Can't figure out what you want to say to your ex? Need to gather some words of encouragement? Some Ecards have filled the void with these electronic messages. I personally found these unseemly ecards to be very amusing. I guess that says quite a bit about my persona. So hit up that special someone and give them a sense of humor.
A community site where people can share stories about mistakes they've made in life and their advice to others. You can share your mistakes anonymously or publicly and then monitor to see if your advice helped a almost fellow mistaker. Only Human has a handful of other topics to browse and learn what not to do or tell other humans what to do. Everyone knows some advice in the relationship section never hurts. Some headlines that caught my attention were letting a girl fall to her peril, wearing jams, and buying a cheap plane ticket.
My favorite steam of original content, free of charge and 24 hours a day is none other than VBS.TV. It comes together with the creative direction of Spike Jonze and the correspondents of VBS. They mix it up with domestic and international news, pop and underground culture, and the best music in the world. In their own words "basically, VBS will exploit every utopian vision the internet has thus far failed to live up to". Watch the mission statement to get the gist. This system of broadcast will give you hours of video at your finger tips with the extremely easy to use player and remote. Create your MyVBS sector and collect all your faves in your library and soon to come: upload profiles, chat, and set system preferences. Also check out the empire of Vice and all their glory.
You maybe one of those really giving shoppers who buys in to the (RED) campaign, which don't get me wrong is great and has brought the donation of many causes wide spread. But for all you that just want to donate without getting crap there is (LESS). The (LESS) campaign is the collaboration between Romantic Static and Words Pictures Ideas that allows you to donate to great charities with out buying crap from major corporations. Just launched last week (LESS) is already making a huge impact with donation efforts. The support of the great ads for this campaign is sparking the fuse to lessen human suffrage without consuming.
To become a poolboy; this is the ambition of three young men by the names of Sam Rush, Denman, and The Swede. This isn't any aqua hole though. No, no, no this is the pool of topless gals and endless parties. This is the pool of the Playboy Mansion. You may say so, there are plenty of men out that would leave their present lame job for the opportunity to spray the Grotto down. Except, these three lads created a online guerrilla campaign called Poolboys at the Mansionfeaturing a blog, faq, and bio sheets. The three believe that they need the backing of the masses. They are asking for people to write letters of recommendation. With the help of your creative writing they may just kill the interview that comes up in August and score the job of a Playboy Poolboy.
