What's different about PublicLens from almost all other photo humor sites? Nearly all of our material is first-hand. We spend hours searching actual camera phone photographs and post the funniest one's we find within hours of their upload. Most other sites recycle the same old pics. PublicLens, where the Funny is Fresh!

Thanks for the Warning!

This Is Not the Toilet You Were Looking For

Wait a minute...that's NOT the toilet?!?

Holy crap!!! (literally)

All these years I've been using that thing for the toilet. I'm so embarrassed. I'm so sorry, Mom, all my roommates. What must you have thought when you looked into....whatever that actually is.

I guess it's best I finally found out.

What sets PublicLens apart from almost all other funny photo sites? Nearly all our pictures are first-run. That is, we spend the time to cull through thousands of postings on camera phone picture sites like twitpic.com and yfrog.com to find the fresh funny. Most photo and video humor sites just recycle stuff they found on other similar sites. PublicLens: Our Funny is Fresh!

As the guy who tweeted this photo said, "As opposed to what?"

5. I was going to suggest that you come up with a furniture design more offensive than the one above, but you can't.

Ferrari Limo

Maybe if you were really late for the prom.

No wait...it's fashionable to be late. But arriving in a Ferrari limo would be the height of fashion. But it's fast, so you'd arrive too early, which is unfashionable.

Clearly Ferrari limos cause way too many problems to be at all practicable.

Vampires Rejoice! Blood Now Comes in Flavors

Image by photoscott via Flickr

When I was this kid the cereal section at the grocery store was maybe about ten feet of one aisle. You had your flakes, your puffs, and a few shredded thingies, and you were done.

Now of course the cereal variations take up about half the average store. Well, they would, but probably because of cereal variety inflation, grocery stores are now the size of military supply depots.

The thing is, cereal brands have realized that in order to keep growing sales you have to keep offering consumers an ever-growing variety of cereal flavors. First they just sugar-coated everything, but that got old. Then all sorts of artificial fruits and berries were added. (Which can lead to litigation; see Crunchberry lawsuit.)

So yay for regular mortal types and their incredibly overwhelming choiceability when it come to breakfast table fare!

But until now the vampire market has been totally overlooked by the Food Industry. Until now.

Up next: Sugar Frosted Blood with Crunchberries.

Haunted Travel Poster

Don't turn around Travel Poster Lady! Don't turn around!!

There's a g-g-g-ghost--oh, it's too HORRIBLE to say!

Thank God you are a cardboard cutout and so can't be as terrified as we are!

Awkward Picture Frame Stock Photo

You know how when you buy picture frames they usually come with some generic stock photo so you can imagine how the frame will look with your favorite family portrait? Or perhaps you leave that photo in because the generic stock photo family looks better than yours. In any case, those photos are usually anything but creepy.

But not always.

Witness the photo in this frame-for-sale at a copy center, captured on the camera phone of alert PublicLens reader @jeremycasella:

Have you captured an awkward, bizarre, or befuddling moment with your camera phone? Submit it to publiclens.mail AT gmail DOT com. If we use it, we will give you full credit, including links back to any of your sites you choose.

Artsy Cake Makes an Impression(ism)

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,

How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

"Vincent" - Don McLean

Ingenious But Simple Anti-Pollution Device

What with Global Warming and all, emissions from automobiles are a big concern, nearly as large as flatulent cows.

This guy, though, is sure to pass even California's strict standards. And far better than any catalytic converter--his device leaves the environment smelling piney fresh!

Mad Cow? It's a Riot!

Today's picture is from and in honor of the brand new blog from the folks at Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me, the best thing to happen to radio since the doctor said to Mrs. Marconi, "Si tratta di un ragazzo!" 

The actual story here is a protest by European dairy farmers over falling milk prices. One shudders to think what might have happened to those police if they had not had riot shields! As the caption at the Wait Wait blog points out, what if one of them had been lactose intolerant?
