Good lenses, bad frames

Describing someone who gives a bad first impression but is actually a good person. Someone who doesn't appear to be competent, yet is extremely capable at what he/she does.
Dr. Bruce is a spaz, but he's one of the best doctors I know. You wouldn't know it by looking at him...good lenses, bad frames.

15 frames of fame

"Everyone gets 15 minutes of fame." 
-Andy Warhol

Derived from the quote of Andy Warhol, this term is directed to reality tv or YouTube type "celebrities" who gain recognition and publicity from their (often accidental) video submissions. The use of the word 'frames' is an allusion to the frame speed of video cameras, where 30 frames per second or 24 frames per second is standard speed for consumer/prosumer cameras, thus 15 frames of fame would equal half a second of fame.
Jason uploaded a video of his terrier "Murf". The video was recorded as the dog was eating cat poop from the litter box. Jason then yelled at the dog and it instantly took a dump in said litter box... then sniffed its own poop but was offended by the smell. Within days Jason's video went viral. His 15 frames of fame.
The buzz died and Jason was terrified his celebrity was at an end. He made many, many attempts to train his dog to do a multitude of things with cat poop but alas the dog proved it was a one trick phony. Murf only ate shit.

the frames

a band from ireland.
they have written gems like "revelate" "the stars are underground" and "what happens when the heart just stops"
My simple slant
My broken chant
My human fate
My revelate
Are you so far from me this day
That you can't say my revelate

My open arms
My lucky charm
Number eight my revelate
I fucked it up
I rest my case
It all to grey
My revelate

Sometimes I need a revelation
Cause sometimes it's all too hard to take
Sometimes I need a revelation
This time I'm making my own now
Does this mean we're though
Does this mean it's gone
Spent a day just to ponder the words
That I would write to you this day
But it's too great, my revelate

Sometimes I need a revelation
Sometimes its all too much to take
Sometimes I need a revelation
This time it's up in arms
This time I need you revelation

Cause sometimes it's all too much to take
This time I need you revelation
Cause sometimes it's easy just to hate you
Sometimes I need a revelation
