The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

I honestly can't see it as anything else than gold and grey-blue.

Every time I look at the dress, it's white and gold.

If it's supposed to be blue, maybe I spend too much time under fluorescent lighting.

Living in Texas, that first picture on the left is just how I'm used to the outdoors looking from the vantage of indoors, through a window.

The far right one, ironically since it's supposed to be the original, looks photoshopped to me.

It is. The original is the middle one. The right one is balanced for blue/black.

Still looks white/gold under fluorescent lighting, to me.

Find the sick bastard who took the picture in the first place and make them take photography classes... in between floggings.

This is allegedly the dress that was pictured:

I'm not sure I buy it. There seems to be a discrepancy in the sleeves area, and the length/width of the dress looks different.

Looks like the dress sans jacket.

I say Powder Blue and Baby Shit Brown.

I think a lot of people try to filter out the bad lighting in their head and assume that it is white, and ignore what their eyes are seeing.

I said "Here I have a ball. Perhaps you'd like to bounce it."

All I see is shitty photography.

Yeah, that's true, but that's the problem. The crappy photography managed to hit this weird dividing point in the checkerboard illusion. It's pretty amazing. Far more interesting than most twitter trends.

Looks like the dress sans jacket.

And also for a woman of much... lesser magnitude.

You meant like these two?

[Gruebeard]

I see dead people.

 

[Bubble181]

I see dead people.

's what you get for staying at a morgue instead of a hotel.

 

[Gruebeard]

But it's so much more peaceful.

 

[Bubble181]

I dunno, all morgues I've ever worked had people coming and going in the middle of the night occasionally. In a hotel room I'm usually not disturbed at 3 am by someone wheeling in a dead baby*.



*I used to be the guy who'd wheel in the dead baby. Never claimed I've only had fun jobs.

Usually not?

 

[Bubble181]

Well, hasn't happened yet. I've learned you can never really rule something out when you're vacationing all over the world. Some cultures have weird habits, you know

I've been reading a lot of short film advice lately, and one thing that is repeated over and over is don't do drama because it's overdone. This is surprising to me. I think of all the short films I've seen on YouTube and Vimeo, and it seems like drama is the LEAST represented category. Maybe it's different in the offline short world.

Easier and quicker to get a laugh than it is to make a viewer care about a character, I guess.

HFA2 is hosted on blogger. Guess it's a good thing I've been editing out anything explicit all along.

Looks like you're off the hook.

Wish they'd changed their mind about google reader back when there was similar outcry. I guess the love of a good RSS concatenator is nothing compared to humanity's thirst for porn.
