little. yellow. different. A weblog by Ernie Hsiung

Yahoo! Taiwanese IMVironments. IMVironments, for those who don’t know, are sponsored “skins” for Yahoo!’s Instant Messenging system. Take a close look at that first IMVironment.

Why, yes. That is a baby standing in front of a ribbon-decorated maxipad! No, I have no idea why it’s there.

Usually, I would only blog this stuff in the mini-blog section, to your right. Then I had a conversation with Brian, the visual designer for Yahoo! Messenger.

Brian: there are so many things wrong with it.
Ernie: what happens if you do a buzz? i can only imagine
Brian: then you wouldn’t be able to re-buzz for another month or so
Ernie: 28 days.
Brian: terrible
Brian: it’s too bad you can’t load these into the US Messenger
Brian: there must be hacks out there, just like those bootleg DVD players

Brian: [brian uploads the babelfish translation link]
Ernie: oh my god
Brian: I’m really curious about this “Chest Free Xiu” lady
Brian: she’s a hottie
Brian: I guess “IMVironments” are called “Chats the Situations”?
Brian: it’s probably not as pun-iriffic
Ernie: they make up for the puns with extremely cute mascots, in front of, say, maxipads
Brian: gift-wrapped maxipads

The M&M chocolate, very blue is very green, you most breathe out the sun-dried shelled shrimp color?

Oh man, that really is weird… heh.

i’d say weird covers it fairly well…yes sir it does…heh!

That animation will haunt me to my grave.

Sort of reminds me of that time I used Babelfish to tranlate a Korean Linux site (don’t ask) and found out one of the features of this version of Linux was a “diarrhea wall”.

Wants to use chats the situation function? but teeth is jacked.

Peace!

OMG! Stop that blinking! It reminds me of the–[shudder violently]–IE tag.

Maxi Pads… but you gotta do the buzz. To not do so defies the point completely.

i can count on asians to deliver this sort of goodness for me. they never fail my brethren. run my asian brethren run, there is something you need here.

ah…just go with the flow.

Uh, its a “happy miscarriage!” graphic

Wow, it’s funny!
