A butterfly discusses the butterfly effect

Most flash movies fall short of what anyone might classify as art, but these two flash movies One! Two! Three are kinda close. And this flash game with no objective other than reaching nirvana through attaining greater height. And well this one isn't flash, but it deserves a mention anyway because it's Valentine's day.

Virtual absolution

Thanks to the internet you don't have to sit down one on one with your priest to confess. Hell, you don't have to be Catholic. NotProud.com allows anyone to post an anonymous confession for the world to read. And then classify your post under one of the eight deadly sins pride, envy, sloth, gluttony, greed, lust, anger, or misc. Since technically internet absolution isn't church sanctified you may want to hedge your bets by also buying your way into heaven.

Life is too short

NYOnTap is an ardent fan of reality TV. We feel there's something honest and forthright about its exploitiveness. You can't get any more real or more exploitive than Life is too Short, NBC's latest reality TV show featuring Verne Troyer (Mini-Me of Austin Power's fame). Troyer, a 34 year old stuntman/actor promises to deliver many guilty laughs. A New Years baby, raised Amish ("We had to bale the hay, ride the wagons, not use zippers, and wear suspenders. The one good thing was, I didn't have to wear one of those hats"), Troyer split from his girlfriend of three years 6'2" model Genevie Gallen last year. The anouncement of their engagement in July created a firestorm of media attention. Under intense public scrutiny Gallen and Troyer were driven apart. Gallen later compared their relationship to an interacial relationship in the 1950s. Verne, a recovering alcholic, was driven to drink and almost to his death. Talented, rich, famous and lovelorn we fully expect Verne to become a gaint in reality television.

Handmade mexican folk art

As a child did you ever make a diorama? The first one was fun, sure, but by the time you hit second grade and became a veteran of a dozen or so hastily assembled midnight shoebox projects you probably had enough of building your own diorama's. Well now that you're an adult thank god you don't have to. Now you can afford to buy dioramas made with cheap Mexican labor. And as an adult, naturally you'll be interested in adult theme dioramas like the Dead baby ObGyn diorama (on sale for $8.25!)  or the Coed Naughty Nudie Shower Scene. Savor the rewards of adulthood.
