You may have already seen this because you're much hipper than I am, but you're not more attractive. Captain Handsome bows to no one in the good looks department. Anyways, someone has developed a technology that allows hidden messages to be printed on shirts, and only show up through a digital camera. According to the company,

Kameraflage is possible because digital cameras see a broader spectrum of light than human eyes. By rendering content in these wavelengths we are able to create displays that are invisible to the naked eye, yet can be seen when imaged with a digital camera.

So basically you can now wear a t-shirt with dirty words on it that will only be visible when someone takes a digital picture of you. Which is pretty brilliant - or so I thought. Let's just say my grandparents were less than impressed with the Kameraflage "Eat a Dong" t-shirt I mistakenly wore in our annual Christmas card photo.

Jan 22 2007 The Food Network is brainwashing you

I was sitting around waiting for Battlestar Galactica this evening watching Iron Chef America. I had seen the commercials for tonight's episode, and it looked neat so I set it up to record. Towards the end, when they're going over the iron chef and the challenger's entries a McDonalds logo popped up for a single frame. It was pretty obvious at the time because the screen flashes red, I didn't recognize it instantly as the McDonalds logo when I watched it at full speed. I did notice SOMETHING though, and upon rewinding, sure enough... the Food Network is running subliminal advertisements.

So if you start barking at your TV for no reason it might be because the networks are brainwashing you. Or because you're insane. Check to see if you're microwaving your shampoo to make sure.
