Have you seen the new Photoshop web site? Who is directing these people, Ed Wood? It’s so obvious that these people are small-time actors and not really web designers, radiologists, etc. You can tell that the way “Adobe Photoshop” stumbles out of their mouths, like they’ve never said those words before. Plus, why are they all hunched forward with their arms akimbo? And why is it that only one person talks for the teams of two? Why not split their lines and have them really look like a team? I’ll admit I haven’t “watched their stories”, so I’m only reacting to the intro videos. However, there’s nothing in the intros that would make me want to watch further.

Just one day after reporting that Lance Armstrong had been chosen as the new “Yellow Wiggle” in the Australian kiddie-supergroup, hiester.com has learned that the Armstrong deal fell through and The Wiggles traded Greg to the Teletubbies for Laa-Laa, the Yellow Teletubby.
Armstrong reportedly failed a blood-sugar test–not enough blood sugar. Blue Wiggle Anthony Field was apparently furious to learn that Armstrong was not a sugar fiend. “Look, if you want to entertain hyperactive kids, you’ve got to prepare yourself. You have to get jacked up on the same stuff they’re on. Do you think I would do that stupid pointing business if I didn’t down four cotton candies and half a case of pop rocks before the show?,” Field exclaimed. “Mr. Big Shot Seven-Time Tour de France champion thought he could come in here and treat us like domestiques. We get about 90 minutes to win over three-year-olds with ADHD with singing, dancing, acting, acrobatics and riding in our big red car. This guy is used to three weeks on a bicycle cheered on by a bunch of beaujolais-swilling, foie gras stuffed vacationers.”

A senior Wiggles management official who asked to remain anonymous said a press conference announcing the trade would be held later today. “It was a perfect fit. Greg can continue to perform since it’s normal for the Teletubbies to fall down–even faint. He’ll be able to pace himself. For Laa-Laa, this is a great opportunity to advance his career and maybe even learn a few words.”

I took my photo in August and uploaded it on September 5, 2006, then this very similar(even the tail points in the same direction/angle!) photo appears on the cover of TIME magazine on October 16th, 2006. I knew those editors were checking my photostream for ideas. I’ll be looking for a cut of whatever you guys are getting out of the YouTube/Google settlement.
