Check This Out: Obama Weather

Obama-Weather.com

Most Americans look to Barack Obama for change. So now, you can look to him when you’re changing your clothes. This cheeky website, Obama-Weather.com, shows you how to dress for the day according to illustrations of the Prez. Foggy and a bit chilly? He’s prepared in a parka and jeans. For wet days, a raincoat and an umbrella, depending on if there are light or heavy showers. When the weather’s nice, Mr. President gets decked out in a bright t-shirt and leather jacket.

OK ... so where’s the Michelle version, please? [Obama-Weather.com]

Noooo! We’ll Soon Have To Pay For Hulu

Hulu Going Subscription

Sit down. I’ve got some bad news to tell you. Hulu’s deputy chairman, Chase Carey, revealed at a conference this week that the watch-all-the-TV-you-want-for-free site won’t be gratis for much longer. As soon as next year, they’re looking into making Hulu a subscription service. “I think a free model is a very difficult way to capture the value of our content,” said Carey. “I think what we need to do is deliver that content to consumers in a way where they will appreciate the value.” I appreciate the value, Chase! Does that change anything? [EW]

Marvelous Man Boobs: A Safe-For-Work Boob Site

Man Boobs Website

It may be one of the world’s first safe-for-work boob sites, but that doesn’t mean your colleagues won’t quickly avert their eyes if they inadvertently catch you checking it out. Not for the faint of heart, MarvelousManBoobs is a new site devoted entirely to, well, man chests. Not all the guys who make the site have “boobs,” though — our fair prez, for example, gets a post for his hot, shirtless beach physique. Simon Cowell’s newly toned chest gets a nod as well. But most of the guys featured on the site are sporting tittays that might make some of us ladies jealous! [via BuzzFeed]

Hot Chicks With Dogs With ... Boners?

Hot Chicks With Dogs With Boners

First, there was Hot Chicks Picking Up Dog Poop. Then, there was Hot Guys Showing Butt Crack. Now, hot on the heels of one of the most important websites of our time, there’s ... Hot Chicks with Dogs with Boners? I—I—I don’t know what to say. I commend their ingenuity? I scratch my head and wonder who wants to look at attractive women posing with over-excited male dogs? To each his own, one imagines. Well played, canines, well played. Now, where can I find Hot Guys with Cats with Their Tongues Sticking Out, dammit?

“Bad-Ass Of The Week” Website Picks Actual Bad-Asses

I was slightly confused when my boyfriend started going on about the bad-ass of the week. I nodded dumbly figuring he was just speaking in boy-talk. But oh no, the continued references to the bad-ass continued so I finally decided to translate his statements into normal human speech. It turns out that he was actually making sense and that I just couldn’t fully comprehend the true awesomeness of the Bad Ass Of The Week website.

This Is Why I Love This Is Why You’re Fat

McGangBang

Let’s face it. Most websites suck. Doncha think? Generally, I especially loathe those wear-their-gimmick-on-their-sleeve sites, the ones that were created just so someone could get a book deal. But I love me some This Is Why You’re Fat. It’s hardcore, wet and sloppy, extreme, take-no-prisoners, get down and dirty food porn. And I, for one, cannot get enough of it. If you’re looking to drool over photographs of the most over the top food assemblages ever created, this is the omnivore pornography for which you have spent your whole life waiting. Co-created by Frisky contributors Richard Blakeley (of Gawker) and his girlfriend, Urlesque‘s Jessica Amason, this is the next food movement—21st century shameless gluttony!—waiting to happen. After the jump, a few of my obscene favorites.

I Love You, But…

Dork Guy

I still remember the day I realized my first love wasn’t perfect. We’d been together for about 2- 1/2 months and decided to go camping for the weekend. I wasn’t much of an outdoorsy person and ended up wearing, like, Keds on our long hike up to the campsite (which really wasn’t a campsite, but more of a clearing in the woods with enough room to pitch a tent). Rather than slow his pace and enjoy the beautiful day with me, my boyfriend laughed at my footwear and sped off, keeping a good ½ mile ahead of me all afternoon. It was then that I realized I loved him, but he hiked too damn fast (and was really kind of a jerk).

Loveyoubut.com celebrates exactly this kind of realization in a relationship. Created by Alex Holder and Ross Neil, the site is a “picture book about the moment in a relationship when you realize you don’t love someone completely, because there is just one little thing that keeps bothering you.” While I’d argue it’s often that one little thing that makes you realize just how unconditionally you do love someone—seriously, if you can love your man despite his hairy back or the loud slurpy sound he makes when he drinks beer, that’s when you know it’s real—the site is totally worth checking out. Filled with funky, hand-drawn portraits and great quips like, “I love you, but you still read articles about Princess Diana,” and “I love you, but you say ‘pacific’ instead of ‘specific’,” loveyoubut.com reminds us that no one is perfect, and sometimes what we don’t like about someone says a lot more about us than it does about the other person.

What’s your “I love you, but” quote? [via Nothing But Bonfires]

Web-Cam: We Heart Polaroids

My Polaroid Blog

And so does Jen, from Highland Park, CA. She’s the photographer behind the amazing My Polaroid Blog, a site filled with ethereal, clean, and artsy Polaroid photos. Sigh. What’s she going to do now that the film is being discontinued?

    ProChoice.com Is Not What You Think It Is

    coat hanger

    You know, no matter where you stand on the abortion debate, toying with women’s lives through false advertising is pretty effed up. We’ve read a lot about “pregnancy crisis centers”, which seem like abortion clinics, but really only offer “counseling” that scares and guilt trips pregnant women into not getting abortions. Likewise, it’s really frickin’ irritating to hear that ProChoice.com is actually an anti-choice website serving up all sorts of anti-abortion information. And it’s poorly designed, to boot!

    The Hairwash Photo Project

    baby in bathtub

    Making use of shampoo can really change you. Not only does it make you look so fresh and so clean, but it also makes you feel better (especially if you went to the beach and didn’t wash your hair all weekend). This site, which I cannot read because it’s in Russian, shows pics of people “before shower” and “after shower.” Most people just look wet, but others went through some big changes. Soap and a razor can change everything. [Hairwash Project via Notcot.org]

    I’m Too Sexy For Insurance

    What’s sexier than a security blanket? Pretty much everything.  But that hasn’t stopped the insurance industry from trying to loosen its image.  Sexy Insurance, a new networking site catering to insurance industry professionals, is giving MySpace a run for its edgy market share. Instead of Tom, they’ve got Sean, a self-proclaimed “refugee” of the biz, who runs the site out of his basement.  His icon is an image of billionaire Warren Buffet with a speech bubble that says “I’m so sexy it hurts!” There are profiles, a following obsessed with The Office, a lounge for playing Donkey Kong, and a hilarious lo-fi video featuring 50 Cent “Fitty & Warren”. Although the new page is cool, the constant stream of new-age world music supposed to sex up the site really just makes us never want to date an agent—even if they’ll give us a discount on medical care.

    Who Doesn’t Love A Good Kiss?

    Me kissing myself.

    I just stumbled upon the most adorable site called BestKisses.com which is just filled with pictures of people, animals, things, whatever, kissing. You can submit your own photo too and they may just put it up alongside photos of camels kissing, and babies and dads kissing, and couples kissing. Do you think they will accept this photo of me kissing myself? [BestKisses.com]
