Yeah, this is in poor taste, but I still laughed my ass off.

An 18-year-old has secretly painted a 60ft drawing of a phallus on the roof of his parents’ £1million mansion in Berkshire. It was there for a year before his parents found out. They say he’ll have to scrub it off when he gets back from travelling (sic).

The Gorilla Tripod is probably one of the coolest tripods that I have ever seen or used. From first glance, it isn’t the largest tripod. It is however quite dynamic.
The Gorilla Tripod has three flexible legs. You can bend these legs in any way that you want. You can wrap them around things, bend them to fit odd angles, and you can even move them all together for tight storage spaces.
The Gorilla Tripod fits easily into a purse, backpack, or a large pocket. After traveling, you can extend the legs to fit just about any surface. Gorilla is surprisingly stable, so you don’t have to worry about your camera or other device falling and getting damaged.
You can attach your camera using a standard universal 1/4-20 screw. This is perfect if you are just looking for a normal tripod. Or, if you are a little more adventurous, it is perfect for taking wild and crazy photos at unusual angles.
You can attach the tripod to any surface – any pole, floor, incline, etc. I would imagine that it would be great for making skate videos and other fun activities. Imagine how much cooler the action of grinding a rail would look if the camera was positioned somewhere under the rail. You can truly achieve almost any camera angle and look like a pro with the Gorilla Tripod.
Other than functioning well, the Gorilla Tripod looks great. If you are using in public, especially in a creative way, you will probably have a few people asking you where you got it. It is sometimes difficult to manipulate into the perfect position, but it gets easier with practice. The legs can be hard to move at times. With a little patience, you can get it to do just about anything.

Are you looking for Ashton’s camera? The Nikon Coolpix L18 is a cool new camera that will fit any budget. It includes a powerful 8 Mega Pixels of photo resolution and a low price tag. It’s not the strongest camera, but it is definitely very compact and not very expensive.
As I mentioned, it takes photos at 8 Mega Pixels and displays them on a 3.0” LCD screen (a bit bigger than most cameras these days which have 2.4” LCDs). The images that it takes are colorful and vibrant, definitely high quality images. It’s perfect for the casual photo shooter who wants to save a little green but still take high resolution images.

It may not have many of the advanced features that some more expensive cameras may have, such as digital image optimization, but it is still packed with great features. It includes Anti-shake AE, a technology that automatically adjusts the ISO settings for the amount of light in the room. It actually doesn’t help that much with shaking, despite the name and description of the feature.
It also includes In-Camera Red-Eye Fix and enhanced Face-Priority (for a maximum of 12 faces). The camera removes red eye from images automatically! You never have to go through image editing again, this camera will solve all of your problems with red eyes.
The Nikon Coolpix L18 supports SD-HC cards, so if you are looking to buy this camera you should probably purchase a card along with it. SD cards are fairly standard, so you might already have a compatible card (from a previous camera or camcorder). You can always expand later.
The Coolpix also takes sharp videos and sound – perfect for capturing moments longer than a photograph. It isn’t a professional camera, and it doesn’t try to be. It’s a light camera when it comes to features and a light camera when it comes to price.
There are two great advantages to this camera over comparable point and shoot models. The first one being the larger than average LCD screen, measuring in at 3. Inches. Next, a high resolution of 8 Mega Pixels compared to the 6 or 7 mp’s you might find in similarly priced models elsewhere.
It’s perfect for those that want to capture moments of their life without emptying their wallet. It’s available in multiple colors – blue, red, black, silver, and more. This is the camera for anyone who likes to save moments of their life while also staying within their budget.
Coolpix L18 Highlights
New Anti-shake AE Anti-shake AE helps you take great pictures free of complicated operation by automatically increasing shutter speed and raising the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement.

AA-size batteries for carefree shooting anywhere Compatibility with AA-size batteries, which are widely available around the world, means carefree shooting virtually anywhere without worrying about recharging or running out of power.
Easy auto mode Easy auto mode makes photography even easier by taking control of settings, so you simply turn on the camera and shoot freely.
Coolpix Premium Features
Coolpix in-camera technologies give you the edge when it comes to taking beautiful pictures more easily and with greater enjoyment. Included are innovative functions that increase shooting opportunities in a broader range of situations, help to optimize images, and add a new dimension of fun to sharing those results.
VR image stabilization Nikon Coolpix cameras offer an array of VR technologies that produce blur-free images when shooting in unsteady conditions or at slower shutter speeds. Selected models are equipped with one of two types of Optical VR, Lens Shift VR, which delivers sharp and steady images effective for shooting and faster framing with the LCD, or Image Sensor Shift VR, which moves the image sensor to accurately compensate for camera shake. Other models offer Electronic VR which applies movement data to image processing to turn blurred images into beautifully clear results.
Better pictures in lower light Selected Coolpix models offer ISO capability beyond the range of conventional digital compacts. An exciting advantage that greatly increases photographic possibilities, high ISO capability delivers excellent exposure in challenging conditions, broadens the scope of possible subjects and allows scenes to be captured beautifully without compromising natural light.
Face-priority AF Available only with Nikon Coolpix cameras, the clever Face-priority AF function helps ensure satisfyingly crisp portraits no matter where the subject is in the shot. By automatically detecting people’s faces in the frame, the photographer is free to press the shutter for sharp portraits with focus exactly where it’s wanted.
D-Lighting Only Nikon delivers the advantage of D-Lighting, a unique technology with the ability to rescue underexposed images or shots taken with excessive backlight. Accessible in Playback mode, this innovative feature automatically creates a copy of the image, adding light and detail added where necessary, while leaving correctly-exposed areas untouched. As a result, images are significantly improved in a manner that is much more natural looking.
In-camera red-eye fix Coolpix cameras offer refined red-eye reduction capability that surpasses other digital compacts. First, a series of pre-flashes stimulate the subject’s pupils, causing them to constrict. The camera then analyzes the captured image for the remaining presence of red eyes, automatically correcting them in-camera before saving the image to memory.
