That Virgil photo makes me really sad.
I used to create and sell indie comics on the convention circuit and I saw a lot of people like this.
The wrestlers are especially rough sometimes, because if you aren't hot poo poo right now you're probably sitting alone, in a table you paid $2000 for, wondering if you're going to pay for physical therapy or your car this month.

Lisa G looks worn down from her own bullshit.

I really dont understand the Eric the Midget love, it's an annoying gag at this point with Eric using the same insults ad nauseum.

Eric's schtick is pretty awful without someone ripping into him mercilessly, and Howard never does it so it just becomes this sad annoying repetitive thing where Howard for some reason acts like he's legitimately invested in Eric's success and is pitching him ideas or trying to reason with him and just keeps hitting resistance. The kid is legit crazy by now and really thinks his poo poo is such good radio that Howard needs him and owes him and its because nobody ever puts him in his place anymore.

The beginning of the end for Eric was the introduction of Johnny Fratto. The end of the end for Eric was Artie's untimely exit.

That said, my favorite post-decline appearance was when they play the clip of Bobby Rude yelling at him.

I like when Gary yells at Eric, but yeah it's nothing like having Artie around to tell the guy outright that nobody gives a poo poo about him.

Edit: Speaking of Eric, somebody has uploaded every Eric call to Youtube. Searching for "Eric the Midget" and the year will bring up a playlist for that year.

This is so much funnier than I expected. I've never seen any of his pictures except for the cover of Lisa G's book, which was clearly shot through 1 foot of glass block while a supernova happened behind her. I am terrible at photography, and even at detected altered images, but his outside shots are so unnatural that I knew something was wrong in all of them before it was actually shown to me what had been changed.

And why do people always try to remove trees and poo poo like that? Just go shoot somewhere where the tree wasn't there if the tree offends you so.

Howard is ok at photography but absolutely terrible at Photoshop.

Agreed, though it's really interesting to see how his editing style reflects his personality. Completely obsessing over tiny little inconsequential things to the point where he ruins the big picture trying to fix them. OMG a shadow behind someone? Better clone-stamp everything behind it in an effort to hide it before someone knows my terrible secret!

edit:

Crotch Bat posted:

It seems like he's not that good at photography because if he was he wouldn't need to butcher his pictures with Photoshop.

That's just the thing, though. His pictures are alright on their own, and would benefit much more from slight tonal/color edits for taste than trying to re-write reality with tools at 100% opacity. Someone probably hammered it into his head that certain things in pictures are BAD and must be avoided at all costs, and in an attempt to get rid of those BAD things, he's ruining a perfectly alright shot.

It seems like a lot of the stuff he fucks with in photoshop is really inconsequential, like when he irrationally removes trees from the background, or is just him trying to cover what makes him insecure, like when he paints over his adams apple. I'd wager that his photos wouldn't be nearly as lousy if he just learned how to use his camera and didn't try to fix stuff that was never broken in the first place.

Probably too good to be true.

But if it is true, will Howard never ever mention Tim's name again, or will he complain that the evil corporate bosses fired him even though Howard wanted him around?

It's probably a decent way to waste an evening if you ever wanted to reassure yourself that at the very least you will never have as obsessive and creepy of a hobby as being the first to discover damning information about the Howard Stern Show, no matter how banal.

It is fun to check out the photoshops and stuff, but they are kind of obsessive and weird and creepy. It's like Howard is a hoax and they are investigating him like a crappy Paranormal/UFO show.

I used to think Stern fans in general were awful people with the racism and poo poo, but it turns out it was just people that post on Dawgs Salooon.

SternFanNetwork has significantly changed from being a cesspool of hate since that other forum opened. It's still unreadable, though.
