There are a few spectacular photoblogs out there that evoke emotion through fantastic imagery. Fictional 'The Office' character Ryan Howard's monochrome mockumentary style photoblog called 'Thousand and One Words' isn't one of those, but it is a quirky, pretentious look at life.

I think that the idea of a fictional character even having a photoblog is pretty funny. And although the 'Thousand and One Words' photos themselves don't evoke much emotion, the quirky captions are hilarious.

**Implications** - PROFESSIONAL TONE AND THE FIRST SENTENCE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

The mockumentary style of the popular television show is complimented by this viral campaign that many perceive as pretentious, yet is so hilarious, nobody seems to care. The photoblog is quirky, fun, and promises hours of shameless entertainment for the bored net surfer looking for a good laugh.
