Real Homer scares me.
Pixeloo has created a real Homer Simpson by manipulating real photographs. The results are scary. Visit the site for a larger version and check out Real Mario as well.

Friends Meets SuperFriends
Probably the one of the best segments ever on the show Friends has been combined with one of my favorite cartoons ever.
LOST Billboard Leads to Viral Site
On a trip through Knoxville this weekend, Jill and I spotted the above billboard, but couldn’t make out the spray painted message as we went by. Of course, a quick Google returns many results and they are quite interesting.
There’s a whole viral site located at find815.com and if you don’t have time to decipher the entire game/site, then read Oceanic Conspiracies for a breakdown of the happenings on the site.
Oceanic Conspiracies lists all of the “in game” websites and has summaries of all the videos, voicemail and other content on the find815.com site.
According to an article in an Omaha newspaper, the billboards appear in cities that LOST fans think are connected to key characters on the show…
Fans of the show believe the billboards have been placed in the area where certain “Lost” characters are from. Kate Austen, who fled to Australia after killing her mom’s lover is played by Evangeline Lilly and in the show is said to be from Iowa. An American marshal captured Austen in Australia and was transporting her back to American before the plane crashed.
The site’s game is set to end on Jan. 31 when the first episode of Season 4 premieres. Here’s hoping that the viral content leads right into the premiere rather than falling flat like the viral game featuring “Rachel” did a few summers ago.
Strange Blue Cloud
In a scene right out of LOST, a strange blue cloud floated around an Ohio gas station for almost 30-minutes before quickly disappearing. Several people reported seeing the image and some believe it was an angel or a ghost.
What the online version of the story is unclear about is whether or not the image appears only in the security video or if the witnesses saw this “cloud” actually floating around the station in person. From reading the story, it sounds like the image only appeared on the camera…meaning it was just a piece of plastic or debris on the camera lens.
LOST Web Episodes Begin Monday 11/5
From Entertainment Weekly’s web-site…
The new season of Lost begins Monday! Kinda. ABC has (quietly) announced that it will begin posting its Lost “mobisodes” (originally intended to debut with Verizon Wireless customers) on Monday, Nov. 12, at abc.com. The series of two- to three-minute vignettes — collectively known as “Missing Pieces” — kicks off with “The Watch,” focusing on Matthew Fox’s character. The micro-stories aren’t deleted scenes — they’re newly-shot material that fits into the larger Lost saga; it’s up to the fans to figure out where they belong. A new Webisode will post each Monday.
That’s awesome news. With the WGA strike in effect, most shows have uncertain futures past December. Heroes is planning for a possible season (Volume II) finale on December 3 and LOST may not make it on the air in February as planned. With a shortened season of 16 episodes, producers Damon Lindelof and Carton Cuse want all 16 episodes to air together as planned, but have stated that it is ultimately ABC’s decision when and where LOST will air.
