In honor of SOPA, here is the proper link to a proper video with no copyright_infringes_ in this blog.

Convolute L: Elle

Could not help but notice the similarities between these two covers of Elle, one featuring Britney Spears and one featuring Lady GaGa. The two are certainly similar in the sense that they both flaunt platinum blond hair and credit Madonna as a musical influence.

Convolute K: Kim Kardashian Cites God

The Jenner-Kardashian brood is currently the subject of a book being shopped in the publishing world. The most notable quotable of 2011? Kim Kardashian found God on Twitter, but she's not the first celebrity to do so, nor is she the first to challenge the public's perception about her through this social network.

Earlier in 2011, the INF Daily posted pictures from Megan Fox's Twitter account. The starlet used her account to upload photos in response to her rumored use of Botox. Check it out here. Celebrities can use new media to manage their own PR campaigns.

Convolute J: Jacque's Justice (Most Creative Error Messages of 2011)

What could be worse than being foiled by your favorite media outlet? Possibly being directed to an uncreative redirect page. Best "Whoops" designs of 2011 after the break.

#1: The Bleary, Twitter Curmudgeon Chiller Template

This designer for Twitter makes apt use of the ambiguity surrounding the word "chill." Is "chill as in halt" chill or dark? Do you identify with rabid ice cream cones? #immelting

#2: The Mac OS X Disses Spotify (It's-Just-Like-Real-Life Fun Factor of 1.25/5.00 Stars)

Safari, however, manages to convey the hauteur of a Mac down to its 404s.

#2.5: Derrida Deconstruction of the Blog Post

In an unrelated note, there is no better marker of absurdist anger than Angry French Philosopher Jacques Derrida ranting about Angry Philosophical Misinterpretations. Even deconstruction, a system of philosophical communication, gets a bad rap. Much like the Twitter and Mac error messages, he deconstructs deconstruction itself. As a method of literary inquiry, it's like Derrida is sending his own error message out to the public while he frames infinitely more abstract arguments.

#3: Google Bot is Awry

Makes sense that the physical realm of the computer, another system of high-level communication, has developed its own language for errors. As in the case of the Google bot below, which showcases a bot that's broken into pieces. I encountered the bot when trying to scrobble some old photographs on the New Friends blog here, another blog that seems atemporal with its rendition of antiquated photographs and modern text. But, here, you cannot help but laugh at the image of a perplexed robot as a 404 error.

You won't get information superhighway road rage with these error messages, unless that is, SOPA restricts one's ability to navigate the Internet.

Convolute I: International Artists

These dyads are like an artist's means of showcasing their work to an international audience. Here, the Google+ profile showcases the work with five major pieces and a larger, encompassing profile picture. For artists, this design enhances the clarify of their image. The work is then accessible to an international stage of art.

Convolute H (Runner Up): High-Waisted Jeans

Z. Cavaricci pants bring to mind the popular look of the early '90s. These have come back in style and are the runner-up in relation to "Holograms."

Convolute H: Holographic Jesus Postcards
