This is Why You Need To Hire a Real Photographer
Although this is an old video, I have not seen it before, and it is quite comical. This is exactly why you should view a wedding photographer’s portfolio before signing an agreement. Here’s a tip: If you ask your wedding photographer what speed their lens is and they reply “I don’t know”, they’re not a real photographer!

The Epic Battle of Photographers vs. Videographers
The following short film was created at After Dark, which is a photographic education opportunity located in Tucson, Arizona. I don’t know what else to say, other than this video took a lot of planning and resources (namely people) to pull off. It truly is “Epic”.
Transformers in 1D
If you are as tired of 3D movies as I am, then you will appreciate College Humor’s latest sketch. The following trailer gives a sneak peak at the upcoming Transformers movie, filmed in glorious 1D.
(As far as I am concerned, the only benefit of 3D televisions is that they brought down the price of regular HDTV’s.)
Conan O'brien Photobombs His Ex Co-workers
Conan O’brien decided to pay a visit with some of his old co-workers but in the most conspicuous way possible. As he says in the video, “I wanted to do it in a way that wouldn’t be awkward for anybody”. His solution: dress up in disguise and sneak into the frame during the filming of the today show.
Funny Video of Two Dogs Dining
Kristian Septimius is the brains behind this creative video featuring two dogs dining at a table. The characters are surprisingly believable and the dogs seem relatively co-operative. Make sure you watch the whole thing as I think the ending is particularly funny.

Onion Doctored Photograph and Tweet Cause Panic
The Onion, a website known for their satirical news, created quite the buzz recently when they posted a story about members of congress taking hostages at the Capitol building and demanding $12 trillion dollars (presumably to pay off the entire debt of the United States). While it’s not uncommon for people to confuse these stories as real, things got out of hand when they tweeted the following message:
BREAKING: Witnesses reporting screams and gunfire heard inside Capitol building.
Without any link to the article on their main site, many people thought the news was real. Word spread fast over twitter, and before you know it, people were calling the police to let them know about the hostage taking. Oops.
