To admire the intense stupidity that is CNN.



Did anyone ever read the Onion article about the guy who makes these things? I think he killed himself after this one. I love the dollar signs in front of the 50 dollar bills. Just in case.


Tragically, the rise of digital imagery at home has spread this disease to the corporate world. A project involving, say, an Oracle-based LDAP directory, commissioned by an Israeli company, would get a quarter-page collage, including:

  • The client's logo
  • The shop's logo
  • Oracle's logo
  • A photograph (or Visio line-art) of the hardware to be used
  • An "LDAP logo", except there isn't one. Instead, something evocative of "directories" like the Yellow Pages logo, or maybe just the word "LDAP" in 36-point Arial.
  • A close-up of someone's face. Or eyes. (thanks, Microsoft)
  • A star of David


This creation would then grace every cover page of every project plan, project proposal, project status report, project projection, project post-mortem, and project-related termination notice.

Ray!


And yet, in all the mayhem, maybe there's room for a little subversive cool stuff. For example, do my eyes decieve me or is that a cannabis plant in the background? My eyes probably do decieve me in this case, but you see what I mean.
