I came across this article today courtesy of the Telegraph dealing with the age old question: do you make your dog sleep on the floor, or allow the cuddly critter up onto your bed so you can snuggle and wake up in a pool of saliva that (for once) is not your own? To be totally honest, I didn’t even read the article. I was about to, until I saw this photo:

Anything strike you as odd about that picture? Maybe the fact that it looks like that dog is getting cozy with the two dead bodies of his owners lying in bed together??? Look at those feet: they look cold, lifeless, and deceased. Even if you scrutinize their blurry faces in the background, they have that bloodless hue to them, not to mention more than a hint of “vacant, dead stare-itis.” It also may not be a coincidence that the dog kind of looks like it’s just realized it might not be getting fed any time soon. Perhaps it’s an odd choice of camera filter made by the photographer. Perhaps it’s a race of people who, unbeknownst to me, do not require circulation to survive. But whatever the reason, I took the liberty to photoshop back in what the Telegraph so clearly airbrushed out in the first place:

So this morning a story broke about New York Governer Eliot Spitzer being involved with a prostitution ring blah blah blah… As usual with political stuff, rather than wanting to know about the actual story I was more interested in the funny photos of the douchebag it was about, particularly the pics from CNN:

Is it just me, or does Spitzer look like he’s so embarrassed he’s trying to swallow his own head? It’s not totally unlike the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Guy:

Oh political scandals, you bring me hours of glee and delight. And at least a few minutes of Photoshop manipulation.

I went to CNN.com today only to find the following picture:

Ok, I admit to some level of photoshopping. But tell me they weren’t just asking for it!

While clicking through CNN.com today I came across an article about some Democratic primary thingy, and after my eyes immediately glazed over from the poo-slinging boredom that is politics, I saw this picture of Joe Biden:

First a quick disclaimer: I am not politically ignorant. I just hate politics and I can’t stand self-righteous people on either side of the spectrum. I also would rather leave politics out of this blog for the most part. They will inevitably slip in once in a while, but generally I’d like to avoid them. Also, I have no idea what the article was about because I didn’t read it. I was too busy being distracted by this photo.

Why? His eye. Look at it. It looks like he has no eyeball. It looks like an empty socket. It’s small, I know, but it really looks like it’s not there. I don’t even know how he managed that. I do know that it looks to me like the very epitome of the phrase “vacant stare.” It also inspired me to make this:

Any time I get an opportunity to do some good Photoshopping, I am a happy man. After all, drawing bloody eyeballs in the hands of politicians is what life is all about, isn’t it?
