The EBay Haunted Painting

/
This is blog post number 999 on The World of Kitsch. I'd like to share one of my favourite Internet curiosities that you may have missed from a few years back.

This painting, Hands Resist Him, by Bill Stoneham was listed on eBay as a haunted item, with the figures appearing to move at night. Any of the Twitter folks I've been chatting to about Mister Pipes and BBC Ghostwatch lately, might want to give reading up about this a miss if you're only just sleeping soundly again.

2011 Kitsch- Jersey Shore Christmas Tree Ornaments

/
Tonight the MTV European Music Awards are being held in my home city of Belfast. Presiding over the glitz are J-Woww & Snooki, two stars of the reality show Jersey Shore.

I love Jersey Shore. Not even in a cool, ironic way, I truly love it. My husband notes it's one of the few television shows I even set my iPhone down to watch. I'm a big fan, but I still can't get my head round the situation (ha!) I'd have to be in to think, 'oh! I know what I'd like to theme my Christmas tree this year' and spend $30 on these three.

If you really want to, I saw them on eBay.
