INAPPROPRIATE!

While looking at the Zazzle.com selection of baby clothes I suddenly realized that many of the "humorous" lines on them would have drastically different implications if they were to be worn by an adult. Most of them have to do with input and output, i.e. breast feeding and diaper filling. Some are different; I have no idea what "crotch goblin" means. I'd love to see these in real life. I'd be impressed by anyone who had the guts to wear one. Enjoy.

First, what they are suppose to look like. Cute, right?

Now, for something completely different:

This guys' creepy without the shirt.

Still creepy.

All of the shirts and more can be seen at Zazzle.com. Of course, you'll have to do a little digging and use your imagination.

"The Killer Inside Me"

The main menu screen for the DVD of "The Killer Inside Me" has to faint inscriptions behind the video. They are mostly obscured, but you can get a glimpse of them periodically.  One, in lower right quarter of the screen is a line from the movie: "I figure you don't get any more out of life that you put into it", said by the main character.

The second is an inscription from a press photograph taken by Arthur Fellig, pseudonym Weegee, who worked in the Lower East Side of New York City during the 1930s and '40s. He took stark pictures of urban life, crime, injury and death.

The inscription here is from a photo of a dead man lying on the street, eyes open, and simply states "Shot & killed on east side street". It appears in the upper left corner of the main menu and is the identical hand-written inscription that appears on the original Weegee photo.
