Terry Gilliam
I like this quote.
From a Terry Gilliam interview.
But actually that’s one thing that I’m fighting for so much now. Because of Facebook and Twitter and all this crap, people don’t have time to be alone and confront themselves and who they really are. It’s the thing that really worries me the most about the modern world. People just seem to be extensions of a social order now. We have a house in Italy with no telephone or television. My son would be there, and he was used to playing his video games and blah, blah, blah, and he’d go there and get bored. My wife would say, “Well, we have to do something to keep him entertained,” and I’d say, “No, let him get bored and you’ll see what happens.” After about two days of boredom and saying “There’s fuck all to do here,” he started inventing things. He was creating a really interesting world, because he was involved in creating it. He wasn’t just having it created for him. I think so much of what we do is now done for us. It’s digested, it’s handed to you. I like video games but I also think they’re dangerous because of how much time and energy they consume. It’s not the same as reading a book.

Even Monkeys hate it!
From nytimes.com:
"Mirror Image? When scientists showed monkeys these computer-generated images of monkeys, they found a negative response similar to what humans experience when viewing realistic-looking robots and computer avatars. Monkeys, they found, also are unsettled by images that are realistic but synthetic, a response known as the "uncanny valley" effect. The uncanny valley hypothesis refers to a dip in a graph that charts a human's positive reaction in response to an image on one axis and a robot's human-likeness on another. People, it seems, like to study other human faces, and they can enjoy looking at faces that clearly are not human, like a doll or a cartoon figure. But images that appear close to human but clearly are not cause a feeling of revulsion."

New Trend Alert!
I found this photo funny and puzzling. Not because of how weird Dennis Rodman looks or even how he's painted his face with glitter, but how he decided to rest his sunglasses in the hole of his jeans. Wow.
