Earlier this year we featured the work of pet photographer and animal rights activist Seth Casteel and his incredible shots of dogs fetching balls and other toys underwater. Now, Casteel has authored Underwater Dogs, a hardcover book of these (and new) photos, along with a 2013 calendar. The book is available to purchase at Amazon and the 2013 calendar is available to purchase at Willow Creek Press. Casteel was recently featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, Take a look at that segment which gives insight on Casteel’s process and the inspiration behind his work.

In more than eighty portraits by award-winning pet photographer and animal rights activist Seth Casteel capture new sides of our old friends with vibrant underwater photography that makes it impossible to look away. Each image bubbles with exuberance and life, a striking reminder that even in the most loveable and domesticated dog, there are more primal forces at work. In Underwater Dogs, Seth Casteel gives playful and energetic testament to the rough-and-tumble joy that our dogs bring into our lives.

Here’s a look at some of the fun photos featured in Underwater Dogs:

Popping up in several Midwestern swing state cities, a prime example of harassment and intimidation of the public via advertising:

Billboards stating that “VOTER FRAUD IS A FELONY 3-1/2 YRs & $10,000 Fine” have been popping up in African American and Latino neighborhoods in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Cleveland, Ohio. These billboards are paid for by a “Private Family Foundation” whose actual identity has yet to be disclosed.

The eye pics in this animated GIF were taken by photographer Ellen Martorelli as part of her Eyes-Scapes series.

Luxury retailer Luisa Viaroma at one point sold these $424 Matt Nylon Hooded Down Jackets with integrated, goggled facemasks. In an apparent bid to soften the appearance of alien menace projected by the garment when fully zipped, the vendor added a silly poof-ball at the crown. This latter seems easily removed, and I speculate that it is similar to the little snap-off bit of wink-nudge metal that converts your semi-automatic to full-auto -- that is, a way to claim relative harmlessness at the point of sale. Because once you lose the bogglie-ball, brother, you're pure terror in this one.

Well, that fulfills my quota of "embarrassingly stupid talk" for the week. Later, everyone!

Mitt Romney’s second oldest son Josh Romney gets crowned as the latest meme villain.

Michelle Rafferty of Flavorwire has gathered the “funniest costumes in TV history” for the supercut video titled 50 TV Characters in Hilarious Halloween Costumes. The full list of shows, costumes and characters used in the video is available at Flavorwire.

Where most movie franchises are lucky to span one decade, the James Bond franchise is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year with its 23rd installment, Skyfall. The trick behind its longevity is no secret — since the ’60s, the producers have reinvented the iconic agent several times so that he always feels of the moment.

But through it all, a few key characteristics remain the same. Bond is always first and foremost a martini man, though he may dabble in beer or other cocktails from time to time, and his knack for ladykilling is almost as well regarded as his talent for killing-killing. So which of the six Bonds is the deadliest, booziest, and sexiest of them all? The infographic after the jump has the answer.

Ta-da! According to this chart by The Economist (via Vulture), it’s Pierce Brosnan who’s the Bondiest Bond by those measures. His average combined bodies, conquests, and martinis per movie is roughly 50% higher than the second-place contender, Daniel Craig.

However, a closer look at the data suggests some ways in which these fellows set themselves apart from one another. Brosnan’s dominance is mostly due to his trigger-happy tendencies; as a drinker and a lover, he’s somewhere in the middle of the pack. Meanwhile, Craig is by far the drunkest Bond, with an astonishing average of five martinis for his first two releases. (Skyfall has been excluded from the data, so this chart just draws on his actions from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.) But all that liquor evidently does him no favors with the opposite sex.

George Lazenby, it turns out, is the most popular with the Bond girls — he carved three notches into his bedpost in his one and only outing, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. And all the way at the end of the spectrum is poor Timothy Dalton, whose Bond averaged something like six dead bodies, two hookups, and two martinis per film. That might be a wild record for a normal person, but by Bond standards it’s apparently quite tame.

Ladies, please let me explain why my explanation will always sound better than yours.

Two legendary comedians offer their perspectives on life, through song.

The Big Electron is a remix tribute song to late comedians Bill Hicks and George Carlin, using footage from their stand up routines. It was created by melodysheep (aka John D. Boswell) of Symphony of Science. You can hear and download melodysheep’s entire collection of “inspirational and humorous remixes” at Remixes for the Soul.

“What happens when you sleep… makes a really boring movie.”

Screen Junkies, a group of guys who share their honest advice about what movies and television show to see and not to see, have created a new honest movie trailer for the 2007 supernatural horror film Paranormal Activity that puts their humorous opinion of the movie (and more) into a fake film trailer. We have previously written about the Screen Junkies and their collection of honest movie trailers.

It’s Halloween. Which means time for another Paranormal Activity sequel. In honor of spooky, moving furniture and actors who seem like they won a contest, we’re looking way back to the one that started it all. No. Not The Blair Witch Project. The other one.

Whatever. I still prefer these to Saw sequels.

The bar for fine art photographs of dogs in goofy costumes was set quite high in the 70s and 80s by photographer William Wegman and his Weimaraner companions Man Ray and Fay Ray, and while I suspect 20% of the entire industry of the internet is spent sharing adorable pet photos, it’s rare to see a single animal transcend the rest. Some worthy contenders recently have been Theron Humphrey and his dog Maddie, and also Seth Casteel’s underwater dogs. But a new pup has thrown down the gauntlet and her name is Trotter, a one-year-old French Bulldog lovingly captured by her owner, San Francisco photographer Sonya Yu who bills herself as a Professional Food Pornographer. You can follow Trotter’s dressy exploits on Yu’s Instagram feed but also check out her personal work which is outstanding. (via the fluffington post, which apparently, is a thing)
