In Loving Memory of The Boom Economy and Other Choice Links

Nice art: Street artist K-Guy put up this creation — “In Loving Memory of The Boom Economy” — outside the Bank of England, Threadneedle Street, Central London. More brilliant pictures here. (Via Neatorama)
Is there no limit to the banality of the web? Recreating that feeling of falling asleep while watching a movie (there’s a choice of movies to fall asleep to).
Picture this: Advanced Style is a blog with pictures of older folk with impeccable style.
Lunch is for wimps: The sequel to 80s blockbuster Wall Street is being fast tracked because real life events will pull in the punters.
Politics: An interactive Sarah Palin Oval Office. If you visit one Palin link, make it this one.
Power of suggestion: The Fisher-Price Little Mommy Cuddle ‘n Coo is meant to make realistic baby sounds and occasionally cry out for its “mama” but buyers reckon the doll is a Muslim propagandist and says “Islam is the light”. Listen to the doll here.
Celebrity: Jay Z is feeling the pinch and has dropped his appearance fee.
Mantyhose: Fashion, fetish or joke?
Talking to the fishes: Using the same visual coincidence that has the religious right claiming to see Jesus in a piece of toast, this photo, taken at British underwater aquarium, includes a rock formation which at certain angles looks like a disembodied human head.
Video: An hilarious montage of pageant mothers (and fathers) and the directions they give their little princesses while they’re on stage.

Man…looking at some of those mothers, the gene pool is a bit dodgy. You know what they say…look at the mother to see what the child will end up like!

Poor poor Emily – man she looked funny watching that dude!
I had to laugh at the poor dad(?) at 1 min 22 sec looking so darn bored! I wish someone had put him out of his misery and given him a radio to listen to sport or something…

Anyone notice that the “moms” are all overweight and ugly? Trying to relive their youth perhaps? I think they should all be shot. No child under 10 should be wearing makeup or fake tan (some of them even hair pieces and fake teeth). It’s disgusting.

Apalling! Not to mention very, very sad.

I find that quite disturbing.

Wow that totally looks like a head.
