Piano Stairs?

If you have not noticed America is obese.

We lead the world in number of obese citizens.

There is even an organization for the obese society,

and a conference was held this past year.

To help this cause, these piano stairs have started

to pop up everywhere in hopes to increase stair use.

Taking the stairs for a total of just two minutes,

five days a week, gives you the same calorie-burning

results as a 20-minute walk. Burns 100-140.

I. LOVE. WALMART.

-Let’s face it; we all have seen the people who obviously don’t have mirrors and/or family and friends to lock them in a basement, and they all seem to congregate at Walmart. It’s not everywhere that you can shop for milk at 10 a.m. next to a 400lb mother of 6 wearing a pink tube top, leopard tights, and hooker heels. Where else can one go to pick up underwear at 3 O’clock in the afternoon and spot the greatest mullet of all time paired with a mustard stained wife beater (which only accents the extreme amount of body hair) and camo pants that were actually used in Vietnam. And if you haven’t run into the 6’2” beast with a shaved head, rockin a wonder bra, flannel cutoff shirt, and jean shorts at 2 a.m. when you’re there to pick up frozen pizza, chips, and cookies, then you can get the f*ck out right now.

-Ch Ch Check out peopleofwalmart.com. I personally have nothing against Walmart. I, along with most of America, shop at Walmart for nearly everything we need. This site is simply a satirical social commentary of the extraordinary sights found at America’s favorite store. The website also justifies its outrageous photos in a fairly articulate and respectable manner. 'We are trying to have some fun here and there is a difference between someone who is mentally challenged and a person who has a fu Manchu and is still rocking MC Hammer pants". Walmart is Americana baby, ENJOY IT!
Here are a few personal favorites...

My Hat and Glasses

This kid has been all over Michigan campus, primarily michigan state, central michigan, and western michigan. His main goal: get as many people as he can to take a picture with his hat and his glasses. The group was started April 25th and it just for fun and totally random. As of today he is at 3,560 pictures, all of them mainly of intoxicated students at house parties or tailgates. I found two of my friends while clicking through the pictures, it was weird but hilarious. Check them out for yourself.. My Hat and Glasses

Controversial Photographer, Sally Mann

The following was called Candy Cigarettes, please note that this is note a real cigarette in her child's hand.




The following photos were all taken by Sally Mann, and they are all of her children. Sally Mann adjusted exposure so that all of her photos were black and white. Also, another interesting fact about the photographer is that she uses a 5x7 camera that used to be her fathers. I am still debating how I feel about these and they have been quite a controversial topic over the years. Critics are uneasy about these photographs as well, however, Mann states that the photos seem natural through the eyes of a mother, and that she has seen her children in every state. Feel free to leave comments on your opinion... does Mann cross the line, or is this art?

The Downfall of Intelligence

Liu Bolin: The Invisible Man

Liu Bolin, from Shandong, China, manages to camouflage himself in any surroundings, no matter how difficult they might be.

Liu works on a single photo for up to 10 hours at a time, to make sure he gets it just right, but he achieves the right effect: sometimes passers-by don’t even realize he is there until he moves.

Bolin says his art is a protest against the actions of the Government, who shut down his art studio in 2005 and persecutes artists. It’s about not fitting into modern society. Despite problems with Chinese authorities, Liu’s works are appreciated at an international level. Basically, he's a total badass.

The last one is particularly epic.
