“Firm and pink with just a hint of ‘bounce'”

Ebaylogotm-2

If you ever happen to sell something on Ebay, just pray that you don't attract the attention of mr_bo11ox, as he seems to be the master of leaving bizarre feedback.

You, Sir, have made an Ass out of us.

Assotron

I've said it before, and i'll say it again, sometimes you just stumble upon pure genius. And so it is with The Ass-O-Tron, a device that will take any web page and insert a nice big fat ass onto it. As you can see, it worked particularly well on YBNBY, but I suspect it would do a bang up job on CNN.com too.

One way to be cool

Okgo

This one was just too good to wait until my regular Saturday feature to share with you all. It's been a long time since a music video was so good it made me desperate to go buy the album, but this one does just that. A Million Ways to be Cruel by OK Go.

Fromage! Homard! .... yarn???

fromages.jpg

Princess Dani passed this one along to me. Some nutter makes these cheese plates and lobster dished out of yarn. Could someone who reads French give us a rundown on the site's commentary.

Can someone explain this?

novakpic.jpg

Remember the story about the CIA operative whose name was leaked as a way of punishing her husband, ambassador Joe Wilson, for disagreeing with the President.

Well, Matthew Cooper, Time’s White House correspondent, and Judith Miller of The New York Times were recently threatened with jail time if they don't reveal their source. Meanwhile, Robert Novak, the first guy to report it, doesn't have to do a thing. What's up with that?

And since I'm not allowed to call people names on this site, please go to google and type in "Robert", "Novak" and "Douchebag" and see all the cool links that come up.

Cubicle Warhol

18861176 B4Be9498Dd

From Mental Hygeine:

My boss decided that we needed to do something fun and creative in one of our conference rooms - the one we use for brainstorming and internal meetings - and together we came up with the idea of filling the wall with post-it notes in a multicolored mosaic of (and i’m not sure whose idea this was) Elvis.

Cool boss! I have to try that with a Marilyn Monroe in my office!

Toby Lives!

toby2.jpg

Despite all our fears, he's been spared. At least until November 6, 2006. Now, if 100,000 copies of the Save Toby! book are sold by that date, Toby won't be killed and eaten.

This guy just keeps moving the goal posts on us.

Flirting With The Mainstream

When you start a site like ours, really the best you can hope for is a Page Six mention.

Where do we go from here?

Dear Diary I.W.T.F.H.

teen.gif

Mortified is a showcase of people like you sharing their most embarrassing, pathetic and private teenage diary entries, poems, love letters, lyrics and locker notes... in front of total strangers. It's "personal redemption through public humiliation". After all, where else can you hear grown men and women confront their past with firsthand tales of their... first kiss, first puff, worst prom, fights with mom, life at bible camp, worst hand job, best mall job, reasons they deserved to marry Bon Jovi, etc?

Shared painful experiences ... shared.

Mortified NYC - July 17

Like Bunnies

ravenstoke.jpg

It looks like Toby may have some side projects.

Here he (or a suspiciously similar bunny) gets it on (like a bunny) in Ravenstoke, Alaska for a mediocre viral ad campaign. The story is that Ravenstoke is low on females so they spray the town with Axe. (Hilarity ensues.)

Celebrity Fat is more interesting than Nobody Fat

fitclubweb.jpg

It's a week of confessions. Here's another...I've watched every episode of Celebrity Fit Club. They recently announced the latest cast of tubalebrities. The list Includes: Gary Busey (excellent), Willy Ames (eight is too much), Phil Margera (Bam's Uncle) and Victoria Jackson (SNL alum).

Surreal Life is new, too.

Command-Z for Real Life (Control-Z for the Windows People)

Antigraffiti.jpg

Graffiti Archaeology was written up in the Times last week, but wasn't ready for its close up. The flood of traffic left the server too busy each time I tried to take a peak until I moved on. (By the way, let's hope our webmaster anticipated today's influx of Page Sixers.)

But the virtual crowd has now dispersed. The site takes you back in time through photographs, letting you peel away both the graffiti and the years. This would make a good wiki-project for other locations, where people could go back in their own archives and submit pictures of walls, bridges, whatever. Maybe a Page Six reader will see this, get inspired, and take the reins.

Freedom Tower - Take Two

view_from_hudson_overview.jpg

Pretty safe bet that by now you've seen the concept drawings for the new Freedom Tower. Check out a very cool architecture blog called Daily Dose of Architecture. Some really interesting facts on the new design. Consider this. The tower will stand on a 200 ft. impenetrable base. It's like our own little castle in downtown New York.
