The studied affectlessness is adorable.
I like Katherine McPhee. She's the only one I've seen so far who really doesn't seem to be self-conscious about the situation.
...but...but...he's not wearing the same clothes!
George Takei is too forced. In the Hayden Panettiere he actually looks like he's 100% dead.
m, I think that's the funniest link winner
Speaking of MIA commenters, where's the Giant Mutant Cockroach been?
Are you playing word games, ogged?
No chance they're photoshopped.
Hulk Hogan is really huge.
Are you all saying that they aren't manipulated photos, and those people are actually present with that guy? I find that to be pretty incredible.
Looking at his site, he is a professional photographer working in New York. So, probably photoshopped, but not to add random celebrities in.
You people disgust me. If you followed the link that ogged gave to MAE's page, you'd even be able to see the video he's talking about.
Yes, the video made me more inclined to think they're photoshopped.
I feel like I'm in a thread on one of those video sites where seven people comment "FAKE!" before they even watch the thing. The guy is a minor internet celebrity, so he was invited to an awards show, where he took pictures with a bunch of people (he's a photographer by trade).
17: Is there a genre of threads like that? Wow.
Speaking of MIA commenters, where's the Giant Mutant Cockroach been?
A couple of weeks ago I saw a large cockroach crawling across my kitchen floor. Without thinking I quickly grabbed the nearest shoe and delivered a fatal whack to the wee beastie. Only afterwards did it occur to me that it might have been my co-blogger who I had just killed. I hope it wasn't him. Killing your co-bloggers is seriously bad for your karma.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to Bob?
Ok, the video MAE linked is really amazing. I hadn't seen that.
23: That article is vague. I'm sure if you broke it down to show how many young people nowadays are engaging exclusively in anal and oral sex to preserve their purity, you'd see the impact our valiant abstinence educators have had. Why, years ago those kids would have been having vaginal sex. I'm disappointed by the slowness of the progress, but progress is being made.
Totally and completely NOT fake. Noah Kalina's been taking these deadpan self-portraits for years. He posted on Fotolog under the name "everyday." The only thing new here are the celebrities, and the context is totally legit.
BTW, in the shot with the models, you can *almost* see him grin.
I'm really glad to see he's getting some well-deserved recognition. Here's a better link to the series http://www.flickr.com/photos/noahkalina/with/321035522/ and try digging around his photostream for more gold.
So could anyone pull off the every day for 6 years trick with sufficient determination, or does it only work because of his "studied affectlessness" and would look ridiculous with anyone else?
It's been done. He's not even showing off his nifty sweater collection. GEEEM SWEEEATAAAH!

The columns in my RSS reader are truncated in a way that this post looks like "Unfogged w/ Cheeeese".
Unfogged is a blog I 'discovered' (as in started reading) last week. A (mostly) Centrist blog (although that's very difficult to tell since, as you all know, centrists stand for exactly nothing... while, at the same time, for everything as well. In fact, it seems, they are insecure about, well, about just about everything, are afraid to form a real opinion, and as a result, choose the 'middle road'), and Unfogged is very, very funny.
I'd say check it out for yourself. When I visited it for the first time, I just had to come back the next day... and the next.. and the next.
29 -- isn't that the guy that FL was going on about last week?
TMV was the blog that Althouse wanted to crush, if that's what you mean.
Oh right. For some reason I had remembered it as being "The Modesto Voice" that she hated.
That's kind of cool. Must be a bit weird to win a contest, look to see where the votes came from, and land here.
"Oh."
Also, Ogged reference in Wikipedia.
Unfogged's contribution was likely spiritual: Atrios also linked to the contest with a brief exhortation, as did a few other bigger blogs.
I went and commented on that, denying that we were centrists.
I am in love with unfogged's one wikipedia appearance.
Labs was an early adopter, if not the initiator of the anti-Althouse campaign, though, wasn't he? I remember other bigger blogs coming on line after Labs began the vendetta.
More consummately perma Ogged reference in Wikipedia.
He was an early adopter. I thinkk maybe feministe was on it first, and Labs came on with ezra and lgm. He was, of course, the best exhorter.
the best exhorter.
Sounds kinky!
For a generally reasonably calm guy, he does hate well.
Who was that masked Wikipedia user?
