Red Tettmer Gives Us Valentine's Day Sexting

red-tettemer-sexting.jpg

As we sit here, stranded and lonely, on a miserably cold and rainy day in a Doubletree hotel in Tampa, we'll take any form of excitement and warmth we can get. So when we saw this Valentine's Day sexting thing from Red Tettmer, we jumped at the chance for human interaction. Sadly, Red Tettmer doesn't care how stranded and lonely we are. Our texts to the nimble-fingered Red tettmer hottie went unanswered. What's a person stuck in a hotel room to do?

Like Unicorns? There's an App For That

younicornme.jpg

There's over one million iPhone apps now. One million. Or something like that. Perhaps ten percent actually do something. The other ninety? Well, here's an example of what people are wasting their time creating and downloading. The street promotion for this app is actually more fun than the app itself.

Minneapolis agency mono created this pointless timewaster. Oh wait. People are into this unicorn crap. So we guess it's all good.

Does This Make My App Look Too Big?

Oh, there's an app for it alright. Why shouldn't plastic surgery have its own app? Developed by facial plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Denenberg, you can either look at hundreds of before and after shots, or take a pic of yourself and email the good doc for an evaluation over coffee. (Nip/Tuck/Latte?) Download it directly kids.

NUDE IT iPhone App Viral Even Comes With Real Fake OMG! Gasps

NUDE-IT.png

No, it does, really. (See below.) While not an actual working app, or is it? (*asked in super secret hushed tones*), the NUDE IT makes any scene nudetastic. Except, well, it's hard to tell if the hero in this one is saying OMG! because of the app's amazing see-through ability--or the subject he's looking at. Latter! Either way, lose the fake shock reactions (the shit will sell itself doncha know), and you still have a cool non-cgi viral, replete with tried and true old-school camera trickery that looks more amazing than it is. Or all you SUCKAZ can just check with creator That Bald Guy.

You Want to What on A Monday Morning?

hardees_parisian_pickup.jpg

Getting picked up by smarmy French guys with cheesy pick lines isn't exactly the thing one really wants to deal with on a Monday morning but, hey, like just about everything else these days, there's an app for that. And it's a branded app. Hence, we write about it to fulfill our duty to you loyal readers. Aren't we special?

So Hardee's - excuse us - Le Hardee's is out with Parisian Pick Up Tool, an app for "young hungry guys" which helps them pick up girls, insult their friends and, yes, ask for a discount at Hardee's...all in French.

Users can select their favorite French mouth image, select a message, and then hold the screen over their mouths to deliver it with a swarthy French accent or in perfect French with subtitles. The app also has coupon that can be used in-store.

We have LA's 72andSunday to thank for this Monday morning slap in the face.
