Awkward Family Pet Photos

Ten days ago or so I wrote about a website featuring Awkward Family Photos.  They have now created a spin-off site called Awkward Family Pet Photos. Check out this Nativity Scene, or this one of A Girl and Her Horse, or the World's Best Dad, or this one of the Pater Familias.

Awkward Family Photos

Have you ever seen the website, "Awkward Family Photos"?  The title is pretty self-explanatory.  The Los Angeles Times has an article today that you can read HERE which has a selection of 13 pretty funny examples.  This one at left is more tame than some of the others featured in this article, including the naked couple holding their cats, and the smiling little girl proudly holding a 'surprising' book. 

Sketchy Mall Easter Bunnies

Last Christmas I posted a link to a website called Sketchy Santas that features vintage family photos of kids sitting on the laps of  particularly creepy looking mall Santas.  Well, they now have a companion website for mall Easter Bunnies that you can view HERE.

There Ought To Be A Law: Hoarding Pot Pies

I've written here several times before about our need as a nation to confront the staggering rates of obesity in this country as part of any significant reform of our health care system.  But changing eating habits and/or sedentary lifestyles is devilishly hard, even for the motivated (as evidenced by all of the weight loss commercials that blanket television and radio).  And this problem is further complicated by correlations to socioeconomic class. To achieve meaningful results across our population, people would probably have to be forced to change by some sort of government action, backed by stiff penalties for non-compliance and enthusiastic, almost repressive enforcement. But that 'cure' would probably prove to be worse than the 'disease' in the long run, in all sorts of predictable and unforeseeable ways. The elusiveness of a workable solution does not reduce the extent of this chronic problem, however.


A photo posted today on "People of Walmart" blog (which you can view by clicking HERE) has managed to capture, in eye popping fashion, multiple aspects of this problem simultaneously.  (If you look closely, it also calls out for a Reagan-era "catsup as vegetable" joke.)

More "People of Walmart": Love Me Tender

Have you ever checked out the website titled "People of Walmart"? Every day they post new photos taken by average people of bizarre or flamboyant customers at various Walmarts across the country. A photo posted today caught my eye, which you can see by clicking HERE.

Sketchy Mall Santas

Embedded below is a 2 minute piece from MSNBC's Willie Geist about sketchy mall Santas. He shows several old "on Santa's lap" photos. But there's one of a teenage boy that, really, is not to be missed.....

The People of Walmart

I really love the blog, "People of Walmart." Every day they post new photos taken by average people of other, bizarre customers inside various Walmarts (and in their parking lots) across the country. While occasionally some of the photos are probably not fair, especially those featuring people who are merely obese and poorly dressed, most subjects are clearly drawing attention to themselves intentionally. Here are three of my recent favorites. You can click on the titles to see the respective photos on the site: (i) Caged Heat , (ii) Today’s Special , and (iii) On The Catwalk.

The People of Walmart

Have you yet checked out the new website "People of Walmart"? It collects photos taken at various Walmarts that capture some of the more bizarre and/or eye-popping characters who haunt its aisles and parking lots.


Sure, some photos feature the predictable array of mullets and exposed coin slots that all of us have probably seen from time-to-time at a Walmart or at any other large retail chain anywhere in the country.


But boy-oh-boy are there also some real "eye poppers" posted here, too, including one of a woman nonchalantly wearing what appears to be a red sweatshirt with a large swastika emblazoned on the front. (What!?!) And who is that standing next to her in line?


Or the one of the old bearded man who looks a bit like Herman Melville from the neck up, but who just a bit further down appears to have had Dolly Parton-style breast implants.
