News is something that satisfies the natural curiosity of people about the events occurring around them. Lots of people do not know about things happening around them and may suffer due to that. The awareness and information about current affairs are important to live a successful and useful life in today’s world. It is said that knowledge is power in today’s world. So anyone who has lots of information about things is a powerful person.

There are many sources of information or news available in today’s world. Once upon a time, mouth to mouth publicity was the only source of spreading information about an event. Later, after the invention of the printing press, books became a great source of spreading information or knowledge to a great number of people at the same time.

Now a days due to amazing development of the modern technologies, there are so many sources of finding information. Many mediums of mass communication have emerged that can spread an idea to a great number of people instantly.

These days, due to the advent of a great medium of mass communication called the Internet, people sitting at their homes all over the world can get the same piece of information instantly. As news media have developed a lot, market demands for all kinds of news have emerged. Current affairs related news are still the most in-demand. News related to celebrities and entertainment are also very popular. Sports news is also in great demand among the young audience. Many young people also look for funny news online that inform them about odd or strange things happening all over the world.

The comic minds have been hard at work making funny tee shirts as well. Political humor shirts and joke tee shirts along with bumper stickers and signs are available for most any occasion . Don’t forget some funny gifts for kids and teenagers can be a real hit. As you can see there are some great products that will bring out the laughs and in so doing relieve some stress. And after all isn’t that the best gift of all. These are stressful days with the record breaking foreclosures, the tanking of the stock market and job insecurity. It is easy to see why so many people say they feel stressed out.

Taking pictures is about angles, framing, the placement of points of interest, colors and contrast. Sounds like a tall order doesn’t it? But if you break things down into steps, its much easier. Getting the right look to your funny pictures will put YOUR shots a head and shoulders above everyone elses.

What do you need to know? The first thing is understand something called the rule of thirds. Artists and other photographers use this as their constant guideline. Now this will sound a little strange, but what you really need to do is to off center your funny pictures. Not to make them funny pictures because they are off center, but to make them interesting and provocative.

Here’s how you imagine it. Hold up your camera to the scene you want to capture and now, imagine the sign over the lens. Focus on your shot and put the main focal point of the shot at one of the intersections of the pound sign NOT in the middle. While the main focus of your shot will be off center, the actual photo will show way more than you realize. You can do this with horizons too by the way. Put the horizon either really low or high, not in the middle. Off centering is one of the golden keys to good funny pictures.

Now, a word about heights and angles! This more than anything you can do with your photography will make a mediocre snapshot into something quite spectacular. First choose a vantage point that suits the subject. Say the funny picture you want to take is a clown getting hit in the face with a pie. If you want to really get the point across about the “Splat” effect of the pie hitting the clowns face, then take a close up shot of it just when it is about to hit to capture the expression of the clown and the flying whipping cream. You get the idea.

Comediennes are usually remembered for their jokes and how they dress. Drag queens like Lily Savage, Danny La Rue and Dame Edna Everage became famous for their false identities (opposite sex). Then we had Max Wall famous for his walk and Freddie Frinton for his role of a drunk on stage. These are just a few ideas, however the more unique you are under the spotlight may just keep you in the spotlight if you wish to make a career out of telling funny jokes. Some people are naturally talented when telling jokes, however for those who are not and find they have been nominated to entertain need not fret. All you do is watch a video of how other entertainers perform when telling jokes. Duplicate the jesters actions by standing in front of the mirror and practice, who knows you may even laugh at yourself at this point.

The rules of humor are analogous to those of poetry. These common rules are mainly precision, synthesis and rhythm. French philosopher Henri Bergson has said in an essay: “In every wit there is something of a poet.” In this essay Bergson views the essence of humor as the encrustation of the mechanical upon the living. He used as an instance a book by an English humorist, in which an elderly woman who desired a reputation as a philanthropist provided “homes within easy hail of her mansion for the conversion of atheists who have been specially manufactured for her, so to speak, and for a number of honest folk who have been made into drunkards so that she may cure them of their failing, etc.” This idea seems funny because a genuine impulse of charity as a living, vital impulse has become encrusted by a mechanical conception of how it should manifest itself. The question / answer joke, sometimes posed as a common riddle, has a supposedly straight question and an answer which is twisted for humorous effect; puns are often employed. Of this type are knock-knock joke, light bulb joke, the many variations on “why did the chicken cross the road?”, and the class of “What’s the difference between…” joke, where the punch line is often a pun or a spoonerism linking two apparently entirely unconnected concepts.

The next thing to consider when planning a funny video is whether you would like the funny video to be live action or animated. Animation used to be technology that was available only to well funded studios–however, the advent of Macromedia Flash and other similar software has resulted in something of an animation revolution. It is now possible for anyone to create a funny video that uses sophisticated animation techniques using a standard personal computer. Of course, while Macromedia Flash and other computer animation tools can have a fairly steep learning curve, anyone who is interested in created an animated funny video will do well if they take the time to learn how to use these tools. Once you have decided on the type of funny video as well as your audience, it is time to start writing. Even the shortest funny video (many a successful funny video has made the rounds of the internet while being less than a minute long) requires a basic premise and plot, and this requires planning and writing. The worst mistake that one can make when shooting a funny video is to try to do the entire thing off the cuff, with no written script. Particularly if multiple actors are involved, it is necessary to do some writing before shooting a funny video.

The real trick to finding a good joke is finding the right place and audience to tell the joke. A joke intended for somebody facing 10 years in prison is not the joke to be telling a Rabbi on the mount. Oh, did you hear about the Priest the Monk and the Rabbi who went into a bar? This is for Blonde …ah…readers that are still thinking about the first eight words at the start of this article. Oh, and that is all of the fingers on your right hand and all but the pinky and wedding ring finger on the left hand. Poking fun also works well if a little competition is going on. If there is a wide perception about a group of people, regardless of how big that group happens to be, there are likely going to be jokes floating around about that group. Competing schools for instance; what happened when Joe, the football player, transferred from UCLA to USC? The GPA for both schools went up. And now, to complete the running gag for blondes, the answer to; how do you keep blondes in suspense is.

The first rule of drawing a caricature is to enhance the recognizable features of the subject. Minimizing the recognizable features will eliminate the likeness of the portrait to the subject. Can you ever imagine Mick Jagger with small lips and mouth? This is where keen observatory powers come into play. The artist needs to figure out the special features in the subject and think of various ways to capture the individual’s personality and breathe life into the inanimate portrait. Every little detail of a caricature is important. These details make or break the impact of the work. The success of a caricature artist depends on the extent to which he/she exaggerates a recognizable feature of an individual. The artist needs to be bold enough to experiment with his art. One doesn’t necessarily need to be a good cartoonist in order to create a caricature. Often, caricatures are created by accident. Incorrect but recognizable representation of an individual can be classified as a caricature. Caricature is not always a cartoon; it can be a painting, a sculpture, or even a photograph.

Although hearing jokes is very entertaining and enjoyable to hear, it’s also just as entertaining and enjoying to the people who tells jokes. People who tell jokes usually are most times outgoing and fun to be around and enjoy life. Telling jokes can make certain people the life of the party or the office joker. So often we look for others to keep us entertained and telling jokes usually amuse us and keep us laughing. Jokes have became so popular into days society that we have jokes for certain days of the year(April fool’s day) and have special jokes for certain events that we attend such as Roasts, Birthdays, Wedding events, Parties and the many others events that we are a part of or attend. Although jokes are entertaining and enjoyable to hear, it still must be noted that jokes can be difficult to tell or deliver. Most jokes must have the right timing followed by the punch line to get the maximum effect of the joke.

Humor and jokes should be allowed in the work place to allow a happier and more jovial work environment. A funny joke can cheer up a person’s day and a little humor can relieve stress. If an individual is responsible to not offend a person and the company encourages their work force to be happy working for ‘The Man’ wouldn’t be so bad.
