It works easily: Just take a photo, apply a censorship patch out of a total of four kinds, and save. I like the silk patch, which apparently lets you send photos with a censorship you can see through. Unfortunately, I have no use for this application. I still sext in the old school way: Using text messages.

See? Me so horny. [Safe Sexting]

<![CDATA[Husband and Wife Update Facebook and Twitter at the Altar]]> You know it's a brave new world when bride and groom update their Facebook status, and tweet about it. At the freaking altar. As they were being pronounced husband and wife. And with "brave" I really mean "f*cking dumb."

That's what Dana Hanna—the guy in the video aka "theSoftwareJedi" aka "Ican'tbelieveit'sbutterandI'mgettingmarried"—did, without his bride knowing anything about it. The worse thing: The wife asked for her cellphone to update hers. Maybe she tweeted "Sigh. This is not going to last long."

It's like the world has transformed into a huge sitcom. One produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by McG, and written by two thousand monkeys. Oh well, my best wishes go for the couple. I hope you guys don't divorce too soon. [Techcrunch]

<![CDATA[A Very Personal Message to the Buyer of the iPhone 3GS Supreme]]> Dear anonymous buyer of the $3,164,000 iPhone 3GS Supreme, the most expensive and tacky cellphone in the world: You are a tasteless assclown. Sincerely, Me.

P.S. I don't care that you are a rich Australian business man in the gold mining industry. I don't care that you are so rich that paying $3,164,000 for this ridiculous piece of gold and diamond tackiness probably doesn't even register in your bank account. And I don't care that this garish brick is made with 271 grams of 22k gold, 136 flawless color F diamonds for the bezel, 53 diamonds for the logo, and one 7.1 carat diamond as the navigation button. This ostentatious piece of shiny crap that should have never happened. I'm not even taking into consideration that we are in the middle of a worldwide economic crisis, with millions suffering around the world. It's just that it sucks golden donkey balls, no matter how you look at it.

And you are still a tasteless assclown. [Stuart Hughes via Like Cool]

<![CDATA[Strapya Theatre Presents: Dude Trying to Score with MP3 Card*]]> *DISCLAIMER: That's Strapya's official promotional YouTube video title. I wanted to tell you all about Strapya's ultra-thin Music Card player, but I'm having an extremely hard time concentrating after watching this spot. Advertising genius or marketing suicide? You decide.

I don't know if they are going to sell a lot of these 0.2-inch thin, 0.7-ounce 2GB MP3 players—which come with a built-in speaker and headphones—but after watching the video, my faith in Humanity has dropped from negative to imaginary numbers. [Strapya via Crunchgear]

<![CDATA[On the Auction Block: 5,000 Leftover Condoms From The Olympics]]> Hot date this weekend? Impress with your sports memorabilia collection by snatching up these 5,000 condoms leftover from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. With inscriptions like faster, higher, and stronger, they're a bargain at a starting bid of $730.

The tale behind the auction is that somehow, out of the 100,000 condoms distributed during the Olympics, one guy managed to get 5,000. I guess at some point it sunk in that if he hasn't used a single one by now, he never will. But hey, his loss could be your pile of probably expired condoms. Let's call it the non-gadget deal of the day. [Sports Rubbish]

<![CDATA[Woman To Live Stream Her Child Birth]]> People have posted videos of deliveries before, but this Lynsee girl has decided on a live video stream when she gives birth to her first child. I'm OK with over-sharing now and then, but this could be too much.

So far Lynsee has blogged every detail of her pregnancy for mommy blog, Moms Like Me, but now she's taken them up on an offer to live stream the labor and childbirth for all of the Internet to see. There are promises that it'll be "tasteful" and that only already registered users of the blog will be able to make comments on the live stream, but I'm a bit weary of the entire event.

Don't misunderstand, I'm not prudish about seeing some girl parts, nor am I squeamish about watching a live birth, but I do wonder how the Internet community will react. [Boston via Switched]

<![CDATA[I Want a Slice of this Amazingly Freaky Dead Tauntaun Wedding Cake]]> I've seen plenty of nerdy geeky freaky cakes in my life, mostly Star Wars-related: R2-D2, the Death Star, the Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader, and pregnant Darth Vader. This dead tauntaun wedding cake, however, is just sick. And I love it.

Look at that detail! This is so gross, yet so damn cool. If I ever get married again, I would only do it to get a frikkin' freakierer cake than this. Like, instead of a tauntaun, it would be a giant hairless albino monkey with Ringo Starr's face, and... and his guts would be snakes with the faces of Yoko Ono and Margaret Thatcher and Sarah Palin and Madonna, and instead of Luke it would be David Bowie wearing Princess Leia's metal bikini.

There. I grossed myself out. [Star Wars Blog]

<![CDATA[Craigslist Ad By A Horrid Excuse for a Human Being]]> If you begin anything with "this might seem strange and offensive," then stop. Seriously, just stop. Don't be like this guy who posted on Craigslist searching for a double amputee to be part of his Chewbacca-carrying-C3PO-around Star Wars costume.

Click on the image for a closer look at the ad.

I'm ashamed to even be in the same country as this guy. Geezus freakin' Christ. [Some Country For Old Men]

<![CDATA[Ten Really Dumb Old Inventions and Their Really Dumb Modern Counterparts]]> Hookay. So, you think that this M3 sub-machine gun—with a shoot-first-and-ask-later curved barrel—is a really stupid, really dumb invention, right? I don't blame you. But, trust me, you don't know what really stupid, really dumb inventions are. Yet.

I just saw a selection of 30 dumb inventions in Life, and I couldn't resist picking my favorite ten. These things are so damn stupid they became obsolete before even becoming real products. It was hard to choose. After all, how could I leave out scientology nutcase L. Ron Hubbard and his Hubbard Electrometer, which in 1968 made him reach the conclusion that tomatoes "scream when sliced"?

See? Really hard.

Then I thought that these all looked weirdly familiar. I searched in Gizmodo, and instantly found their modern counterparts. Some of them make sense now, with current technology. Others, as you will see in the gallery, seem equally goofy. All of them, however, we can live without. Enjoy:

Clearly, humans are the only animals that trip twice over the same stone.

<![CDATA[Warning: This Image Will Give You Insomnia for a Month]]> Holy Batman. This is the scariest piece of pseudo-art ever. Please don't zoom if you want to sleep tonight. Or tomorrow. Or next week. Heck, you will be lucky if you can sleep before Halloween.

Some people paint a Star Wars version of the last supper using frames from the movie. Other really sick people do a clownish version, including every iconic clown from all the Jokers to Krusty to Ronald to It to Homey... this thing has them all except El Payaso—aka Conficker.

I warned you. [Dark Vomit via Superpunch via Gearfuse]

<![CDATA[Moronic Pervert to Officer: "Hypothetically, what would you do if you found child pornography?"]]> This is Chandler. And he is not only being accused of being a child molester. He is also stupid.

Agent Adams asked Chandler if he owned any other storage devices. Chandler hesitated before answering, and then asked, "Hypothetically, what would you do if you found child pornography?" Agent Adams told him he wasn't sure until he had all the facts. Chandler then asked, "Would you file new charges?" Agent Adams replied, "If it makes you feel better Sam, I've never filed new child porn charges."

Chandler said, "Okay, there's an external hard drive downstairs."

<![CDATA[Penis Chandelier—Yes, Penis. Chandelier]]> Leave it to our sex expert Debby Herbenick to find artifacts like this giant penis chandelier, apparently made by a Dutch company called Rock and Royal. Their pirate skull and crossbones chandelier is quite good too.

As much as I'm sure that some people will find penises quite decorative, I think I'll definitely pick the second one. [Rock and Royal via Mysexprofessor]

<![CDATA[Convincing Your Girlfriend to Put Out on Film Because of the LHC Doomsday Is a Bad Idea]]> Today we learn that you can get a frigid girl to not only put out, but to do it on film by playing the Large Hadron Collider card. (Baby! No one will see that video since the world is ending!)

A bunch of students at a Brisbane high school filmed a dirty porno in a high school bathroom the last time news of the Large Hadron Collider was hot. Yeah, that video was literally dirty. Remember high school bathrooms?

Basically the guy convinced his sweet, innocent, and oh-so-stupid girlfriend that it was her last chance to lose her virginity as his buddy played hidden camera man, producer, and distributor. The camera phone recorded, underage sex act made its way through the community and could potentially result in child pornography production charges, although news.com.au claims it unlikely due to the age of all the participants.

No word on whether the sweet talker managed to hang on to the girl by convincing her that a miracle spared the world until November. [news.com.au]

<![CDATA[Serial Rapist and Kidnapper Claims to Invent "Sound Control" Gadget]]> "He did a lot of LSD when he was young." Is that supposed to explain how Philip Garrido invented a gadget to "control sound" with his "mental powers" while impregnating a girl he kidnapped and kept as a sex slave?

Somewhere between kidnapping Jaycee Dugard, keeping her as a sex slave, forcing her to bear several of his children, and proclaiming that this process cured him of his pedophelia, Garrido blogged under the name of THEMANWHOSPOKEWITHHISMIND. The least sick and most coherent of his writings explains that he desperately wants to patent a new gadget:

This document is to affirm that I Phillip Garrido have clearly demonstrated the ability to control sound with my mind and have developed a device for others to witness this phenomena. by using a sound generator to provide the sound, and a headphone amplification system, (a device to focus your hearing so as to increase the sensitivity of what one is listening to) I have produced a set of voices by effectively controlling the sound to pronounce words through my own mental powers.

Sure, the gadget sounds like something straight out of a nice sci-fi read and something we'd love to play around with, but it's straight from the hallucinations of a man with issues that I can't stomach listing.

BoingBoing's Xeni Jardin ends her write up about Garrido with the words "May he rot in hell" and I don't think any of us will disagree with the sentiment. Hell, one of our own editors expressed his feelings a bit more visually. [BoingBoing]

<![CDATA[Webcam Suicide Hoax and Bad Acting Result in Arrest]]> So this guy turns on a web cam and lays still on his back. Either he's related to your ex-girlfriend or he decided to fake a suicide. No matter, NY authorities didn't care and charged him for aggravated harassment.

After his girlfriend dumped him, Joseph W. Shepherd of Lockport, NY decided to go onto some British forums and whine that he was going to kill himself. The power of the internet kicked in as some concerned readers contacted Interpol London, Interpol London contacted Interpol DC, Interpol DC contacted the New York State Police Intelligence Center (NYSIC) in Albany, and they in turn sent some local authorities to Shepherd's door:

Troopers interviewed Shepherd who was found in good health and obviously not deceased nor injured in any way. Further investigation revealed that the entire suicide on camera was a hoax.

Further investigation was required that the suicide was faked? The fact that Shepherd was alive wasn't enough of a tip-off?

In the end, he was charged with Second Degree Aggravated Harassment and Third Degree Falsely Reporting an Incident. No explanation on why he's the one getting charged for the false incident report.

No matter what, I'm happy that at least this bit of WTF news didn't come from Florida. [WKBW]
