Oh my goodness. This is so funny. I’m pretty sure this is a portfolio website, and this is up on it. Basically this guy took some of his buddy’s Facebook pictures and altered them slightly, most of the time making him just slightly uglier, or putting a lemur in his hand. I love this.
His responses are hilarious as well. You can see them better on the source page.

Epicenter (I know… reference them all the time… I love Wired!) recently posted and article about the new Facebook redesign.
By now, I feel as though most people I know have switched over. At the moment, the change is voluntary, going site-wide in early 2011.
My question to all of you (that’s right… the WHOLE INTERNET!) is what do you think? In the past, Facebook’s changes have been controversial. Many people simply don’t like change. Additionally, there have been so many privacy issues in the past that everyone gets their panties in a bunch every time a change is made. This time, thankfully, I have not heard of any privacy issues.
Personally, I kinda like the changes. I like that there are more faces visible on FB when I go to my page. I like the new design, although it took me a minute to find out how to update my status and comment on someone else’s wall. In the past I’ve been on the fence for some, and against other changes. This time, I’m not hating it.
Also- Google is starting a competing social network!? What? This is the first I’ve heard of that. I say good luck Google. You are awesome, and I love you, but I think FB has the market. Not even Myspace’s trendy new vibes could compete.
Mashable recently posted an article about a new plug-in that acts as a sobriety test before you post on Facebook. It’s actually called “The Social Media Sobriety Test” with the tagline, “Nothing good happens online after 1 a.m.”
The idea is that you can set certain hours between which this plug-in will put you through a series of tasks before allowing you to access and modify your Facebook. If you fail the test, it will post to your FB that you are too intoxicated to be on Facebook.
Okay, I’m sorry, but does anyone else see how absurd this is? This plug-in is obviously marketed to the idiot youth of the world. I myself enjoy the social lubricant that is alcohol from time to time, and yes, I’m sure that I’ve had my moments where I wished I had had a filter… but if you have the ability to set certain hours within which you think you will be too intoxicated to make good social media decisions, don’t you think you might have a problem? Try an AA meeting instead.
