Twitpic shenanigans (part one)

Practically the only thing that has been posted on TSP for the last two years have been retrospectives showing all the stupid photos I've uploaded to Photobucket over the years (parts 1, 2, 3, 4) so for the first post in eight months why not continue the trend?

Photobucket has been done. Those were the days when you had to put some effort into taking photos and uploading them. Five years ago I even went out and bought a new digital camera, but you still had to have it with you AND be bothered both transferring AND uploading it. Oh the misery. First September 11 now this etc... Then mobile phones with cameras came along, but you still had to download the photos, then internet enabled mobiles but you still had to find somewhere to save them. Then some sick freaks invented Twitter and we were off to races.

Ironically it was Twitter than finally killed TSP in 2009 after Facebook had softened it up during the 07/08 season - so let us salute the images that caused this blog to die in the arse well before its ten year anniversary (that would be October this year TSP fans, get ready for that extravaganza of self loathing). Exact dates are not provided so you'll just have to do your own math working back from 13/08/12. Also you'll have to right click/view most of them to get the full idea, it's easier than me working out how to change a template.
