Cracking the Surface

Ice on Lake Baikal is a very interesting phenomenon, writes Your Shot member Alexey Trofimov. Ice ridges, cracks, tears, hugging. All this creates unique and fantastic stories. Trofimov spends a few months a year photographing landscapes at the lakethe worlds deepest and oldestin southeastern Siberia. On this trip, he hoped to make an unusual picture of the ice, showing elements not normally visible. When one morning brought a strong frost and wind, which created unusual patterns in the cracks, Trofimov had only to wait for sunrise to make this picture.

Double Trouble
Photograph by Danielle Mussman, National Geographic Your Shot
Ethel the Great Dane attempts the impossible on a spring day in northern Kentucky. I am constantly drawn to her eternal optimism in attempting to catch balls thrown her way, only to be defeated by her gangly legs and just-a-beat-off timing, writes Your Shot member Danielle Mussman. Ultimately, the photos of her missing the ball are always more amusing than those of her finally succeeding in catching it. Mussmans husband thought he might improve the odds by slowly tossing two balls in Ethels direction. The result? writes Mussman. Double the confusion, double the frustration, and double the treats for our sweet girl who never gives up.

Apology of the Day: Bud Light Sorry for Telling People to Remove ‘No’ From Their Vocabulary
DrakkuleaLembra algo?
Bud Light was forced to apologize – yet again – for their “Up for Whatever” marketing campaign this week, after their beer bottle slogans caused a bit of an uproar online.
The above image was posted to Imgur/Reddit on Monday, showing a label that said: “The perfect beer for removing ‘No’ from your vocabulary for the night.”
While the company supposedly had good intentions here, people were quick to notice how this could very easily be misinterpreted.
“Sounds a lil rapey,” writes one commenter on Imgur.
Another pointed out the perils of drunk driving.
“Are you ok to drive?”
“N…nnnn…NNNNN! Aww f*ck it yeah I’m good”
The bottle campaign launched last December, with more than 47 different messages on the labels “intended to inspire spontaneous fun.”
The spontaneous fun has now taken the form of Tweets and comments on Reddit poking fun at the poorly thought out campaign.
Back in March, Anheuser-Busch had to apologize for encouraging people to pinch strangers on St. Patrick’s Day, and now they’ve responded with a similar statement about they “missed the mark.”
The Bud Light Up for Whatever campaign, now in its second year, has inspired millions of consumers to engage with our brand in a positive and light-hearted way. In this spirit, we created more than 140 different scroll messages intended to encourage spontaneous fun. It’s clear that this message missed the mark, and we regret it. We would never condone disrespectful or irresponsible behavior.
Of course, the damage had already been done, and the Internet let them know how they feel about it.
Here is a taste of some of the mockery on Twitter:
