Facebook lets you “like” most anything these days, and recently their supercomputers started taking guesses at things you might like based on your current interests (check the right column when you log in if this doesn’t sound familiar).
Why This Is Interesting
Facebook’s guesses are purely data driven. They usually make sense but not always. For example, behold this steaming turd of a suggestion I received:
This got me wondering about how awesomely weird/ironic/offensive can these get?
The Challenge
Screen shot “interesting” suggestions from Facebook and submit them either via reply or leave comment on our FB page (or my personal page if you know me).
“Prize”
Prize in quotes because we don’t have real shit to give you. But submit something awesome and we will promote the entity of your choice with some link love and an FB like button in a results post. That entity can be yourself. Or the fan page for cancer, I dunno, whatever.
Related note: Now you can start like-ing Brasky posts (no worries, we’ll get the “hate” button up for you as soon as it’s out of alpha). Try it and receive a free iPod:
After a spirited effort over Algeria to advance from group play at the World Cup, the USA team lost to Ghana 2-1 in extra time. Soon after England, who also advanced from group play, lost to Germany 4-1. American sportscaster Mike Tirico and Englishmen Steve McManaman looked pretty OK about it when an accidental live shot cut on the screen.
This marks the second consecutive world cup that the USA club was ousted by Ghana:
In seriousness, cheers to the US squad and Bob Bradley for a strong showing. Next match: 2014. Hopefully.
Filthy bum gets humped by best friend in public. Cameras roll.
Last week I was talking to my boss in our office in downtown Miami office when suddenly something caught his eye – “…wait–is that really happening?” I follow his gaze out the window to spot a man getting vigorously humped by a large black dog — right on the sidewalk on Miami’s otherwise-posh Brickell Avenue.
This is a picture of a man getting humped by a dog.
Instinctively, I exploded out of the office with camera phone in hand and joined a small group of bystanders, all scrambling for a picture and/or an eyeful of the spectacle. The bum seemed at least 2 intoxicants removed from reality, so I was able to casually shoot the following clip….
This went on for about 30 minutes. Eventually the dog humped itself to exhaustion and found a comfy plot of concrete next to his soulmate (who was feeling cuddly)
Enlarge at your own risk
No word on what became of our undoubtedly-smelly hobo friend, but I don’t think there are too many more rungs to which you can slip after the “humped by dog in public” rung. My guess is that he was gang-raped and eaten alive by the other rabid bums that thickly pervade downtown Miami.
