No, I'm not posting the picture here. You will just have to click the link and go there.

This is most definitely for all you "fans" of Bigfoot and her metrosexual husband.


I call photoshop. Everyone knows moochelle has the toned arms. The heads were swapped, and not a very good job at that.
I'm not always engulfed in scandals, but when I am, I make sure I blame others.

Looks more like steroid use to me.

I think you have it backwards Don. I think its more likely that "Michelle" takes estrogen and does the "Silence of the Lambs" tuckunder.

Too Much Olympics

I was born without the Sports gene. I can't just sit and watch and actually pay attention.  Take me to a game, and I am watching the crowd.
Consequently, I find this video hilarious.

This is the funniest thing I have read on the web for a while.

Read the following quote (I am going to block out the written description so as not to spoil the punchline) and then click on the link at the bottom to see how granny's restoration job turned out...

Quote
An elderly parishioner has stunned Spanish cultural officials with an alarming and unauthorised attempt to restore a prized Jesus Christ fresco.

Ecce Homo (Behold the Man) by Elias Garcia Martinez has held pride of place in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza for more than 100 years.

The woman took her brush to it after years of deterioration due to moisture.

Cultural officials said she had the best intentions and hoped it could be properly restored.

The woman, in her 80s, was reportedly upset at the way the fresco had deteriorated and took it on herself to "restore" the image.

BBC Europe correspondent Christian Fraser says the delicate brush strokes of Elias Garcia Martinez have been buried under a haphazard splattering of paint.

(Written description edited out)

The woman appears to have realised she was out of her depth and contacted Juan Maria Ojeda, the city councillor in charge of cultural affairs.

Art historians are expected to meet at the church soon to discuss how to proceed.

Mr Ojeda said: "I think she had good intentions. Next week she will meet with a repairer and explain what kind of materials she used.

"If we can't fix it, we will probably cover the wall with a photo of the painting."

The fresco is not thought to be very valuable, but has a high sentimental value for local people.

Our correspondent says that to make matters worse, the local centre that works to preserve artworks had just received a donation from the painter's granddaughter which they had planned to use to restore the original fresco.

Here is the link to the article which starts with the before and after pic.

That's hilarious Trap. Sometimes repairs take a little patience and a lot of time...

There are very few things which cause me to actually laugh out loud.

Granny's restoration work is one of those things.

It looks like Mr. Bean had a go at it.

It looks like a surrealist interpretation of Michelle O'Bongo arriving on earth for the first time...before they could get the makeup and special effects to work better.

This is the sort of thing that you might expect to happen in the USA but no, it was in Spain so there is a bonus "make fun of the European" thing that can go with it.

ROTFL!

I think a good chunk of the humor is because you can tell by looking at the side-by-side that she was really trying to "fix" it.

I just realized that the picture is actually a video wherein granny gets interviewed and boy is she defensive about her work. She blames it on the priest and says that "everyone" knew she was doing it.
