From Raw Story.com;



Complete with "Urban Camo pants, Shotgun, T-shirt and Retractable kick spike shoes" comes the "You don't know Dick" action figure. Since appearing in the New York Post, the toy has raised eyebrows across the blogosphere.

The figure, soon to be released by HeroBuilders.com through Vicale Corporation, seems to make light of the hunting accident in which the Vice President Dick Cheney shot 78-year-old Texas attorney Harry Whittington. The company has previously issued action figures depicting Howard Dean in a screaming rant, and George W. Bush as a super hero.

The figure sports a "You don't know Dick" t-shirt over an exaggerated muscular frame.

The toy is available at a cost of $29.95, which the site indicates "inculdes [sic] shipping."

I've mentioned before that the company that I work for sells funny T-Shirts, among thousands of other things. Some of the most popular shirts we sell are Anti-Bush/Cheney ones. Most of them I don't think are especially funny, but we got in new ones today that I thought were quite funny. In fact, I sold two of them straight out of the box before I was even able to put them out.


Here's what the shirt is based upon;








So if anyone wants to see what's on the new shirt click here Link And if you'd like to buy one, let me know and I'll tell you where to get one. :LOL:
Please don't click thelink of you're easily offended. ;)


The picture on our shirts is slightly different than the one in the picture, but I wasn't able to get a scan of it yet. Ours only has the title and has a slightly different picture of Cheney.

Came across this tongiht when I should have been in bed sleeping.

Here you can make the President deliver a speech of your making.

If you click load at the top right, you can hear him deliver speeches submitted by others. Some of them are pretty rude...but it's all in good fun, right? ;)

There's a really funny article in Esquire this month detailing 59 Things A Man Should Never Do After 30.

Some excerpts;

6. Hang art with tape.

10. Skip.

18. Jokingly flash gang signs while posing for wedding photos.

19. Give shout-outs.

25. Request extra sprinkles.

33. Publicly greet friends by shouting, "What's up, you whore?"

37. Call "shotgun" before getting in a car.

38. Dispute someone else's call of "shotgun".

43. Ride a pony.

51. The John Travolta point-to-the-ceiling-point-to-the-floor dance move; also that one from Pulp Fiction.

59. Say goodbye to anyone by tapping his chest and so much as whispering, "Peace Out".



Does anyone have any of their own no-no's?

There is someone at ThemeXP posting rips of WB skins. The only one I know for sure is one of adni's http://themexp.org/view_info.php?id=42167 There may be more that are rips, but I don't have time to go through everything right now. I've already emailed Nikos to let him know, but I wanted to let everyone know in case they want to check on their own stuff.

Are there any tutorials or documentation on how to make CursorXP sets?

In the past week there have only been 4 new WB skins uploaded. A bit strange since I think the average number up submissions has been up in general lately.

Is everyone busy with other stuff? Personal stuff, doing commercial skins, burnt out like me?

Just curious...

Check the most recent comment on ym last skin update. https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=1&SkinID=2391 Comments like that make it all worthwhile.

Ok, this is a first for me. It appears that the author of this skin https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=1&SkinID=2832 has ripped elements from my 500RS skin https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=1&SkinID=2634

Obviously to me the similarities are obvious, but to someone else it may not be so obvious.

I gave the author an opportunity to own up to his theft by commenting on the skin that some parts of it looked very obvious. He responded with the following email.

What part/parts of my RedLine skin are you concerned
about? I'll be happy to change whatever bothers you.
Everything in the skin seems pretty generic to me.

This email only made me more determined to prove that he had ripped my "generic" work, so I downloaded the skin and compared bitmaps of several elements (scrollarrows, proglist sep, tabs, tray arrow). Obviously if you compare them, you will see that they are identical, but recolored.

If he would have just admitted to the theft and apologized I would have given him the opportunity to remove the skin quietly.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but there appears to be a problem downloading Winstyles. Clicing on the download link for skins brings up a text page.
