Have a funny photo Christmas
There I was trucking around the internet on my keyboard, when I stumbled upon Freaking News 2008 in Pictures - Despite Yuletide overload, the funny photo Christmas contributions from ardent Photoshop artists with a sense of humor actually made me look twice. Rudolf the Red Nosed Spaceman. Santanaut...
This funny photo Christmas review is so refreshing compared to the usual tired end-of-year review shows. You know the sort on TV:
The Funniest Celebrity Goofs of 2008; (like most celebrities don't act stupid normally?)
The Top Xmas Crap songs in History (don't they have to be crap anyway, to qualify as Xmas song?)
Worst Political Lie of the Noughties, (please, that should be called What politicians have said since 2000)
Yaw-awn
Christmas in Space is not only entertaining, but it is philosophically pleasing too. The further you can remove all traces of Christmas away from earth, the happier I am.
Fortunately, the Freaking News team run contests for Photoshop-pers with a sense of humor all year long, year after year. Check them out - after you have checked out Funny Photos on the Pisstakers! There are hordes of fun Flickr folk doing their bit to entertain you.

Funny photos from Flickr zooming along
I don't know about you, but this Christmas I will be giving thanks to Flickr! In amongst the funny stuff at The Pisstakers lurks a Funny Photos section. It seems to be capturing the public imagination recently, and its success is all down to the Flickr folk.
The public need funny pictures, but apart from an occasional lucky photo on my cell phone, I am a complete numbskull with a camera. The truth be told, I can aim and point OK, but I am a clumsy clod, and have broken more zoom lenses and lcd view finders than I care to admit to.
(For instance, this wheelchair one isn't mine, and you can tell because, it doesn't have a crack through the middle of it!)
Anyway, for one reason or another, I am totally reliant on the talent of others for a stock of fun photos.
So how does a talentless webmaster source and arrange funny photo material? Personally, I have sorted through Flickr groups who specialise in interesting and humorous photos. I then set up a photo display widget on my site, and left the Flickr pros to publish their original snaps like mad things.
The upshot is, my visitors get some great material, I don't get any credit for the photographic work, I hope, and the Flickr folk get visitors galore via the thumbnail photos. Win-win. And you are most welcome to keep the cycle going with a quick visit yourself!
So there you have it, the funny photos page explained!
Have fun, and here's an endearing (or is it enduring) image of the average UK Christmas Eve reveler.

Pubs shut early; no buses to get to midnight mass on time...bless!!!! I am sure he can hail an ambulance to take him along to A&E with the other binge-drinking Brits in need of a bed and a coffee.
