Wikiality.com presents 2008 in pictures!

The truthiest review of 2008 EVER!

On the Truthiness Encyclopedia we've been collecting images throughout the year for our caption game (http://www.wikiality.com/Caption ). Mostly they're images related to newsworthy events, although sometimes they're just silly pictures.

I decided I was going to use those images for a year-in-review kind of thing.

At first I was going to post all the images on DU. Then I started going through the archive and found there was just too many good stories and I didn't want to not include something since it was going to be more of a memorybook than a top ten images deal.

So, I finally decided to pick images from newsworthy events, post it on the wiki, then link it here for all to see!

I made it dial-up friendly by using thumbnails, which I divided between 10 pages (no more than 40 thumbnails on each page; there are 392 images in all). There is also a way for them to be viewed on one single page.

Enjoy.

3. That was great. So many reminders of wonderful (and some tragic) events

of the last year. Thank you. I bookmarked it because it took me about 20 minutes to get through less than a third of them.

10. You're welcome, share it with your friends! n/t

4. I love how * is constantly refered to

as Dumbass in the captions. :)

5. And then of course there's "Benny the Rat".

[ColbertWatcher]

12. That's not his real name!? Huh, I always thought that was his real name! n/t

[ColbertWatcher]

11. Well ...

... I was originally going to just post the pictures on DU, but there were so many the only way I figured for me to share them would have been to post it on the wiki. And, since the wiki is a Stephen Colbert wiki, where Dumbass is usually referred to as "The Greatest President Ever" I guess I just plumb forgot to change it!

15. I know I missed a few stories, but I think I hit all the high marks for the U.S. anyway.

And it was all worth it!

16. this has been some year. this is one picture never to be forgotten.

[ColbertWatcher]

17. I think you're right.

The part that amazes me the most is how so many people--from all around the world--have adopted it as a form of protest!

I wonder if al-Zaidi even knows what he's started?

[lonestarnot]

18. Thanks CW great job!

Even though it's the worst year ever and I would prefer to never think of it again! :evilgrin: K & R

[ColbertWatcher]

19. You're welcome.

It was a lot of tedious work, but well worth all the eye strain!
