Sydney-based artist Scott Marsh recently completed this hilarious mural of the ‘Kanye loves Kanye’ meme.

The spray painted piece can be found on the side of Zigi’s Wine & Cheese Bar in Chippendale, Sydney, Australia.

The artwork is based on the photoshopped image above. The original is actually a photo of Kanye kissing his wife Kim Kardashian on the red carpet of the 2015 Grammy Awards.

Hipster Barbie Parodies ‘That Girl’ You Probably Follow on Instagram

The anonymous photographer is using a Barbie doll to troll the #liveauthentic life and it’s spot on.

Socality Barbie’s profile says it all:

If you spend any time on Instagram you know the aesthetic. If you don’t, take a quick browse through the #liveauthentic hashtag. It’s the life you wish you led.

The parody account was started by a wedding photographer based in Portalnd, Oregon; who for now, remains anonymous. The satirizing works so well because the photos themselves are meticulously crafted and staged. From the spot-on outfits and accessories, to the poses and of course the hashtags—the account is so entertaining because it’s so well done.

In an interview with Wired, the anonymous photographer opines:

People were all taking the same pictures in the same places and using the same captions. I couldn’t tell any of their pictures apart so I thought, ‘What better way to make my point than with a mass-produced doll?’

May the Sports Be With You [5 Photos]

May 4th marks Star Wars Day, a celebration of all things Star Wars. Did you know that the six live-action movies of the Star Wars saga debuted in May (starting with the original Star Wars on May 25, 1977)? The month of May also includes George Lucas’ birthday (May 14, 1944) and has been the traditional start date of the popular Star Wars Weekends at Walt Disney World Resort.

According to StarWars.com, one of the earliest known records of “May the 4th” used in popular culture was in 1979:

“Margaret Thatcher had won the election and become Britain’s first woman prime minister. To celebrate their victory her party took a half page of advertising space in the London Evening News. This message, referring to the day of victory, was ‘May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations,’ further proof of the extent to which Star Wars has influenced us all.” – Alan Arnold

Many sports pages on Facebook have already kicked off the festivities with a series of Star Wars-related sports photos. Check out some of the best below! For more Star Wars awesomeness, check out our previous Star Wars posts here.
