Over on Oli Beale’s website there’s an amusing post about he how he tortures his friend James on Facebook. Oli explains: “I like going on my friend’s Facebook page, taking photos of him, changing his face slightly then putting them back up on Facebook. He doesn’t like me doing this.”
The results are pretty freakin’ funny. For a good laugh, go to OLI + ALEX to see more ‘shopped images of James.
Now we know what’s in Spock’s scanner. Mystery solved!

Siavosh Zabeti, and Alexander Kalchev create a FaceBOOK, a social network in hard copy form. De-evolution.
Bouygues Telecom asked us to come up with an idea to launch their facebook platform. They wanted us to create something that would go beyond using your profile picture in a funny way, or pranking your friends with a small joke.
We decided to look at the way we use facebook and found that even though we use the social networking site everyday, we forget our favorite moments we share online. So we created an app that could change that, and keep your facebook, in a book.
These are just three of the disturbing images found on the website of California artist, Brendan Lott, who finds the source for all of them, it seems, online:
So I finally abandoned my studio practice and began to spend my art making time collecting digital snapshots anonymously from peer-to-peer file sharing networks. I can access the snapshots of thousands of people at a time all across the globe. These are images of people I know nothing about and cannot ever know personally—only look at. The network serves as both a barrier and a bridge—I can see photographic depictions of their lives but never actually know them, and the people depicted have no way of knowing me.
Even stranger (yet somehow truer to life now as we know it), Lott himself never touches a canvas. So as to better stay, as he puts it, “above the fray,” Lott outsources the actual painting of the works to artists living in China. The top piece’s title, by the way? “All I Have To Give You Is A Love That Never Dies.”
If there is one thing our descendants will judge the 00s for more than the presidency of George W. Bush, it’ll be f—-ing social media. But now, both horrors have teamed up to create the ultimate Voltron of Suck.
Staffers for former President George W. Bush have an answer to the Facebook community’s generally negative view of them: We’ll start our own.
In a move reminiscent of the Bush White House’s decision to create an “Office of Special Plans” to find evidence tying Saddam Hussein to al Qaeda in an effort to end-run the Pentagon and the CIA when things weren’t turning out their way, former deputy White House press secretary Tony Fratto is leading an effort to create a social networking hub for “Bushies only.”
In an interview with Politico, the erstwhile spokesman said efforts to program the site are underway and that a site would likely launch by the end of the year.
The only way I can possibly respond to this is by offering a humble prayer at the altar of Anonymous: Please, 16-year-old geniuses, please… enjoy yourself with this.
