What’s Wrong With This Picture?

Since the demise of Google Reader, I use Feedly as my RSS feed reader – yeah, I don’t do Twitter so this is how I get most of my news.

I had a busy weekend so didn’t check Feedly for a while but when I did, I found an example of something it does that makes me chuckle. Like most readers, it’ll show you the headlines from sites you’ve subscribed to and also throw out a picture from the page but sometimes, the picture and the headline don’t really match up . . .

Wow – the new Zoom looks really mean . . .

Justice League Hits Hard Times

Hey, you do what you gotta do to make ends meet in these tough economic time, am I right?

If Anyone’s Wondering What I Want For Christmas…

I love stationery – seriously, I’m happy to hold my hand up and say I’m a complete stationery nerd. Living in South Wales in the UK, my favourite shop is just 1½ hours drive away from me: Bartrums in Hay on Wye. Pens are my particular fetish and I’ve spent more money on a single pen from Bartrums than I have on any book, film or comic that I own (and even most of my clothing with the exception of a suit and one pair of boots).

While these fine items below aren’t anywhere near as tempting, they’d make a nice stocking filler for me if anyone’s feeling generous…

Justice League paperclips! Only $20 for 40 of them…

Superman Being A Dick

There’s a whole website showcasing times when Superman is less than the noble, upstanding, thoughtful, caring hero he’s perceived as being, but here’s an instance I found while rereading some old Justice League of America issues from the late 70s.

Yeah, Wonder Woman – you don’t have to worry about getting tired, you’ll be sat on your star-spangled behind.
