The OMG-WTF Spectrum

Posted by John Farrier in Blog & Internet on August 3, 2009 at 4:51 pm

This spectrum (I take it) is supposed to classify Internet memes by whether they provoke OMG or WTF reactions by netizens — and all gradations in between. Bacon vodka, for example would be OMG, whereas human-eating robots would be WTF.

The World's Weirdest Vending Machines

Posted by Queuebot in Odd News on May 29, 2009 at 9:17 pm

People buy the craziest things, especially when they come from a machine. Pictured is the Dog-o-matic, which will wash your dog while you wait.

Vending machines have been around since the first century AD. By today’s accounts, even the first vending machine, which dispensed holy water to temple visitors, was weird.

Toby the Dog and Sheila the Duck: A Really Strange Relationship

Posted by Alex in Animal, Video Clips on November 23, 2008 at 1:35 pm

This YouTube video is about Toby the dog and Sheila the duck who adopted him at the Mac Kenzie farm. The video, first spotted at Cute Overload, has gone viral because of the sheer WTF-ishness of it (is that a word? No? It should be!).

The video is subtitled in Spanish, but you really don’t need to speak a whit of Spanish to understand what happened. And be prepared to be amazed: Hit play or go to Link [YouTube]

Update 11/24/08 – It’s a viral ad by an Argentinian ISP called Arnet – Thanks Demian!
