We were in San Diego at the time, on an 8-month contract, when I rolled into work one morning to the sounds of hysterical laughter and snickering.
One of the guys had been sent a link to a site where some guy scans the office artwork of his co-workers' children and critiques it for the world to read.
Yes, it sounds cruel, but it was pretty funny.
I laughed right along with them and decided to send the link to my mother.
She called about an hour later telling me that whoever decided to put "that into the Internet" was mean and I was mean for laughing at it.
"You were never bad at art, but laughing at what a five year old draws ... ?" she said. "Not every kid is an artist."
This only made me laugh harder because she'd missed the point completely.
Yesterday, I discovered that the guy behind this hot mess is now a published author. His book chronicles his critiques.

I saw this years ago.
hilarious.
It's Maddox. He's been running "The Best Page in the Universe" for years now. http://maddox.xmission.com/
Years ago I saw his critique of a fire truck picture..it slayed me..all day long. An ascerbic sense of humour does have its place after all :)
I'm laughing like a lunatic all alone in my office.
