I haven't posted an issue of "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" in over 5 months. I have so many series on my blog that by the time I get to one I really want to talk about, a new story pops up, or a funny video takes it's place.
In keeping with current events I felt the best place for this post was in this series, because while the art itself does not consist of words, it does consist of a broader message. In contrast to my other posts, where the words made the art, in the portrait below, The National Post’s graphics team uses artillery shells to convey it's message.
With the death of Kim Jong-il there is uncertainty about how much support the third generation of the North Korea’s ruling dynasty has among the ruling elite, especially in the military, and worry that successor Kim Jong-un might need a military show of strength to help establish his credentials. The National Post’s graphics team explores the firepower available to the great successor.
As most of you know, Ryan and I have 4 chihuahuas. Duchess has ADD, Puffs is extremely overweight, Lady is scared shitless, and Nacho, well... being that he's the only boy, overly sensitive, and loves his little blanky, I'm gonna say gay.
But no one can do it quite like Stuart here. Watch as he dances the salsa, and better than any of us ever could. Hell, they should do a Dancing With The Stars for dogs. He'd get all tens!
Of course, with all the lovers, come the haters. So the owner of the dog had this to say on his YouTube site.
Ok, for all of you conspiracy theorists and such, I have to address a number of inanely negative comments and observations. 1) Stuart is on a leash, not a string. He uses this for balance and to keep from running out into the street. 2)HE LEARNED TO DO THIS ON HIS OWN. 3)He is never forced to do anything because he runs the show in his house. Just stop with the abuse comments. You are completely uninformed. If you want to see animal abuse, maybe you should search a video of the cockfights on the Island so you can tell the difference.
The fables continue in Hollywood, and with it, a beanstalk. They didn't want it titled, "Jack and The Beanstalk" so they went with "Jack The Giant Killer" instead, because that sounds so much better. Okay, okay, I know it's based off the book of the same name, and pretty much a remake of the 1962 movie. But as a kid we knew it as "Jack and The Beanstalk".
And as far as fable movies go, you may have heard there are 2 different versions of "Snow White" being released in 2012, as if there weren't already plenty of them to begin with. But to each their own.
Watch the trailer below, and tell me what you think? Is it worth the $9 or $11 ticket price? Would you go and see it? For starters it doesn't consist of damn vampires, and it stars cutie, Nicholas Hoult as Jack.
Synopsis:
"Jack the Giant Killer" tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittinglyopens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack, into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend--and gets the chance to become a legend himself.
There's nothing better than watching James Franco all tied up on a bed with nothing on, but a g-string bikini.
I mean, what more could you ask for in a guy with the perfect legs, the prefect abs, the perfect smile, the perfect everything? GIF clips from the 2000 movie, "Whatever It Takes."
Absolutely Love It! There is truly no better way to call it, but PURE EVIL!
I'm serioulsy LMFAO over here!!! I remember posting this on Facebook last Christmas and completely forgot about it.
OMG, it is absolutely hilarious!
This will definitely constitute as your Laugh of the Day. Check it out, and see how many of you remember it.
This is the 16th poster out of the 20 posters I have shared with you over the past several months.
Every week I have been asking, "What if the world were a village of 100 people?" And by using statistics based on the spread of the population in the world, Toby Ng Design created these posters as another way of looking at how our world is today.

So yeah, I'd say this sounds a little bit like the truth. LOL.
Just when you think it's all over. Grandpas come a shuffelin'. OMG, too funny, but watch as these grandpas get down to LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem".
I could've sworn Snoopy doing the Shuffle was the last draw, but I was wrong again!
You know I couldn't go a month without posting a Glove and Boots episode. It's The Glove and Boots Christmas Spectacular!
This time around, Mario and Fafa accidentally knock out Santy Claus, then they question if he's really Santa or not, so they tie him up in Christmas lights and interrogate him. LOL. Very '24' of them.
College Humor's cartoonist Caldwell Tanner came up with these these fabulous internet superheroes representing today's power of the internet. Each representing an Internet entity, including Facebook, Google, Google+, Amazon and more, all fighting for internet superiority.
I found them quite humorous and to the point.
I can't believe it's been 13 years since we last saw Ryan Phillippe bearing his half-naked body in the movie Studio 54 in 1998.
Wow, the years fly by, and he still looks just as hot as he did back then. Merry Christmas folks!
Brilliant artist, Xiaonan Sun pays tribute to “Shawshank Redemption” by drawing Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins at the same time, one with each hand. Absolutely Amazing!
You can check out Xiaonan's work at The Portrait Art, watch videos, and also order prints.
Another great series I started on Peter's Daily Blog in 2007 that I will slowly introduce to my BLADE 7184 readers every Monday. As the issues progressed I included a quote along with each picture, much the same way as my Kiss of the Week series on Thursdays.
Here is the second issue of Loving One Another.
This is simply adorable. Watch as the following doggies decorate a Christmas Tree together. Complete with presents under the tree!
So, by now everyone has seen the video of "Sh*t Girls Say". If you haven't, you missed a good one. The shameless video went viral last week, and it was absolutely hilarious. Well, within a matter of days, numerous parodies started popping up, from the "Sh*t Gay Guys Say" to the "Sh*t Black Girls Say". And well, everyone and their mother posted them on Facebook. So, before I could even blog about it, "aunt Josie" from Wallacazoo, Tennessee had already seen all 15 versions of it, what was the point? LOL.
In either case, here's the trilogy to make you laugh for the day...
