“southern extremism at its best” or “mel gibson has moved to north carolina”

And here I thought that Looney Tunes characters were over the top car decorations. Phil snapped this mobile picture of this very religious and very bloody scene while visiting North Carolina. If I saw this as a child, I would have had to be dragged to church kicking and screaming, trying to avoid being the victim of a bloody massacre. Is this really necessary for someone to put on their car? I am sure countless people have lost their appetites in the Chick-fil-a drive thru being stuck behind this graphic atrocity. Oh, and it’s a Hummer.

sparkling melon dreams

Vicky’s latest Jell-O creation is a Vodka infused sparkling melon Jell-O mold with tangerine wedges, which basically turned out to have much of the same effects as Rohypnol. Use with discretion.

guzzling hot dogs

The annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest in Coney Island has become one of the most popular 4th of July events in New York in recent years, attracting thousands of hot dog enthusiasts from all over the world. Lucky for us, Mobile Pictures correspondent Dave S. was there, armed with a press pass and a mobile phone. Below he maps out the contest. 

The stage being prepared with some delicious Nathan’s hot dogs.

The true stars of the show: Nathan’s all beef hot dogs.

Two seconds left, Chestnut knows he won with 68.

This was Chestnut’s first relaxing moment after the smoke had cleared. The champion rests in a hot tent filled with the smell of cooking hot dogs. Probably not the breath of fresh air he was looking for. The price of fame does not come cheap.
