Tech: Google’s real problem with their background images: No balance

Why did everyone hate Google putting background images on their site yesterday? Because, unlike Bing, they grafted the idea onto the old design (poorly). source

Politics: Two purposely awful Photoshops on the Charlie Crist situation

  • We tried to make these Photoshops extra awful… bad cutouts, obvious cliches, the whole bit. We’re pretty sure the Kanye shades aren’t even cut out all the way! But let’s face it. The Florida governor has better taste in wolf shirts than Panda Bear. Marco Rubio may have youth and momentum going in his direction, but Charlie Crist has the indie vote. source

Offbeat: Ben & Arthur: The worst film we’ve ever seen. God, it’s bad.

  • Next time you watch a film and claim it’s the worst ever, don’t forget “Ben & Arthur.” Shot on an almost nonexistent budget with actors who have nonexistent acting abilities, this piece of gay-themed cinema (which, by the way, plays the “gay” card a bit too heavyhandedly and in hilarious ways) holds a spot in the Top 10 of IMDB’s Bottom 100 – and deservedly so. Sam Mraovich, the director and main actor, is largely at fault for the awfulness. Fortunately, it’s the kind of awful you can laugh at. So laugh, guys, laugh. source
