Week In Famo #4

Sarah Palin Disney Trailer… predictably populuar.

- 11 of to 15 most Dugg articles about politics.

- Digg front page weekly tallies by candidate:
Palin = 25,272 Diggs
McCain = 23,671 Diggs
Obama = 5,418 Diggs

Star Wars gags will always be gold:

- And in Youtube news…… it was really boring this week.

Has anybody been making cat videos yet? If there are no hands up right now then you aren’t trying.

Cat Back Flip Gone wrong – Watch more free videos
(Great title)

And in art news:

Gif Dump from Mark Brown on Vimeo
More work by Mark Brown

Vertical Sleeping….. Jamie O’Shea is a beast.

Paris Hilton collage made of porn images by Jonathan Yeo

Hot Tub in a Dumpster

Ok, back to non-arty Internet Famo…..

Chinese schoolgirl flips off old begging woman. (Ripe for re-mix action).

And from Buzzfeed:

McCain’s Left Eye…. WTF?!

Everybody is talking about the The Greatest Catch Of All Time

Could be fun re-mix material in a “What really happened” kind of way.

Mustachioed 50 Cent

And lastly (and perhaps my favorite of the week), Darth Vader being a smartass…. great idea, well executed, good title, and Darth Vader.

(For more moments in Vader history in Internet Fame see Vader On Wheel Of Fortune….. classic).
