With great power comes great responsibility, and unfortunately, the work of those featured on Photoshop Disasters severely lacks some of the former, and most of the latter.
The site is a collection of professionally Photoshopped images that skipped a round or two of quality control, because the end result is often a monstrous concoction of inhuman impossibilities that will make you question your day job. (Get paid to erase butt cracks from the covers of magazines? Sure!)
Sadly, these types of images fed the world a definition of literally unachievable beauty, so keep this site in mind the next time you find yourself saying “I wish I could look like that”.

When Digg added an Images category to the site, they also added a new program to their Digg Labs called Pics.
As images are submitted or Dugg, they move from the left to the right of the screen in columns by category.
Though, as with all Digg Labs products, it’s of limited use in terms of speeding up the Digg process, it does give an interesting look into the always changing, evolving, and updating world of Digg, as well as Digg trends in real time, so it’s definitely worth a look.

Ever wonder what photos are filling the Internet’s tubes at any one moment?
To help answer that question, Yahoo! has put together a list of the Most Emailed Photos that have traveled through their system, and it’s filled with some classic pics.
If images can be viral, then these are the ones that spread like an epidemic.

After an endless stream of bitching and moaning from the Digg community, Digg has finally added an Images section to their site, along with a variety of other changes that include a new universal taxonomy, a new image crawler, and new sorting and duplicate image detection.
They’re all definitely useful changes, which makes me wonder why it took Digg so long to make them.

Here’s a fun web trick to try, and it works with any page as long as the page contains images (try a Google Images search results page). Just copy the following Java code into the address bar of your browser, and hit enter:
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName(”img”); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position=’absolute’; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+”px”; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+”px”}R++}setInterval(’A()’,5); void(0);
When you’re done, just hit reload and you’re back to normal. Plus, it’s a fun game to play on those with slightly less computer savvy-ness than you.

…It’s Things Thursday: Fuck This Book?
Fuck This Book is a collection of unaltered and untasteful images of “real public signs that have been mischievously altered by stickers bearing the most expressive of all four-letter words”.
What’s the message?
Thankfully, nothing: “This is not social commentary. There is no message. It’s not meant to offend, exploit, or embarrass anyone.”
Instead, it’s just meant to be a juvenile, profane, and timeless look at our lives in a world that has been persuasively transformed.
