OPP: That's other peoples' pictures, the focus of a truly bizarre site called, appropriately, LiveJournal Images. It shows you the latest dozen-or-so images uploaded to the popular blogging site, and links them back to the owners' journals. It's kind of like that movie Sliver, where they're looking through all the windows of that high-rise using a telescope, except you're doing it electronically. A recent sampling included hipsters posing in front of a marquee sign that read "Testicle Festival," a Soviet cosmonaut poster, a lesbian holding a teddy bear and a lovingly rendered Dungeons-and-Dragons-style pencil drawing of an anthropomorphic pantsless Cheetah warrior. Snoop, dog at http://adcott.net/ljimages/.

Chicken choker: Okay, okay, it's part of an ad campaign for a fast food giant, perennial number two Burger King, but it's pretty cool. Type in a command and someone in a huge, grotesque chicken suit, sitting in a sparsely furnished living room, will perform your wishes via crude, webcam-like video. Boss a bird around at www.subservientchicken.com.
