Sure, Take the Tree’s Side

Submitted by: dunno source via Oddly Specific
This is obviously propaganda from those bastards at the Arbor Tree Foundation. Don’t be a victim! If your car has ever been attacked by a tree, speak up. There are people who will listen.

Debasing & Defacing the Dollar
Heh heh: Not what you Dollar Bears thought!
These are a half dozen of my favorites from 30 Bizarre Examples of Defacing Money from the aptly named site, MONEY MUMBO JUMBO:
And even though I was never a big Kiss fan, this one still tickles me:

La política en España
PP: Es indignante que el Gobierno hable de esa manera de la redondez de las alcantarillas.
PSOE: El PP está usando el asunto de las alcantarillas de manera electoralista.
PP: Los socialistas nunca han sabido gestionar las alcantarillas.
PSOE: Las declaraciones sobre las alcantarillas se debieron a un error de comunicación. Haremos el esfuerzo por explicarlo mejor a los ciudadanos.
PNV: Es hora de que Euskadi adquiera la competencia de autogestión sobre las alcantarillas.
UPyD: Lo que no puede ser es que no haya una alcantarilla única para toda España.
IU: Nos parece indignante que los grandes partidos nos dejen fuera del debate sobre las alcantarillas.
CiU: En Cataluña somos más de desagües.
Redundant Clock

New York-based designer Ji Lee’s Redundant Clock uses hands oriented toward the hour markings for its hour markings.
Browsing around Lee’s website, I also found this interesting work of guerrilla art. Lee puts empty speech bubbles over public advertisements and then photographs what people write in them.
Dante’s Internet
(click to enlarge)
In the year or so since I started blogging, I’ve found myself ingrained into a number of internet communities which will here remain unnamed. But I have stumbled a cross an unwritten set of rules governing these communities, and someone took these general principles and fashioned them into this handy “Dante’s Inferno” type chart.
I would think Spammers would be a bit deeper into the bowels of hell, but I definitely agree with People Who Talk at the Theater being at the bottom. I can never watch Paranormal Activity for the first time again you assholes! In any case, I’d be curious to see some ambitious author write a parody book about Internet Dante making his way through all these circles and battling trolls and what not. I’d write it myself, but I’m too busy correcting other people’s spelling and grammar.
