This 1987 PSA is a tried and true classic, bringing the immortal line "I learned it by watching you!" into our pop cultural lexicon. After years of searching for this commercial in vain, my quest came to an end when it turned up in VH-1's "I Love The '80s" series. The narrator at the end sure sounds like actor Orson Bean, to my ears

ATLANTA (June 23) - A worrisome superbug seen in prisoners and athletes is also showing up in people who get illegal tattoos, federal health officials said Thursday.
...
The tattooists sometimes did not use masks or gloves, did not properly disinfect skin and did not properly clean the equipment. One Ohio tattooist used a homemade tattoo gun made from a computer ink-jet cartridge and guitar strings, LeMaile-Williams said.

SCAMMER GETS SCAMMED OUT OF $41.50
Scammer Steve Ebe contacts me to attempt the usual 419 scam. Plans go along as normal, then all of a sudden comes a very rare chance to scam the scammer out of some cash - one of the Holy Grails of Scambaiting - a very exclusive club, and one that I finally manage to join!
Here's a color illusion that wouldn't fit on the main page.
You know what to do.
(Or, if you don't: just stare at the dot for 30 seconds. Then, without moving your eyes, move the mouse over the image. It will look like it's in color until you move your eyes.)

T-Shirts, pillows, coffee mugs, beer steins, teddy bears, tote bags, stickers, refrigerator magnets, and much much more is available branded with depictions of the prophet. Support the troops in the cartoon war!
These t-shirts will not get you laid, but they might get your head sawed off.
If you get the Throw Pillow rather than the T-shirt, you'll have a nice soft landing spot for them to toss your head after it's been sawed off.
THE MONSTER ENGINE - What if a kid's imagination....was better represented?

This guy really is good at what he does. Kid's draw pictures of their 'monsters' and super-heros, and he takes those pictures, and paints them realistically, all the while leaving the basic lines and scope of the drawings.
My son really enjoyed this site, as did I. It is very interesting!
"Louisville artist Matt Gatton started thinking of primitive people hunkering inside caves and arrived at a radical, quite possibly revolutionary and insistently plausible theory of the origin of representational art.
It struck Gatton, a St. Francis High School art teacher, that the question of how Paleolithic people got the notion to create representational art could be answered by their living conditions. Holes in the animal hides that covered their dwellings could have projected images from outside -- a phenomenon of physics we now call camera obscura. The people could then have traced the images onto their cave walls."
I had to make one. How can I grow old as an artist and have people ask "What did you do during the Cartoon War?" and have nothing to show for it except a thumb up my ass. How many calls to arms will artists get in a lifetime? Artists should have a duty to make their own personal Muhammad Cartoon! Causing fear is how terror extremist groups gauge if they are winning or not. The world needs to stop being afraid of these idiots and paint them up like clowns with guns. Any group which cannot respect another world view deserves to look stupid. They need to start taking themselves much less seriously. Remember The Guru Maharaj ji ? He ripped off his followers for decades and promised to levitate the Houston Astro Dome with "Green Energy"(where was this bastard during Katrina???). I understand that people like to believe in their magic little spiritual worlds, to get the rush you get when you feel self important for no good reason at all. And everyone should have every right to do so. However, not acknowledging fundamentals of reality makes you look like an idiot to people who see things differently. Do you think some people are stupid? So do I! It's not about morality, right or wrong, or any self-righteous platform... It's about TRUTH. If you want yours to Dominate someone else's, those people are going to look at you either like a big fat DUMMY or a God (as if you have to ask which you might look like!). Getting irate, belligerent, and violent doesn't change the fact that some people are not interested in your Kool-Aid! This goes for you neo-right-wing-jesus juice slurping-fascist-christians as well. If your spirituality is not a PERSONAL experience... There is a large chunk of the world who considers you an ASSHOLE and your way of life ANNOYING! If you don't like having your bible-bubble burst, then SHUT the fuck up and it's a non-issue! When you open the panel for discussion, you will learn that "religion" does not equal "reality" and you will deserve it.
T-Shirts and other merchandise of my cartoon are available HERE. I think that the fact that I made one when there are Fatwas going around prooves that my balls are big enough to warrant your support.
