The Scribbler

Stumbleupon does it again! I found this awesome little online doodad while surfing the net and picking my nose. It's pretty basic. You doodle an image and it redraws it for you Etch-A-Sketch style, and the results are typically fantastic. This would be great if you have a Wacom Tablet, and if ya don't (which I obviously don't) it's still fun to play with.

Here is my doodle






This was the Doodler's Response

If you have a lot of gaps in your drawing be careful, or you'll end up with a lot of stray lines. Remember this is Etch-A-Sketch style; there will be linage.

Doodle With Gaps

I've seen a lot of sites with applications that do this sort of thing, but each one is a bit different and offers different behaviors and ultimately different results. Click

Retro Mabacre

As is often the case, I got incredibly bored and my old man directed me to Digg for momentary entertainment and I saw these creepy ads from times past. I think at this point that material of this nature should be called 'retro macabre', considering that our grandparents were clearly hardcore.

You filthy whore.

First up we have this little coffee ad. Nothing sells coffee like tapping into the wife-beating demographic.

Victory Bonds

Who knew Nazis had such bony fingers.

Uh...

The worst part is, this made your granny want some pork chops.

The generation responsible for and that responded to this kind of advertising is currently being stored in various incompetent old people prisons (i.e. nursing homes). I see a serious bed-pan-throwing retaliation in our near future. These people don't fuck around. The complete list of 'Ten Creepiest Old Ads' can be found here.
