Julie Moult, Idiot
And now a break in our regular lunacy as we make way for The Learning Moment here on neOnbubble. Readers with photosensitive epilepsy who survived our recent article on "The History of Blinking Text" and those offended by idiots, journalists, idiot journalists, and women named Julie should look away now. If there’s one thing I like more in the world than people who don’t understand when I’m being sarcastic then that’s the rather special group who go by the name of "idiots". One such idiot is the journalist Julie Moult who has written for such bastions of worthy news reporting as The Sun and The Daily Mail. Julie Moult has ired Bloggerheads’ Tim Ireland through her history of ridiculous news articles but until recently he remained as calm as only an antipodean can be when faced with general idiocy. And then she wrote this article which demonstrated exactly how little she knew about the many, many internets out there. Added to her diatribe against Nazi Raccoons this was just too much idiot-related nonsense to bear. Tim has written quite extensively about how he feels regarding Julie Moult being an idiot and devised an image challenge, the goal of which is to create a picture expressing Julie’s moronic status. By naming the file appropriately the intent is to explain – teach, even – a little something about the world to a person who, as a journalist producing stories and articles for newspapers [sic] like The Sun and The Daily Mail, should appreciate the effort. I don’t like idiots like Julie Moult and I do like raccoons; I simply cannot stand by and do nothing. Original picture by Jon Rawlinson I’m looking forward – and I bet she is too – to seeing just whose images appear where in the image search results for "Julie Moult" over the next few weeks. It’s always nice and rewarding to elevate an idiot to quasi-moron or above – even if only briefly – and you must feel absolutely free to produce pictures of Julie Moult on your own blog too. And, if you don’t think that she is a twit and that pieces of journalism such as her anti-Muslim story without a shred of evidence is harmless fun, unlikely to cause unrest (and follow-on stories!) and to be expected from reporters these days then why not express what a really nice person Julie Moult is instead, you...
Classic Slug Magazines
Ever since I posted some classic Vintage Slug Advertising of yesteryear people have come up to me in the street and asked me just where I managed to obtain such quality published incitements to purchase slugs and slug-related paraphernalia. My answer: my extensive collection of slug magazines dating back numerous decades and from all four slug-trailed corners of the globe. Slug magazines such as these: Modern Slug Slughouse Weird Slug Stories...
Flickr Favourites Psychoanalysis
Recently I’ve become far more involved in my amateur (very, very amateur) hobby of photography. With the increase in the involvement of photography has come an increase in the exploration of all things Flickr-related as that’s where I store and upload my least embarrasing captures. I can spend hours browsing the groups, flicking (no pun intended (I lie, it was intended)) from photostream to photostream, leaving comments, getting ideas, getting depressed at other people’s skills, joining adult groups to perv at naughty pictures and quickly leaving before anyone spots I joined, and marking photos as favourites. I have come to realise that a person’s favourite photos says a lot about that person. Take me, for instance: My Flickr Favourites From this glimpse into my psyche we can see that I’m drawn to blues and greens, cooling colours. I like old-looking photos given faux retro feelings or photos taken by old equipment. I also like dark images showcasing dystopianism. Arty shots are prevalent; those where a lot of thought has gone into the composition. To summarise, I’m cool, I care about the look and feel, I’m nostalgic, I’m moody. Not bad. So I got to wondering about some of my contacts. Claire’s Favourites Claire’s Website Analysis: One look at all that flora and fauna tells you that Claire is an all natural girl! In my mind she’s an au naturel girl but that’s because I’m filthy. She’s also got two of my pictures among her favourites meaning that she has fine taste indeed. Or no taste at all. I’m undecided on that so far. Summary: Natural and tasty. Like a nice watermelon. Jason’s Favourites Jason’s Website Analysis: Jason’s choices show that he likes pictures with signs of urban decay in them; a nihilistic quality indicating pessimism. He’s also keen on pictures of ladies, a sure indication that he’s male despite any of those rumours I’ve tried spreading to the contrary. Tucked among his favourites too are a couple of pictures of dolls. What sort of grown man likes dolls? Summary: Sexual deviant convinced he’s going to get caught in the act one day. Alistair’s Favourites Alistair’s Website Analysis: Alistair has quite a mixed choice of favourites including photos and cartoons, landscapes, animals, plastic toys, and close-ups of faces. There is a chaotic vortex at work here mashing together visions of today and reminiscences of a youth that possibly never was. Summary: Short-sighted man suffering from crippling...
Further Fictional Future Fun
Fun not guaranteed. Yes, as promised or, more accurately, generally hinted at previously here, it’s another entry in the Vintage Ads Of Fictional Futures competition. By Jove! There’s A Large One Here! But wait! There’s more! For a limited time only, for every one photoshopped entry posted in this post you’ll receive another photoshopped entry absolutely free!!!. That’s a saving of over nine in the scale that I’m currently using to measure savings. Wow! Look At The Size Of Little Jimmy’s Weapon! The second one’s pretty easy to identify; the first one probably less so if you’re not a fan of incredibly well-written science fiction unless someone’s gone out and invented some sort of engine that can search for information when you enter words you might spot in the advert. But I doubt that’s...
A Vintage Fictional Future
This is an entry for a competition run by Mark A. Rayner at his website. The competition is to create a vintage advertisement using a product from a fictional future – TV, book, or movie. The Vintage Fictional Future competition is here. Go and enter. You know you want to. Click here to view larger and actually be able to read the text I like the idea of this competition. Don’t be surprised to see more entries from me. Don’t be surprised to not see more entries either. What I’m trying to say here is: whatever I do, don’t be surprised. Or, if you are surprised, try to cover it up in a manner that doesn’t give away how surprised you are. I find surprise to be most unbecoming. Thankyou for...
