Meat America is a project by Philadelphia-based photographer Dominic Episcopo that celebrates America through the medium of meat. Episcopo’s tongue-in-cheek description of Meat America calls it “an eye-opening and artery-closing tour of America’s spirit of entrepreneurship, rebellion and positivity.” Nothing says “rebellion” like a ground beef WTF.
Being a consummate bachelor, this hilarious image by Elliott Doolittle is a helpful reminder for me to forgo Spaghetti-O’s and frozen dinners and actually do some real cooking.
(Thanks to Elliott for sending me this great photo!)
This chart by lunchbreath explaining how to describe used furniture on Craigslist is hilarious.
French photographers Laetitia Chretien and Sebastien Zanin are proof that creative photography doesn’t require expansive sets and obscure props to wow people. Armed with some streamers and confetti, they created these hilarious, yet slightly disturbing, photos depicting the day after a party. It seems fitting to post in the wake of New Year’s. Here at CMYBacon we fully support going wild at a party, but please try not to get to the level of puking ribbons the next morning. You’ve been warned.
Once again, it’s that wonderful time of year where children go back home to their parent’s house for a few days and, in exchange for presents and home-cooked meals, get to play tech support for their parents. Now let’s be honest kids…we kinda owe it to them. But if you’re patience is running thin then maybe you could send mom and dad some simple tech support videos from Teach Parents Tech. It’s a funny (but actually well done) website created by some folks at Google who are obviously pretty good at teaching tech basics.
United Steaks of America is a funny project by artist Brad Wicklund that my friend Yojiro told me about. Each of the 50 U.S. states is depicted in the form of a steak and is aptly screen printed on a sheet of freezer paper. You can buy individual prints at Brad’s Etsy store and you can see all 50 steaks on his Flickr page.
So I’m not sure where this is originally from (I saw it over at at Exquisite Crap), but I think it’s brilliant.
Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., so that means I, like all Americans, will spend the day being as gluttonous and self-indulgent as possible. And in honor of this decadent holiday here is an advertisement for Camel cigarettes that was in Life magazine in 1936. The ad argues that smoking cigarettes improves digestion and Camel recommends smoking at least one cigarette between each course of one’s Thanksgiving dinner “for digestion’s sake”. I wonder if this didn’t catch on because too many people were ashing in the gravy boat? Whatever the reason may be, I’d like to wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.
