"It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money."

That’s One Way to Quit

Young lady wants to be a broker. Boss won’t give her a break. Young lady overhears boss referring to her as HOPA. HOPA? Ah… HPAO! Decides to quit using dry erase board, camera and an email to the entire office. Awesome. Good luck, young lady, you deserve a new job for just your inventiveness, and I hope your old boss gets fired.

UPDATE: Too bad. It was all a hoax. Why couldn’t they just leave well enough alone? Imagine all the copycat quitters who might have finally quit, in much the same way…

The Mutant Problem

The year is 2015 and Peter Parker is presenting his op-ed photo essay for the New York Times called The Mutant Problem. In it he looks at mutants in their every day lives after Black Tuesday and discovers maybe the problem isn’t what we thought after all.

(This really is a great little piece of alternate reality with Peter Parker interviewing crossover mutants. Really well written.)

The Raven

Chris Black, AKA The Raven, is a threat to the regime and they will hunt him down. This quick, six minute video kicks some butt. At only $5,000 to shoot, this guy should get picked up for something bigger in the near future…

Werner Herzog Reads Children’s Stories

While not the real Werner Herzog, these interpretations of Curious George and Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel (incidentally one of my favorite stories!) are simply amazing.
