Great Moments In History, Ruined By Social Media

A super-quick photoplasty entry for cracked.

Fantastic Four, Hollow Man, ... Invisible People Movies in General: What's Wrong With The Invisible Man (and Woman)?

Everyone has secretly or perhaps openly fantasized about having the powers of invisibility. Whether it's just to scare people like Bill Cosby did in Ghost Dad or to wear women's make-up like Chevy Chase got to in Memoirs of an Invisible Man. Maybe you're a big creeper like that Bacon fellow in Hollow Man, or even a more socially acceptable “voyeur” like everyone who's ever watched and rewatched and rewatched Jessica Alba losing her powers in The Fantastic Four -oh, right... you don't need powers for that.

Nobody seems to think about all of the bad things about being invisible, with exception to that lonely guy in the corner of the bar. But that isn't really a “power.” There are many things that one just doesn't consider while telling the genie that your third wish is to become invisible. And that bastard won't warn you again; he'd already granted an illiterate Texan a second term, and let a 13 year old girl become a star on YouTube. Watch what you wish for...

Say you're Canadian. Or Russian. Or from Siberia. Or any country where it gets really cold, seasonally or just ever. And you'd like to frolic around invisibly. Your powers are useless, unless you want to get frostbite or die a hypothermic death running around nude. Dressing for that weather means you'll look like everybody else: Completely covered head to toe. Even if you had a snow suit that was invisible, eventually people would know you were there because of odour's wonderful way of seeming more potent in cold weather. Either way, snow floating around in the shape of a bust with footprints appearing is a give away.

Regardless of climate, the invisible community is the most clumsy group on the face of the planet. In every film, they seem to knock over every table and chair they can possibly find. And the waiters are screwed if they're carrying champagne your way, you're compelled to knock that shit all over them. This is, however, the most accurate part about invisibility that gets overlooked by movie audiences. The problem with being an invisible peeping Tom is that it's impossible to see in such a state. With complete transparency, the iris of the human eye loses it's ability to focus and flip light. And the invisible retina would no longer receive the image, it would just let it pass right through. And if it was still able to pick something up out of that, what you would see would be an incredibly blurred jumble of light from every direction with no way for your helpless brain to decode it. You'll never be able to see Ms. Alba semi-nude again. It's just not worth it.

Just sayin'.

...and the winner for the entry with the worst title goes to...

So, after one of our members was mortally wounded after jumping from a burning tire factory with two survivors in hand, we've hit a bit of a bump in the road. Both people were saved and treated for minor smoke inhalation (again, we love you Holland) and their rescuer underwent a mogodoscopic ankle surgery, creating the TJ-1000, a cybernetic organism formerly known as me.

To compensate for these difficulties, we've taken on a new member. Mogodo would is pleased to announce the introduction of Gail MacKenzie to its ranks. She's already taking over.

Next time, get the Mogodo bento. It's very filling and inexpensive.

Concept

The New View.
My main idea for the blog on this site what could set it apart from the rest of the blogs out there is a voting system. This Voting system would have two different types of votes, the first would just be a button that is original to our site itself worth one point, and the second would be the Facebook “Like” button which is worth two points. This would be helping us spread the word of our Mogodo site by utilizing the vast socializing powers of Facebook. The voting system will have an impact what exactly it is that our website displays as it’s “Review” on the specified subject. What this “New View would demand technically from the producers of the website would be: A login system with a password (so users could be held responsible for what they post) When a user would sign up for our blogging services they must Accept to “rules” of our site in order for our site to be able to take their view and claim it as our view, Users would also be signing up giving the creators of the site the right to delete the profile of any person who continuously writes nonsensical reviews and has it voted to the top view, A blog system (so users could input their own thoughts of anything it is that they would like to review), The voting system implemented which would be created by the team inserting both types of buttons the “Like” & “Facebook Like”, Navigation drop down buttons at the top so that people could navigate easily to whichever type of reviews they would like to find (Games>PS3,360,Wii,Gameboys, PSP, Mobile, Gamecube, N64, PS2, XBOX, SNES, NES, Atari. Movies>Studio, Indie. TV>”Name of the production” Comics> Marvel, DC, Darkhorse. Technologies>iPod, iPhone, Androids, Windows 7 phone.)

Joomla, Drupal – blog programs(CMS) that may have the functionality that Mogodo is looking for in their blog systems.

How can we sleep while our brains are stormin'?**

So!

We've managed, in just a few minutes this morning, to disappoint and confound our instructor w/r/t our performance, or lack thereof, in the direction of getting this pig out of the wallow.

Secret Agent John has been working on idears for the pixie dust that will make Mogodo.net stand out from the crowd, bring the eyeballs back to the site frequently, and to enhance the value for everyone from the casual, I-just-found-you-via-a-google-search viewer to the committed community member. We stand behind him as he furiously forges these fulminant flights of fancy into fecund fabrications. We look forward to riding his coat-tails into a good grade and the sunset at the end of the .mov

Master-At-Arms Bud is interviewing Content Management Systems. WordPress was our first, perhaps obvious choice, but he secret machinations of Secret Agent John's (from now on, SAJ) Mind have lead us to look at potential functional requirements that may be beyond the ability of WP to support. We are looking at Drupal and Joomla! and having much fun just muttering "Joomla!" under our collective breaths.

Anglo-Saxon Hero Jayson has been sketching logo ideas with an eye toward animating them. SAJ also has logo ideas on the front burner, and I'm looking forward to the Clash of these two very different Titans when it comes to hashing out the final logo!

Morlock Kyle is not present. We assume he is baiting Eloi beauties and taking them back to his lair for whatever it is that Morlocks do for fun.

For now, alliteration takes a back seat to perspiration. Onward!

** that's a Midnight Oil reference for you young'uns...

Proposal

With no objections and a good brainstorm to flourish the vast crops of Mogodo, it seems we have a general entertainment site, full of original ideas, reviews, some comics and we might even sell t-shirts and buttons and whatever else the kids are wearing today. Actually, tomorrow. If they're wearing them today, who'd want to buy them?

Did you know that Canada is the largest exporter of Mogodo, second only to nobody? Except perhaps the Dutch. We love you Holland.
