So this evening I was browsing the photos from College Humor’s Classic Senior Pictures Gallery and I came across a photo of a student with a striking resemblance to a character off of Seth McFarlane’s The Cleveland Show.  Tell me this kid does not look like a real life Cleveland Brown Junior??

It’s no secret that in my personal life I tend to gravitate to darker things.  I have been a huge fan and ocasional participant of the gothic subculture over the years and covered stories about the innovative ways twitter is being used by the Bats Day in the Fun Park event.  So tonight when I stumbled across a gothic gardening site I was intrigued by the various floral varieties that are available in black.  But what was more amusing was the subliminal messages being fed via online advertising on a clearly gothic themed page.

The page begins with the following:

“A Gothic Garden is dark and mysterious; overflowing with black flowers and shadowy vines, spooky plants, and powerful creatures lurking behind every stone pillar.”

But the ad that accompanied it was far less foreboding…

Needless to say The Walt Disney Company is either doing a terrible job at targetting their online ads, or they are trying to get the gothic community to liven up a bit.

The irony in this post is that it’s about two things I typically could care less about…Mixx.com and Ninja’s.  I’m not a huge fan of Mixx and rarely use it and I think ninja’s are overrated.  However, I thought it was worthy enough to share with the masses regardless.  Today, as some of you may know is Day of the Ninja.  It’s the ninja equivalent to Talk Like A Pirate Day.  I discovered this morning when mixxing a story about reasons to use twitter that Mixx.com has decided to show homage to the day by incorporating a ninja theme into their logo.  So if you head over to Mixx at all today you’ll be greeted by this little guy:
