholastic.
