It’s called ThirdEye, it’s made out of a real human skull, and it takes pictures like this: Why not find your own human skull that’s not currently being used (try a Fox News aficionado) and make your own. Just the thing for taking pix at a Halloween bash.

Where’s the Money in Media Event

May 26, 2009

2

This comes from Facebook, and with a hat tip to Raul Pacheco. In a climate of mainstream media collapse, this should be an interesting and possibly heated event.
