Framed

Taylor Swift, Framed

Hello, readers, and welcome to Framed, the magical blog that writes itself. This week we continue to bring in heavyweight talent in the person of Taylor Swift, America's most age-appropriate artist. Taylor's excellent videos have been featured in this space many times and have generally brought a thumbs-up from our enlightened readers. God bless America!

Our video is "The Best Day," which seems to be a tribute to her mom, Andrea, who's also prominently featured. The vid is a mash-up of old home movies that are probably more sweet than cloying, and you're sure to enjoy watching Taylor grow up right there on your computer screen. And, if not, there are always our captions to fall back on. Everybody likes them!

Please post what we'll later construe to be your thoughts, and be back here again next week, when Framed does the unimaginable!

Important blog notes #1 & #2! First off, let's honor another intrepid reader's excellent caption. This week it's Yahoo! Music User bringing home the bacon with this gem:

Sneako, The Sentient Sneaker, kept trying to escape his human captor, but to no avail.

Sneako, eh? Good stuff, User, good stuff! Congrats to everyone who's trying to improve on our work, and--by all means!--keep the alternate captions comin'!

And with that, we segue into readers' posts. We have a lot of respect for anyone who posts a comment here, mostly because Framed is a well-known hotbed of wit. In keeping with our long-established tradition, here's a few of your best posts over the last few weeks, along with our replies. We do this, of course, for the troops.

Important blog note #3!  This week marks the three-year anniversary of Framed here in Y! Music. Our thanks to all of the good folks at Y! Music who help make it possible--we're speaking of Arcy, Tiffany and Terrelle--and our profound thanks, of course, to all of our readers.

 

 

1 -- The team of psychologists later noted that the child's drawing of Gummo was "accurate," but "unrealistically, possibly pathologically, small."

 

2 -- " I can has cheezburger?"

 

3 -- "I'm only doing this until my ship comes in! And then, if it's an 'uneven performance' at the Grammys, who cares?"

 

4 -- Raising a child, it turned out, wasn't brain surgery, but being a child...

 

5 -- "And if this one isn't a megapopular entertainer, why, what the hell. I'll just sell it on eBay."

 

6 -- "Damn. Next Christmas I'm asking for a ukulele."

 

7 -- "Mud flowed up into Lump's pajamas, she totally confused all the passing piranhas!"

 

8 -- "See the pretty birdies? Aren't they so pretty, all covered in the nice oil?"

 

9 -- "I'd like to introduce everyone to my little brother, Notso!"

 

10 -- "I told you not to pack heat for the flight. Didn't I tell you?"

 

11 -- "'Pathologically small,' eh?"

 

12 -- We knew the "kids having kids" epidemic continued, but this is kinda crazy.

    By Todd Cunningham LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - "Iron Man 3" was soaring past $1 billion at the worldwide box office Thursday, in a display of world domination that would make one of Marvel's super villains proud. The box-office bounty - roughly $700 million from abroad and $300 million domestically - is a major triumph for Disney, which bet big on comic book superheroes when it bought Marvel Studios for $4 billion in 2009. And its decision to bring aboard a Chinese partner for "Iron Man 3" and focus the Disney marketing machine on the booming foreign market looks pretty good right now, too. ...
