ArticlesMy reaction to the recent Oatmeal versus FunnyJunk and/or Carreon debacle is to fervently hope that a decent photographer near Matthew Inman (the cartoonist who has promised to send a photograph of the proceeds of his charity drive to FunnyJunk, as a blow-off response to a legal threat) has written to him to volunteer to take a professional studio shot. If this image is going to be seen by hundreds of thousands of people, I want it to be suitably artistic and classy (for Inman’s personal definition of art and class). I want it to be well-lit, well-focused and well-composed. I don’t want it to be some grainy snapshot from a camera phone.
Sigh. It really worries me that this is what I care about. This is the one part of the outcome that I have an opinion on. I don’t think I am ready yet to be an upstanding citizen of the real world.
Oh and I wanted to share my thoughts on the recent celebrity divorce announcement…

Phew! It is such a relief to get that off my chest.

Don’t you care that your chances of having non-morally-dubious sex with a celebrity have gone up ever so slightly?

And here is the actual result. Meh. It is funny, but it could have been art.
