These fun low quality animations were all the rage back in the days of GeoCites, and again for a while during the MySpace era. Well its looks like they are coming back again, and this time gaining steam with the youngsters and their smart phone.
That is where this new social network comes in. GIFBOOM, makes creating, sharing and networking with GIF loving fools everywhere simple and easy and completely functional on any decent smart phone.
Maybe more people should start picketing their picketing…lol This was a great idea and would love to see more people make these idiots at the WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH look bad.
On Aug. 30th, 2011 Westboro Baptist Church called for a picket of the Foo Fighters show in Kansas City. They had a little something up their sleeve. God Bless America.
From the people who brought you Jackass The Movie, comes an interesting documentary about a family of Appalachian Tap Dancing Hicks. Produced by Johnny Knoxville this entertaining piece drew my attention and has since been circulating through my group of friends with wild reactions. This movie depicts the real life of some of the craziest, red necked, down home dirty white trash you have ever seen in your entire life…and they are PROUD of it.
My favorite part of the below video is at 1:16

This video below is the official trailer for the movie, censored of course.
This goes along with the idea that old people using iPhones makes them less cool. [iPhones Are Not Cool Anymore.] However since YouTube us a Google product somehow it had the opposite effect here. This video of this elderly couple crack my up. They are too funny.
Sometimes the best kind of viral video is one that’s a complete accident. That’s what happened when an elderly Oregon couple tried to take a picture of themselves using their new laptop’s webcam. Instead, however, they unwittingly recorded a hilarious video of themselves (scroll down to see the whole video). In it, 86-year old Bruce Huffman burps, makes faces, and shamelessly flirts with his 79-year-old wife Esther who ignores him while she tries to figure out how to take a photo. Esther was especially perplexed when she saw an error message pop up that read, “‘warning you must stop recording before trying to close.'” Esther went on to say, “Gee but I don’t know what I’m recording. Shucks.” For one fleeting moment, Bruce almost figured out what was going on when he sais, “maybe it’s recording us?” Unfortunately instead of exploring that possibility they moved on to another topic: their wrinkles. Apparently, their granddaughter had tried to teach the charming couple how to use the webcam. When the granddaughter was on the new computer a few days later, she found the funny video and posted it to YouTube. The Huffmans are now Internet sensations. Not only has their video been viewed more than 2 million times, but they’ve appeared on several television news shows. They aren’t the first couple to accidentally record themselves. Earlier this year, a video of elderly couple Rita and Frank doing the exact same thing got nearly 1.5 million views on YouTube. I can’t decide which video’s better! What do you think?

Some students at the University of Kentucky with collaboration from the Christian Student Fellowship organized the largest water balloon fight to my knowledge in recorded history. The event used 175,141 water balloons and involved 8,957 people. They also put this cool little video together to show the setup and the fight in slow motion. I recommend watching the fight in 720 HD.
This reminds me of another crazy college film i saw a few years back from the University of Dayton where they organize this run to get good hotels for a school trip to Daytona Beach Florida.
My new favorite trend online is what i like to call the COMBINATION CREATURE. This is when you take a few creepy scary or funny animals and combine them together to make the most awesome new monster.
A few of my favorites are below.

If like any other person that wasn’t under Harry Potter’s spells you thought the end to the story line/films was terrible. You will completely enjoy this remake.
A stop motion animation that I created as my final project for my “Art and Alternative Media” class at Boston College. The movie is comprised of over 300 frames, and the only materials that I used were paper, colored pencils, glue, and cardboard. Using graph paper I recreated the pixel data 1:1 with the different colored pencils and then cut out each “sprite” after gluing it to cardboard for stability. The coloring and cutting out took a long time, but shooting the frames and putting together the video probably in total took about 36 hours. Please enjoy it, rate, and comment!
