Photoschlock

Hey,

Maybe you've tried to manipulate pictures in Photoshop, and after a lot of work it didn't turn out all that great. Well now you can easily get that "photoshp'd" effect in a matter of seconds -- just select a scene, upload and adjust a photo, and you've got yourself a FACEinHOLE.

2 Boys 1 Cup
A very British answer to that now-famous internet movie, "2 Girls 1 Cup". The overacting is indeed amusing.

Star Turk
Neither entirely coherent nor definitely genuine, but who can resist sci-if made in the seventies for foreign-language TV with no special effects budget. The "transporter effect" is particularly fine.

St. Patrick's Day Game: Patty Whacker
Whack the Blarney mole.

The Animation 1,000
Surprisingly decent race-game footage, superimposing images of a horde of vehicles going 'round the track. Actually they look a bit liquid -- it's quite a restful effect.

Know Your Cuts of Meat
Also, the kind of story that you love the Wall Street Journal for: a look at the world of intercollegiate meat-judging competition.
