The Internet, I love Thee. #3

Submitted by astone on Friday, 20 February 200911 Comments

Alright everyone, we have some good stuff this week and a special surprise: Our first Poll, which you will see below. The Internet is full of all kinds of stupidity, and I (as usual) have sorted through it all to bring you the best of the best of this crap. So, I suppose that we should get started. I’ll hit you with a good one right off the bat.

Everyone has those friends (or maybe they aren’t your friends), that at times are complete douchebags. This one is an oldy buy a goody. The guys over at Barats & Bareta.com made this “Douche Off” video that has really inspired me. Take a lo0k:

I know, it’s so true. As I said, the video really inspired me, and while I was checking in on good ol’ Facebook today, I noticed some unprecedented development in the douche world. See, my fraternity brothers Alex Nourse and Kyle Paez had both recently changed their profile pictures to none other than the classic douche-tacular shirt off with the 6 pack abs showing profile pictures. This douchyness has caused me to make a poll. A poll that will decide which picture is the most douche-like. I will let the voting go for one week and then I will announce theĀ  winner of iloveuab.com’s first official Douche Off. Let me introduce the contestants:

First off we have Alex Nourse with the confused “wow, where did these abs come from, I don’t even work out” look on his face:

Next, we have Kyle Paez’s picture where it seems he has actually opened up the picture in Microsoft Paint and hand drawn a sun into the picture. Also, it seems he has photo shopped someones arm into the pictures to better emphasize how many friends he has. This is classy, I mean douchey:

kyle-paez-doucheNow folks, I know this is going to be a hard decision, but I am leaving it up to you to make the call on who has the douchiest Facebook profile photo. Cast your Votes!

Who has the Douchiest profile picture?

Alright. Sorry I got a little off track there, but I had to settle that heated dispute once and for all. Next up, we have this crazy picture from Mexico city where photographer Spencer Tunick photographed 18,000 naked people to break the world record. This is insane. Yes I said Eighteen-Thousand.

This next one is absolutely awesome. OBAMA’S ELFFFFFFF!

And lastly, I am going to end with something that I would not normally post, but our Music and Culture writer Jessica Seales said I absolutely must post this “Kitten’s inspired by Kittens” video. It’s…..interesting…..

Until next week, keep it sleezy. -Stone

Oh yeah, and as always, our boy Mr. Chicity has posted a video. He finally went to court over his parking ticket. Here it is if you wanna see your boy kick some ass:
