Recently a proud father posted this picture of his multitasking son on Facebook, and when a family friend saw the meme potential in the image he decided to post it to Reddit with the caption "Look, tell Clyde he's a dumbass...and then fire him".

Redditors immediately went crazy captioning the image, creating the latest and greatest internet sensation in kid based memes. Here are some of the hilarious results:

The moral of the story- don't share images of your kids on Facebook if your friends are always on Reddit, or your kid might become "The Internet’s Favorite Uncompromising Mini-executive".

People are wary of cameras being pointed at them nowadays, and folks become extra paranoid when they’re up to no good and don’t want someone capturing photographic evidence of their misdeeds.

But the 1920s and 1930s were a simpler time, and photos were seen as a benign medium, considered flattering if people wanted to take your picture even if you were hanging around a speakeasy or dive bar.

The photographs taken by Jessie Tarbox Beals, the first published female photojournalist in America, give us a window into Greenwich Village's past, with the seedy standing alongside the historical, and 29 of her photos which have become part of Harvard's Schlesinger Library are now on Flickr for your viewing pleasure.

Frozen won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature at the 2014 Academy Awards, which came as no surprise, but in the category of Best Animated Short the victor, which seemed to blow people’s minds, was a quirky short called Mr. Hublot.

Mr. Hublot ran up against Get A Horse!, a new Mickey Mouse cartoon drawn in the old noodle limbed style of the original Steamboat Willie cartoons; Feral, which was lauded and applauded by the animation community as a whole leading up to the awards ceremony; Room on a Broom, which is an adaptation of the children's book with the same name; and Possessions by Shuhei Morita, which is his first Academy Award nomination and part of the Short Peace film omnibus.

If you enjoyed Mr. Hublot you can check out some concept art and an interview with the creators Laurent Witz and Alexandre Espigares here.

In 1924 the Soviet Union was in its infancy, and the glorious leaders in charge used communist ideology and propaganda to keep the people going along with their master plan.

One such tool for getting their message across under the guise of entertainment was the newly discovered medium of animation, which appealed to both kids and adults and which they felt had more artistic integrity than motion pictures. Animators went to work creating propaganda films, and the first such film was called Soviet Toys.

It was created in 1924 by the Soviet State Film Committee, under the direction of Dziga Vertov, and it’s full of the kind of heavy handed anti-capitalist propaganda you’d expect from the Soviet Union, except the message is animated so it’s fun to watch!

The Simpsons stars a cast of extremely talented voice over actors, including the amazing Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer who voice many of the signature characters, but if they somehow lost the entire cast yet decided the show must go on they could hire Brock Baker and they wouldn’t miss a beat.

Brock is an impressionist who does a Marge that sounds more like Patty and Selma, thinks the Critic is actually part of The Simpsons, and notices that his impression of Moe sounds like Gilbert Godfried while it's tumbling out of his mouth.

Okay, so maybe the Simpsons wouldn’t be able to survive with Brock alone to do the voices, but for a guy who sits around his house doing impressions and making YouTube videos all day he’s pretty good!

When you go by the bubbly handle Daisy Balloon you’d better be a total airhead, or one amazing balloon artist. Daisy is the latter- she’s a balloon twisting machine with an eye for fashion design and an overall style that’s bound to go pop.

Her balloon sculptures are colorful and amazing, like her giant rainbow bear made out of smaller bear balloon sculptures, but her squeaky fashion sense is what’s getting the attention of visual display designers, fashion designers and celebrities like Bjork, who wore one of Daisy’s balloon dresses during a live performance.  

The real question isn’t how Daisy (real name Rie Hosokai) makes a dress out of balloons, but rather how can people stand to be around someone wearing a balloon dress when it keeps sqeaking!

You may remember Jack Handey from his inspirational writings/musings/philosophy nuggets which were featured on Saturday Night Live way back in the day, and you may be relieved to hear that Jack hasn’t stopped creating new sets of words which are quite humorous when put together in the proper order.

Jack's writing speaks to the Handey in all of us, so when he wrote a piece for the New Yorker’s “Shouts & Murmurs” section back in 2007 entitled My Nature Documentary people took notice.

But Hollywood couldn’t decide on a proper budget for the film and decided to pass, so a group of CGI artists led by Noah A Rappaport took it upon themselves to adapt this moving animal reality show into a totally realistic animated style short. 

See monkey and giraffe get along like never before in My Nature Documentary by Jack Handey.

Nick Cave is a performance artist, dancer and sculptor who creates wearable artworks called Sound Suits which "change the wearer’s relationship to gravity, and alter one’s physical interactions with the world".

Nick's works are complex, edgy and just a bit off, and though they may seem like giant mascot costumes created by a guy who has taken one too many tabs of acid there’s actually an interesting, and political, message behind these chaotic looking full body sculptural suits.

Nick was inspired to create his first suit in 1992 after hearing about the Rodney King beating, so he started exploring ways an artist could be protected against violence while still expressing themselves freely with their art. The result is a suit of colorful armor for the performance artist that both protects the wearer and makes them feel like an otherworldly creature.

These amazing sound suits are currently on display at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston until May 4.

With all the drug related deaths leading up to the 2014 Academy Awards Ceremony artist Plastic Jesus decided to create a piece of public art meant to stimulate conversation, cause controversy and bring attention to a glamorized drug epidemic.

It’s entitled “Hollywood’s Best Kept Secret”, and it skips the subtext and personal interpretation by simply showing the Oscar statue shooting up.

The artist was inspired by Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death, as well as the death of his cousin and cousin’s wife, all due to heroin overdoses, and his publicly art piece was on display during the week leading up to the Oscars until someone tried to abscond with the statue claiming to be a city official.

Now that the Awards Ceremony is over, and this controversial sculpture will go from timely political street art statement to gallery showpiece, will the message lose any of its luster?

You may not be familiar with Suzi Quatro’s musical career, you may know her only as Fonzi’s gal pal Leather Tuscadero on Happy Days, but Suzi isn't just some sitcom star or wannabe biker chick- she’s the original riot grrrl.

Suzi started her musical career in Detroit in 1964 when she formed a band with sister Patti and two friends called The Pleasure Seekers, but by the time Suzi went solo in 1973 she was the leather clad, bass playing Motor City badass later acts like The Runaways would admire and emulate.

Suzi is the first female bass player to become a major rock star, and paved the way for female rockers to come like Heart and Joan Jett, and if you like Garage Rock you should definitely read more about the storied career of the amazing Suzi Quatro here.

If you’re dying to attend a massive outdoor freakfest like Burning Man, but you don’t live in the U.S., you hate the desert, or you simply can’t get tickets to that exclusive desert oasis then it’s time to get off the Burning bandwagon and discover eleven lesser known alternative festivals.

From Burning Man’s African cousin AfrikaBurn, which has been taking place every year in the Tankwa Karoo National Park in South Africa since 2007, to the surreal Electric Forest festival which takes place in the forests of Rothbury, Michigan each year, to the extremely eclectic Rainbow Serpent festival in Australia, there are plenty of alternatives to the once underground Burning Man festival if you’re willing to travel light and let your freak flag fly.

You may see cheap beer like Pabst Blue Ribbon, Natural Ice and Steel Reserve as Hipster fodder or a way to get drunk for less than ten bucks, but that doesn’t mean they’re not worthy of an honest review by a professional sommelier.

Let sommelier Whitney Adams tell you things about the cheapest cans of suds available to you, things you never thought mattered like the aroma, aftertaste and flavor notes contained in these pong tested, frag guy approved brews, and see if her opinions make you think differently about these mass produced beers. Personally, I'll stick to anything Stone Brewery makes, thank you very much!

If action figures existed in the mythical era depicted in George R. R. Martin’s popular fantasy series A Song of Ice & Fire they would have looked like these awesome wooden action figures created by Mick Minogue.

The Hound and Jamie Lannister action figures were created for a Song of Ice & Fire inspired art show at LTD Gallery in Seattle, Washington, which Mr. Martin himself will be attending, and each hand painted, highly detailed wooden figures features battle damage features, a blister card and an age approval of 4+ with the note "Suitable for Wildlings".

Simon Belmont first began his battle against Count Dracula and the forces of darkness when the game Castlevania was released for the Japanese console Family Computer Disc System in 1986, with a NES cartridge release to follow in 1987.

Since then it has gone on to become (arguably) the most remade video game ever, with a new volume Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2 coming out soon, but did you know that nobody is really sure who created the original Castlevania? Or how about the fact that parts of the original Castlevania castle show up in nearly every 2D version of the game?

You can find out more fun facts about Castlevania here.

How will humans survive if the surface of the planet becomes uninhabitable, and what will we do for fresh food? According to Growing Underground we’ll move the farms below the surface, and that’s just what they're doing in abandoned tunnels underneath London.

Richard Ballard and Steve Dring from Growing Underground have come up with a method of growing "energy efficient, water efficient, pesticide free, totally organic, totally adorable produce they plan to sell to London restaurants and retailers", and their future plan for underground farming could be the best way for grocers and restaurants to stay supplied with fresh produce with a minimal carbon footprint and no outsourcing.
