Russian Police Detainment Fail

EDD says...

What makes it worse, is that OMON (the guys in the grey camouflage outfits with the retarded black motorcycle helmets) are modern Russian Spetznaz, i.e. they're supposed to be the Russian equivalent of SWAT, in terms of qualification and bad-assness only below Armed Forces and Russian KGB "superspies" and the like.

Epic fail doesn't even begin to describe this.

Parents Indoctrinate Children Through Song

Mauru says...

*cringe* whatever campaign advisor/think-tank came up with that deserves a swift kick in the nuts.

snippets from the press release:

[...] "by ideas raised at a grassroots Obama fundraiser" [...] "Parents and older siblings designed and provided the T-Shirts and the banner" [...]

"As Sunday approached, a neighbor volunteered a home. Production wizards got wind of the project and offered their help in recording it. The likes of Jeff Zucker, Holly Schiffer, Peter Rosenfeld, Darin Moran, Jean Martin, Andy Blumenthal, and Nick Phoenix rearranged schedules to participate. Holly Schiffer was able to get three High Definition cameras (Panasonic HVX250's), and an AVID editing facility. When Jeff Zucker went to pick up the camera package, Ted Schilowitz happened to be there and offered a RED camera set up on a Steadi Cam."


... yeah right ;-) Gotta hand it to the republicans- they have got a head-start at camouflaging their campaign efforts - FOX news and the brainwash crowd would be fools not to pick up on that theme.

*edit*

Shot at Point Blank with a .308 and .44 Magnum

cheeba says...

The man in the Second Chance t-shirt is Richard Davis, the creator of the bullet-proof vest. He has shot himself point blank in the chest something like 200+ times. I'm from the small Michigan town (Central Lake) where he based his company, Second Chance Body Armor, which was sold several years ago. When we were in grade school during Halloween he would lead our costume parade through the town wearing a full Darth Vader outfit and riding on a horse. He used to drive a camouflage Mercedes. Eccentric, but cool guy.

Ray-Ban Super Chameleon

From wiki:

Change of color

Some chameleon species are able to change their skin colors. Different chameleon species are able to change different colors which can include pink, blue, red, orange, green, black, brown, light blue, yellow and turquoise.[7][8]

Some varieties of chameleon - such as the Smith's dwarf chameleon - use their color-changing ability to blend in with their surroundings, as an effective form of camouflage.[9]

Color change is also used as an expression of the physiological condition of the lizard, and as a social indicator to other chameleons. Some research suggests that social signaling was the primary driving force behind the evolution of color change, and that camouflage evolved as a secondary concern.[10][11]

Chameleons have specialized cells, collectively called chromatophores, that lie in layers under their transparent outer skin. The cells in the upper layer, called xanthophores and erythrophores, contain yellow and red pigments respectively. Below these is another layer of cells called iridophores or guanophores, and they contain the colorless crystalline substance guanine. These are particularly strong reflectors of the blue part of incident light. If the upper layer of itchromatophores appears mainly yellow, the reflected light becomes green (blue plus yellow). A layer of dark melanin contained in melanophores is situated even deeper under the reflective iridophores. The melanophores determine the 'lightness' of the reflected light. These specialized cells are full of pigment granules, which are located in their cytoplasm. Dispersion of the pigment granules in the cell grants the intensity of appropriate color. If the pigment is equally distributed in the cell, the whole cell has the intensive color, which depends on the type of chromatophore cell. If the pigment is located only in the center of the cell, cell appears to be transparent. All these pigment cells can rapidly relocate their pigments, thereby influencing the color of the chameleon.
