Ridiculous eBay Sellers

I generally like online sellers, and I think eBay is a great marketplace. I've found so many great things that I probably couldn't find anywhere else for the level of ease. But, I do have a grievance...

Web-Culture in the Wide World

This is funny. I don't like most modern art pieces, but this just tickles me silly.

I'm a film/television/visual arts student. One of the most important steps to good production as a cameraman/photographer is to make sure you have proper white balance to record accurate colors.
