Why would you even want to turn your computer monitor into a mirror in the first place?
to see the fail infront
In Soviet Russia, computer look at YOU!
Yes jack, the computer does look at you I can see all even when you are masturbaiting…. Go Commies
he should j ust use a webcam… it would work the same
what do you mean he?
he means “it”
Who knows. God makes idiots so we can laugh at them. That’s what happens when certain people breed with their own kind. But, hey, I’ve got some advice for him. He can afford a computer, right? Go buy a mirror.
Apparently, he has a mirror, since he scanned it. x)
How do you know its a he? this is such a ‘blonde’ comment…
Does anyone know how to turn a mirror into a computer monitor, I have tried sticky-taping a power cord to the back of it and plugging it into the wall, but it doesn’t work. It would be really great to make better use of my floor to ceiling mirror that way.
Hey ADPowers your so vein, maybe your the blonde.
Ummm i thought they wanted to make the monitor into a mirror to begin with. And as far as blondes are concerned, live next to one who is madd flippin intelligent.
… vein? … (fail)
The word ‘he’ is not gender-specific when referring to an unknown sex.
hell rite! <-the phial was planned <-dis wun to <-ditt-oh!
Grrr & Boooo for your anti-blonde (female) comment
I’m assuming they already have a mirror, since they said scanning a mirror didn’t work. Um, if you have a mirror, why not just use the mirror as a mirror?
Probably one of those miniature mirrors. I’d understand how he ‘scanned a mirror’. They can really thin, and if this guy has a brain issue that makes you idiotic… (The one where your head inflates with some kind of liquid) I’d know how he can’t look in it.
It’s the one where school girls bring them to school to look at themselves during class, then take our their phone to look at themselves and get both taken away.

That was HIGH-larious!
Ms Dragon, you have something to answer for.
I expect cuddles and soup, and perhaps a card 
Despite my greatest efforts with the surgical mask when you were sick… I am now sick myself
*sneezes all over dragonwriter*
Ooooh, I’m sorry sweetie!

No card though…you sneezed all over me! :p

hydrocephalus does NOT make you idiotic! my sister has had since she was born, and she is by no means idiotic!
I bet it’s just one of those mirror pirates who wanted to p2p the scanned mirror picture and ruin the mirror industry!
He didn’t count on the copy protection system all the big reflective surface industry players installed on the latest models, though.
Yea… and the water marks.
Not to mention the unlicensed private investigators they’ve been colluding with.

That cursed pirate… what he’s going to do next? scann a DVD? videogame maybe?
Asking tht kind of question, im impressed he actually made it to scan something!
I laugh at people stating “God makes” other people. You fail at basic biology!
FAIL !
I’m still laughing at the ‘scanning a mirror doesn’t work’.
I should scan my mirror.
But I don’t look at it in the first place, causing me to look like I just got out of bed when I go outside. Thing is, I probably did just get out of bed. Pajama win.
Do you have bedsores yet?
btw good idia! Never thinked that u can scan ur mirror! Maybe u can scan some ghost faces from it :-O
…..grandma ?
sry im not ur grandma!
I should try scanning a mirror… maybe I could see the demon/virus that makes my computer a pain.
or a bright scan light bar :r
And some Killahs.
Nah, if you scanned them, you’d probably have to pay royalties.
WTF are you talking about?
Maybe the guy wants to know whether he/she’s a vampire or not?
Actually, maybe they’re like some of the people on Failblog. Never getting off the computer. Then, I don’t blame them, but if they can’t afford a web cam, I pity them.
Syn, you have heard of the ‘Law’, yes? Well, the ‘law’ requires all British youth to go to school. Thus, I do not spend all my time on the computer due to this ‘law’ and ‘homework’.
I think the quotations really made that post.
Why thank you. I add them for ‘effect’.

Thank you for that input there Loz.
Hehe, I just find it highly amusing.
I find it “amusing” too.
And “me”.
Whew! The “night-shift” is here, so I can leave “now”!

Hi dragon! How’s the new book coming along? I’ve been working on mine this weekend.
Hehe, Izzard’s on TV, “I think God had many sons and Jesus was the seventh. A-sus, B-sus, C-sus, D-sus, E-sus, F-sus and then Jesus.”
Seeing him made me think of my failblog chums!
Heeee. I ♥ Eddie Izzard.
And the new books are coming along just fine, thanks! I’m actually working on two at the moment…one I’m writing and one I’m still researching. But the one I’m writing is coming along swimmingly! Thanks for asking!
I’ve got a friend that emphasizes words with asterisks.
For example:
“I know that you are *very* busy today, but I absolutely *need* this report.”
Drives me up the wall.
you sound upset about it. don’t be down! just remember, school days are the best times of your life. bwaahahaha… hahaha… oh god. sorry.
yup – no matter how much your school days sucked, it’s all downhill from then on. Unless you’re the guy whose school days sucked so much that he invented Prozac. He’s not rich, but has a lifetime supply…
mmmmmm Prozac…
It was people saying exactly that that contributed to my absolute misery through high school. Luckily I was mature enough by then to realize that basically the entire world was full of sh!t, but it didn’t stop it from being depressing…
People saying exactly that contributed greatly to my high school misery. Fortunately I was mature enough at that point to have realized that pretty much the entire world is full of sh!t, so I didn’t really believe it, but it didn’t make it any less depressing.
All things considered, though, I think being a virgin was the worst part by far.
*this might triple-post. I !*@#ing hate wordpress. yaaaargh)
People saying exactly that greatly exacerbated my high school misery. Not that I really believed them, because I had figured out by then that pretty much everybody was at least partially full of excrement. But it didn’t make it any less depressing… High school sucked. ( Which is a drastic understatement on par with saying that Harrison Ford aged well.)
All things considered, though, virginity was the worst part by far.
You’d think the not going out during the day, and the aversion to garlic and crosses would have been dead give-aways.

Maybe his reflection wasn’t doing what he was anymore.
Didn’t they just make a movie about that?
Oh! I posted a comment at 7:11, how convenient!
yes…..oddly enough, it was called “Mirrors”.
* Jasmine reflected a moment, and then said: *
yes….and oddly enough, it’s called “mirrors”
You know, I think you’re right.
It was “on” the show “Heroes.” It’s a “good” show.
Yeah, it is stupid to scan a mirror, but on macs, there is a widget that is a mirror. It uses the camera at the top of the computer and turns the image so that it looks like you are looking into a mirror.
^ this comment is obviously photoboothed.
I’m guessing because they’re using their mirror as a monitor. How else are they supposed to see themselves without a mirror?
Then you don’t have to walk to a mirror just everything in all.
If people do not have a mirror, they can use a webcam to see themselves on their PC/MAC
So you can use a mirror without walking to the bathroom.
…or just use a webcam.
Actually, depending on what kind of monitor you have. a pure black screen might work.
You could also just turn it off.
maybe to always be able to watch a failed life
Wow, I am 1/4 down the page and JUST getting to second comment >_<
Nyah, failed.

Absolute TIMING FAIL.
Why not posting a link to the forums when it’s a fail like this? Wanna read the Reactions. *g*
Google for the question. It’s the first hit.
Comment thread fail.
How…how can you post in the comment thread without noticing that there are comments in it? I…my life will never be the same.
Brain FAIL
You have to admit… it does make you think!
Bubbles, about that petition I signed…
tru, tru

When s/he gets it to work and starts watching the monitor, it’ll be like “Its a Simple Life” reruns, all day, every day.
Scan what you want to reflect!
Reflect on what you want to scan!
Want what you scan to reflect!
What you want scan to reflect!
That would actually be kinda cool for a background… but, eh….. me don’t think we’re far enough in science :S
Star Trek fun fact: It was actually Scotty’s invention that allowed computer monitors to act as mirrors that got Earth admitted into the United Federation of Planets.
I thought it was his invention of creme-filled toroids that did that.
It’s possible in Linux if you were to stream your webcam through mplayer and then have mplayer output to xwinwrap which displays on the background.
I don’t know the exact code for it, but I’m sure it can be done.
what about the shine phone?
LAST!
Oh, go shoot J.R. or something!
^LAST FAIL^
Not likely.
Plenty more to come actually. Please stand by.
You may already be a FAILer!
That may already be a faillacy!
English language fail.
I was referring to “Dallas” posting last…and clearly not being the last post.
It’s called a webcam. Although scanning a mirror gets you a great picture of the bright light in your scanner.
I scanned a mirror. To use as a pattern to cut a new piece of mirror glass. I expected it to be a disaster. But it turned out surprisingly gray. With nice images of my fingerprints on it.
Maybe if you polish your monitor really, really, REALLY well?
The last thing we need on Failblog is to encourage people to “polish” their “mirrors”…
How about ‘shining’ their ‘reflective surfaces’?
Just about as acceptable as “turning” their “knobs” “clockwise.”
Or maybe even ‘rubbing’ their ‘penises’.
I think maybe I’ve missed the point
No no…you’ve “missed” the “point”.
Please insert pointless comment here.
You already did.
Point taken.
Are we “talking” about what I “think” we’re talking about?
But pob, you love polishing your knight’s helmet.
Man, have I fallen…
You were once a Lancelot.
they could have been trying to determine if reflection was a ‘magical’ property that could be captured in an image file…
and i cant believe i spelled my name wrong. i fail
OH OH i know!how aboouutt… scanning your mirror?! Oh wait…
haha.. that’s a good one..
It’s poor reflection on the failed one’s science skills.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
lets post here every 1, picshures from ur scaned mirrors!
Wait. I have a better idea. Let’s not.
I second that idea.

This thread is brought to you by the letter U.
Sesame Street do sponserships now?!
How long did it take to think that one up?
starts to thinking… After 1 year passed: not long i think.
I have a better idea than scanning a mirror : scan your face. then, the monitor will be kind of a mirror that is only able to reflect a particluar image….
I’m sure there is a name for that?
how about actually using a mirror? no good?
Don’t try, you’re not gonna like what you’ll see.
Sounds like you’ve already had some bad experience with that…
Yeah, i realized that i’m beautiful. How sad.
You’re so vain, you probably think this comment’s about you.
Carly Simon …. er …WIN?
Im confused by that song, as the song is about him being vain, she sings about him, so it is kind of about him isnt it???
Or, if you’re obsessed with seeing yourself on a monitor, a webcam? Or just go stand in front of a TV store window?
Your world frightens and confuses me. When I see myself on a TV monitor I think “Are they stealing my soul?”
Yes, as a matter of fact. They are.
What the kid wants to do is set the pipe video from his webcam through a horizontal reverse filter to his root window.
..he’s just not competent enough to state it that way.
Thing is, it’s possible too, but he’s probably on windows and I couldn’t begin to say what you’d have to do to get that functionality there, haven’t used it in a year.
All the naysayers, sometimes you just don’t want to carry an extra mirror, is that so complex? My webcam is a higher res than my screen, albeit with only a quarter the framerate.
Real mirrors are passe these days ;/
I can confirm that not only does scanning a mirror DO work, but it’s also possible to then print the image, using a colour printer, making a very neat, paper thin, cheap mirror.
My faith in humanity = gone.

Hey, I use Yahoo! Answers sometimes!
Wekweti should change is name to ”His Royal Doucheness”
its better if you could just scan ur own face. it’ll work trust me, but dont scan if u look like an ass.
Hey, does anyone know how I can turn my monitor into a pool? Scanning water just broke my scanner. :/
I lol’d.
I scanned loads of bank notes. Can I exchange my monitor for gold?
You’ve got a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow, and you want more? Bah! and they say Americans are greedy!
Hey, we weren’t the ones who caused a global economic crisis out of greed! :p
Wait, wasn’t the EU supposed to make Europe economically strong enough to wether a bad US economy?
weather*
And we have weathered it. Relatively.
There was only a light drizzle of spending.
*sighs*
Have I mentioned today how much I hate what the Bush administration has done to the country I love?
You just did. But fear not, little one. The end is nigh!
I sure hope so. Remember how badly you wanted to be an adult when you were a teenager? That’s how badly I’m longing for the arrival of January 20th, 2009.
But really, how is January going to make it that much better? Does anyone else feel like we’re going to have to chose the least bad candidate, not the best one, next month?
Politics won’t improve below this level
I think Obama could make a decent president. Anything’s an improvement, after all.
If we are after an improvement, why not just draft a tapeworm into office?
Depending on whom you speak to, both candidates ARE tapeworms!
Feeling that we’re choosing the “least bad” candidate is exactly what the Republicans want you to feel. It means you’re less likely to vote, and Republicans traditonally do better when voter turn out is lower.
.
Obama’s not perfect–no politician ever is–but he’s the best choice we’ve had in a long time.
Or when the votes are rigged.
True, true…. Despite the “least bad” options, the country’s basic ebb and flow, imho, requires a trade-off between the two parties every several terms. One concentrates on spending/social/make nice, while the other focuses on military/lower taxes/business. Balanced between the two, the nation works well. Too much (the past 4 years) of one side, and we end up getting off track.
Again, just my opinion. I don’t like either choice – Can’t we elect Biden and McCain (in that order) next month? New write in campaign!!!
A very thorough ananlysis of politics there. From the person named “lunchbox”.
Don’t let the name fool you. I have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about! And I can prove it!
We need a few years of Democratic policies to repair the damage done by 8 years of Republican policies.
Which was done repairing 8 years of Democratic policies.
*is the voice of dissent echoing in the night*
I’d gladly suffer through the economic prosperity of the Clinton years anytime! Oh, and the burden of having America be respected in the world, I’d welcome that too.
Did you all here something?
I there-ed something.
POB, as a staunch Republican, I used to despise Clinton. In retrospect, I have to agree. As much as his ‘antics’ damaged the office of President, he did a damn good job of getting this country back on track. Alas, the body count that follows the Clintons keeps rising, but other than that, he wasn’t as ‘meh’ as I thought.
heheh … research the roots of the ‘sub-prime’ lending and there you will find democrats who were proponents of a very flawed system …
*knows you don’t discuss politics in polite company*
The fact that Clinton’s “antics” made so much more hoopla in this country than the fact that the U.S. has been run by a war criminal who has condoned and signed off on torture and murder for the past four years just makes me want to curl up in a little ball of pain.
And move to another country.
Bullshit. We need to stfu about politics.
Republicans rule. lolz
*cuddles the little ball of pain*
*soothes*
Oooh, thank you. That’s much better.
And nope…I’m not going to sit down and shut up and be a good little girl just because someone who thinks that opinion constitutes an argument tells me to do so. I’ll talk about what I want where and when I want to. If you don’t like it, you can ignore it or respond, as is your right.
You go girlfriend!
*dances with pom-poms*
But if we don’t do what others tell us to do then we would have to think. And where would that to?
Make that “lead to.” Perhaps I should just go to bed now. All of my pomposity is shot to pieces.
There, there…
*pat pat pat*
Your support is always appreciated!
Great. Now I’m a bra.

Hi, is it possible to turn my monitor into a portal to Mars? I tried scanning a Mars Bar and it just made everything sticky.
I actually laughed despite myself.
Maybe he wanted a mirrored background for his webpage so that everyone that visits it will see his face. ….wait…
He found a website he liked and is trying to mirror it. He tried calling the webmaster, but couldn’t understand what Spider-Man was saying through his mask.

That’s what happens when you scan a mirror.
Dammit. Why don’t you people help this poor sod out.
Here you go mate. http://www.lakewoodconferences.com/direct/dbimage/50285586/Framed_Mirror.jpg
Problem solved.
By the way. The is a magic mirror. You can print it and take it with you.
I know, they don’t understand. But we do, don’t we.
I Xeroxed a mirror one time. I have two Xerox machines now.
Is that a photocopier? Xerox sounds so much cooler, though. Like a cartoon baddie.
You guys don’t call it a Xerox? This is like how you call normal sized paper “A4″.
I faxed a Kleenex to Ireland, but it came out as a facial tissue.
We have Kleenex as a brand, we just don’t refer to all tissues as ‘a Kleenex’.
That’s like people calling vacuum cleaners ‘Hoovers’.
And ‘A4′ is much easier than saying ‘normal-sized paper’!
DAMN RIGHT!
DAMN LEFT!
As long as you don’t damn skippy. One of my friends’ high school nickname was Skippy.

Irn-Bru is the most bizarre energy drink ever.

We butchered it? Hey, we’re just trying to do our best with the tangled mess of Germanic and Romance influences you call a proper language!

Romance? Don’t you mean Latin?

And for the record, I can’t fault you for your non-Germanic influences. It’s hard not to be influenced by romance!

Well, if you guys hadn’t gotten invaded so damned often, perhaps English would be a bit more intuitive and consistent!
:p
DO YOU MIND??? We are trying to discuss where else Ebonics meets Spanglish. Jeeesus. Some people.
You called?
I think he did.
Sorry…it’s difficult to participate in conversations when the subject has already changed! :p
Why thank you. I think I will have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Actually, it is Romance influence, and not simply Latin. You conveniently forget that not only Latin, but Norman French, Spanish, Italian, and probably even Catalan, Sardinian, Romanian, and a whole multitude of others added to English.
Etymological FAIL.
As if most of todays TFT screens with those damn glare panels weren’t reflective enough to shave with already…
The contrast of your monitor is so sharp you can shave with it.
he could get one of those dentist thingies and hook them up on the side of his monitor and then just push them infront of the monitor whenver he needs it to see himself masturbating
Why doesn’t he just look down?
that’s what she said
Overused one-liner…
*Ticks boxes*
he wouldn’t need a mirror infront of the computer if he was able to look down… duh!
he should put his head into the scanner
NOOOOOOOOOO then there will be 2 of them!!!!
or an MRI
Of course! I have a scanner! I wish I hadn’t just spent three million dollars on my MRI setup.

Enjoy.
My emails aren’t full of boobs. I feel left out…
Mine has too many penes, usually in the form of enlargement products. Thankfully my monitor also doesn’t do 3D images, or I’d have lost an eye by now ha ha ha.
As you should! My email is full of boobs.
My email is full of mortgage and penis enlargement offers from boobs.
Mine isn’t full of penis enlargement emails? maybe they know something that you don’t….

You probably wouldn’t want to reduce your penis either.
(Isn’t it odd that Failblog censors c0ck but not penis?)
Penis, technically, isn’t swearing. (Although, I suppose it depends on the context that you use the word c0ck)
I’ve heard the word penis on the Simpsons once.
They have used Bastard as well.

Likely a fake, Yahoo! Answers is the LCD of the internet, people (me) frequently go there to ask the dumbest questions possible in order to start a lolstorm.
Go give it a try. Ask “Did Jesus go to college?” and throw in a reference about your mom saying he’s a bad role model because he didn’t, watch the “answers” pile up.
….. PAGES? IN MY FAILBLOG?
Click show all, then the naughty page won’t get you.
I wonder how many people are disappointed that clicking Show All doesn’t get them a naughty page…
I certainly was.
This one was in fact an imitation of a previous Y!A fake. (I guess someone just scanned it and posted it again.)
Best way how to turn your monitor into mirror is to turn it off.
That’s a surprisingly sensible answer to a dumb question. Thank to Determined for restoring order!
O_O OMG WUT
i bet ur momma has a mirror ooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh
Did you try scanning a picture of a mirror with your reflection in it? That might work.
Did he think it would just poof on there and be reflective?
LOL
He could put his webcam on a loop and set it as background. Or buy those wing mirrors Mods use on their scooters and fit them to his monitor. Is he so paranoid that he thinks someone is creeping up behind him?
Does anybody know how I can make my windows desktop look like a real window? I scanned a piece of glass, but it didn’t work.
you got to plug your computer to the window…
This makes me want to scan a mirror. Just to see what it looks like. It’d probably just turn out as a white rectangle though, huh?
see the link Ravi posted for you above

I wanted to make my desktop cooler, but putting it in the fridge doesn’t work. Ideas?
I looked at this question’s page on yahoo answers and apparently he wanted to know how to make his monitor a mirror because he wanted a really funky background for his screen.
It’s a joke…
what a loser…
I think he needs a program called ‘xwinwrap’. I hear that will do it.
I really want to know what the responses are to this question.
Guys dont laugh you can do this. First you have to prepare the LCD. Fill your tub with vinegar, salt, sliced oranges and baking soda. With the monitor turned on submerge it completely into the bath. Remove it after 5 minutes and you will be able to set your background to a picture of a mirror!
If you find out how to do it, I’ll fax you a six-pack.
This was resolved.. Can we see the answer?
i think this is just some guy making these things up just to be funny, i don’t thnk there’s anyone on the internet who’s that dumb
although i think you could do somthing like that
you could do somthing with a webcam and have it as a mirror option to put it vaguely
What really scares me is that people like this are allowed to vote!
Whats he gonna do next?…. Use a mirror as a monitor? XD haha…
FAIL!!
Maybe he should scan his face instead
that is absolutely amazing that that guy thought if you scan a mirror it will make your desktop a mirror. *hours of staring at guy* he is clearly very blond
OMG, how STUPID can you be?
Have a look at http://reptilepeople.wordpress.com
OMFG WOW UR A RETARD
like if u scan a mirror as a backround like wtf
just turn off ur moniter and WALLA A MIRROR
wow…
You have no concept.
Nor enough information.
Man, Yahoo! Answers is full of this kind of stuff. You will see spectacular fails in there all day long. I spend half of time on that site trying to talk dumbass teenagers out of piercing their own tongues with embroidery needles.
its actually possible…. just goto http://snopes.com/photos/risque/graphics/prolapse.jpg
use a web cam..ya muppet
Just use a Webcam, fool
AAHAHHA ROFLMAO SCANNED THE MIRROR???!!! OH I CANT STOP LAUGHIN AHAHAH
Bethcha this guy is the husband of that one chick with the epic conspiracy fail.
A Webcam could be used to achieve this with an app that would output the video stream to be used as a wallpaper.
Paint your desktop black using either display properties or a can of glossy black spray paint.
This should work fine … isn’t mirror a color?
The answer to this question is extremely simple…webcam. Works every time.
Can you actually be that stupid?
I think I understand what this guy was getting at but the way he presented it was hilarious (as was his attempted solution). I think he wanted a desktop background that would make his computer screen a reflective surface like a mirror so that when he stares at his desktop, he will see himself (not that his desktop would actually dynamically change to a picture of his face every microsecond) but not when he has anything else on screen.
Of course you could accomplish that just by getting a cheap CRT monitor with A LOT of glare.
You talked about this THAT much?
Oh wow. Wow, I didn’t realise some people literally had sh*t for brains. :O
Actually it says it’s a resolved question. I would love to see what the most voted answer was.
This is very easy to achieve with a small program I wrote many years ago on my very first computer ( it was a Vic 20 ) Now that’s old. But seeing this program won’t run on computers of today ( any way it’s probably fare beyond your programing skills ) it probably doesn’t help much. But don’t panic all is not lost yet I have another solution at hand, a quick trip to the hardware store will solve the problem. All you need is to purchase a mirror with a self adhesive backing & stick it on the front of your monitor & ha-presto a monitor that works as a mirror. Not bring able to see the monitor any more wont affect your computer skills it may some what improve them. Much to our delight at least we wont here from you any more.
Set up your webcam viewer such that the image is left-right reversed
Easy. Same way as your TV.
Doing phone support for a computer company, I heard a lady who, upon trying her new printer for the first time, complained that the pages were printed on the wrong side of the paper. Uh?? Her first printer ejected the pages face up, whereas this one used the other technique, you know, page down.
Does anyone know how I can turn my mirror into a computer monitor? I tried to connect it to my CPU, but there is nothing to plug in to. EPIC FAIL.
Quoted from the real Yahoo Answers site:
“This answer wasn’t as informative as other answers, but it made me laugh, so I had to choose it as the best answer.
Anyway, it seems like it may be possible, maybe not now, but with future monitors.
No. I don’t want to just look at myself. I just want a really funky background for my screen.”
Wow.
Read the answers. They’re even more fail http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060923202508AAKhUd3
Use a WEBCAM. It works! No fail here.
Easy. Just install a webcam, point it at yourself, and use ms frontpage.
lol, there are like 15 of these questions on yahoo answers xD
scanning a mirror worked just fine for me…
Someone got a link to this yahoo answer?
yes this guy is very stupid but…I think that there is a way you can make your web cam display on the home screen…
It makes sense right?
lol
wow sometimes i just want to punch retarded people in the face
hahahahahhahahahahah
“scanning a mirror doesnt work” that’s the best thing I’ve EVER HEARD. OMG xD Give him the nobel price, please. Maybe Orwell will give him a telescreen as a consolation price if he fails with Alfred.
Maybe the one asking the question is one of those hideous girls who must look at themselves constantly. But in that case, I would suggest doing what Pavi Largo does and carry around a small mirror.
the sad thing is this is real, my friend is the one who posted this and huge burn on him lol I linked him on facebook
i was there XD…was so cash
UMmmmmm, its call a web camera LOL
GIVE IT TO ME!!! .. I will turn it into mirror and then will SHIP it to you. BUt hey .. you gotta pay me shipping and handling charges …. rofl …
what you have to do is remove the screen from the monitor, and replace it with a mirror. works every time. you must be retarded not to think of that yourself.
OMG what a retard thats meager fail
who would think of such a thing!?
Not a fail, he said that as a joke.
