Random Image File Monday
Irradiated by LabRat
…Blegh. I’ve spent most of my time the last few days adjusting to Windows 7- which is nice enough so far, but I’m one of those people that doesn’t so much use a computer or program as build an elaborate, bower bird like nest in it- and wilting from the heat, which is just cool enough to make turning on the central air and burning the energy seem unnecessary, and just hot enough to be uncomfortable.
I blame Obama for not providing me with something to rant about coherently, and also the fact that the chicken for dinner turned out to be off.
Anyway, I was browsing through our mutual image archives for something to use for a background image other than GIANT BLUE WINDOWS LOGO, and of course this instantly sucked about two hours of my day into the abyss. Here are a few of the results. Click for big.
We no longer have any idea who drew this for us/Stingray- and we are really sorry for that if this person happens to be reading- but it is evidently our first and only piece of fanart. For those of you who have not yet had the pleasure of meeting Stingray in various undisclosed locations, he looks exactly like this.
This is one of those images that makes me laugh each and every single goddamn time I see it, presumably until the heat death of the universe or such time as I am captured and consumed by skeletons. My mirth turned to horror when I paged the next few images in the folder over and came up with…
Oh fuck. A goddamn animated skeleton. Intellectually and morally I am aware I should feel pity and rage, however my inner seven year old thinks she might be in my closet tonight and is afraid of this possibility.

Yee-YIKE! Is that lady supposed to be attractive?

Only on a “pro-ana” “thinspiration” site, I think. She’s clearly very ill. Just also very scary.

Her breath will smell like ammonia and acetone, as her insides decay and her systems shut-down. She’s going be fashionably dead soon - but without the “pretty corpse” bit.
I prefer the straightforwardness of real dead skeletons to living fashion ghouls.

I’ve never seen the point of a “pro-ana” movement - nor why it is in some way different than, say, a “pro shooting holes in your own head with a .38″ movement, and therefore should be legitimized in some way.

It’s not actually a movement and it doesn’t, for the purposes of its “fans”, need a point beyond mutual reinforcement of self-delusion.
Beyond the internet mockability of it, it really is quite frightening and sad. Most people who kill themselves don’t provide a real-time record.
