MNFW: Judgement Edition
by Larry Jankens 1/4/2010 - 8:23 pm

It's been a while since I posted on Dagblog. I'm not going to apologize for my absence or explain why, I just wanted to point it out. Anyway, welcome to another exciting edition of My New Favorite Websites (MNFW): the judgement edition. Join me in relishing these two websites that help you look down upon other people - it's fun!
The People of Walmart
I don't know about your local Walmart, but mine is always busy. Every time I go to Walmart it's like Jesus there is signing autographs. It is packed full of people who want to live the good life by buying imported Chinese goods. So is it really any surprise that a website documenting the outlandish outfits has come up? Most people who go to Walmart are average people, but with the sheer volume of folks who go there, there's bound to a woman who forgot to cover up her back boobs.
Look at This Fucking Hipster
I'm not gonna lie, I dressed like a wierdo when I was a yout. I was into punk rock and hip hop so I wore a mohawk and baggy pants. Thank goodness there wasn't a website dedicated to posting pictures of punk-hiphoppers. My point is this: chances are, you dressed like a jackass at sometime in your life - unless you are a grown-ass-person who should know better (like the people of Walmart) I'll give you a pass. Even if you look like this guy:
The People of Walmart and Look at This Fucking Hipster feed their visitors hefty spoonfuls of judgment. Each site features pictures of people who were never taught how to dress themselves or are too dumb to know better. If you are in the mood to judge people for their amazingly bad taste in clothes these sites are for you.
I love these websites because I love to judge. It’s a basic human instinct, like eating or smelling your own farts. It feels so good to look at other people and assume your superiority to them based on their outward appearance. Feeling bad about yourself? Look at these pictures of people who dress like a blind person who has mean friends helping them pick out their clothes, you’ll feel much better.

Obama Campaign To Court Super PAC Cash They Loathe
TPM 2012 - Within body of text:
The decision was handed out after new FEC filings revealed conservative groups outraised their Democratic counterparts by a four to one ratio. In recent weeks one Republican donor alone, Sheldon Adelson, has given over $10 million to a Super PAC supporting Newt Gingrich. Mitt Romney’s Super PAC raised $30 million in 2011. By contrast, a Democratic Super PAC founded by former Obama aide Bill Burton, Priorities USA, raised only $19 million.
Politico also has interesting piece on this too.

Jim Bakker’s Christian amusement park is now a post-...
In 1986, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's Heritage USA was the third most-visited amusement park in the US, behind only Disney World and Disneyland. Now the park that once entertained millions of guests is falling to pieces, and looks more like the scene from a post-apocalyptic movie than a place for family fun.

Truth, lies and AfghanistanBy LT. COL. DANIEL L. DAVIS
I spent last year in Afghanistan, visiting and talking with U.S. troops and their Afghan partners. My duties with the Army’s Rapid Equipping Force took me into every significant area where our soldiers engage the enemy. Over the course of 12 months, I covered more than 9,000 miles and talked, traveled and patrolled with troops in Kandahar, Kunar, Ghazni, Khost, Paktika, Kunduz, Balkh, Nangarhar and other provinces.
What I saw bore no resemblance to rosy official statements by U.S. military leaders about conditions on the ground.

A Mortgage Tornado Warning, UnheededYEARS before the housing bust — before all those home loans turned sour and millions of Americans faced foreclosure — a wealthy businessman in Florida set out to blow the whistle on the mortgage game.His name is Nye Lavalle, and he first came to attention not in finance but in sports and advertising. He turned heads in marketing circles by correctly predicting that Nascar and figure skating would draw huge followings in the 1990s.But after losing a family home to foreclosure, under what he thought were fishy circumstances, Mr. Lavalle, founder of a consulting firm called the Sports Marketing Group, began a new life as a mortgage sleuth. In 2003, when home prices were flying high, he compiled a dossier of improprieties on one of the giants of the business, Fannie Mae.In hindsight, what he found looks like a blueprint of today’s foreclosure crisis. Even then, Mr. Lavalle discovered, some loan-servicing companies that worked for Fannie Mae routinely filed false foreclosure documents, not unlike the fraudulent paperwork that has since made “robo-signing” a household term. Even then, he found, the nation’s electronic mortgage registry was playing fast and loose with the law — something that courts have belatedly recognized, too.

I'm an atheist, and yet you've still managed to convince me that you're going to Hell, if for no other reason than for making me look at back boobs.
I'd consider hair-encrusted nipples a pretty strong second reason.
I'm just happy that Wolfrum blogged and pushed this pic below the fold.
FYI, the author of one of the early bad-taste-voyeurism sites, hotghettomess.com, has written a book based on her blog success. Apparently, tastesploitation pays.
I love your coinage of the word "yout," Larry. I take it to mean "youthful lout." Admirably self-deprecating.
The guys behind People of Walmart just launched another website. www.YouDriveWhat.com. Hilarious.
this has the second highest hits of the day?
Okay LarryJ. hahahahahahahahahahahahah
I realize that when mammary glands appear on your back....something is amiss. hahahaha
Patton Oswalt does this riff where he is in a grocery store and he is in a hurry.
So he runs to the butcher's 'block' as it were to procure some meats for a family breakfast and this huge huge man is first in line.
This huge man blocks his view of the array of meats and says something like:
I WILL TAKE ALL YOUR HAM
Patton is so disheveled over this sight, remember he cannot see what ham is available due to the obstruction of view by this monster, that he runs to some other part of the store to relieve himself. Patton just laughs and laughs and laughs.
As far as the hairy guy...I just am too repulsed to reply.
hahahahahahahahahahah
I have no idea what this comment means but then again, I have no idea what this blog is all about. hahahahahahah
GOOD FOR YOU!
