- The Adventures of Dr.
McNinja (In the tradition of revisionist,
postmodern, deconstructed animated characters (we ain't talking Scooby Doo here) comes Dr.
McNinja, a comic strip hero who can kick and medically treat ass, all within a few
panels..)
- Apple's Get a Mac
Ads (Even the staunchest Windows supporter has to admit the new "Get a Mac"
ads are pretty funny and contain at least a grain of truth. Twelve in all, they boast
production values more suitable for YouTube and star John Hodgman of "The Daily
Show" and Justin Long from "Ed.")
- Chad Vader: Day
Shift Manager
- The Ex-Girlfriend
Project
- Odd
Todd (Highly creative page. Cartoons featuring the trials and
tribulations of a someone laid off in the tech industry.)
- Gullible Info
- The
Onion (Billed as "America's
Finest News Source". Check it out and decide for yourself.)
- AdFlip.com (Billing itself as the "largest archive of
classic print ads," Adflip hits the online trifecta: clean design, fun attitude, and
great content.)
- PopPolitics.Com (Covers the blurry intersection of politics
and popular culture. Ambitious and high-minded, the magazine's mission is to straddle the
line between candidates and celebrities, electoral politics and ad-sponsored
entertainment, old-guard media and online upstarts. )
- Brain of Brian
(Comical quotes, entertaining games, funny philosophies, adlibs, top 10 lists, useless
facts, etc.)
- LaughNet Home Page
- The Tonight Show
- The Darwin Awards
- BBC News
Monty Python Page
- Atari Age
- Snafu University
- Clientcopia
- OEDILF (The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form. There
once was a site that attempted--for each word and nothing exempted--a limerick using a
term of your choosing how brilliant--or maybe demented. )
- Boing Boing (This is an
ongoing web blog that has daily postings about life in general. You'll be amazed,
fascinated, and surprised at all the items of interested that are posted to this site.)
- Now Not Starring.... (Ever wonder what "Some Like It Hot" would have been
like with Mitzi Gaynor instead of Marilyn Monroe? Yeah, neither did we. But that doesn't
mean you can't waste countless hours mousing through this catalogue of movie stars and the
roles they turned down, auditioned for, got fired from, or didn't get.)
- Huh? Corp (Does anyone really know what they're doing? At Huh Corp,
not only are they clueless about business, they come out and say so. This parody site
riffs on corporate America's obsession with nonsensical buzz words by giving visitors a
fake consulting company that dares to tell the truth. Huh Corp's strategy: "Convince
clients that we do stuff they can't do themselves.")

- BBC America
- Joost
- Crawdaddy
Magazine (Paul Williams started publishing
reviews of rock music on a mimeographed sheet he called "Crawdaddy!" Widely
regarded as the first magazine of rock criticism, the journal played on in various
incarnations until ceasing publication in 2003. Now, after a four-year hiatus, Crawdaddy's
back, and the Web's got it. Whether you twisted to Chubby Checker, slam-danced to the Sex
Pistols, or just jerked up and down to Nirvana, you'll find a whole lot of Rock 'n' Roll
to interest you here.)
- All Time
100 Albums (Naming the all-time greatest
albums is always a dangerous proposition. Countless road trips, office friendships, and
family holidays have been ruined by an unfortunate walk down this path. Inviting endless
argument, TIME has bravely stepped up and declared its musical picks by decade.)
- YouTube (Founded in February 2005, YouTube is a consumer media company for people to watch
and share original videos worldwide through a Web experience. Founded by early commerce
pioneers of PayPal, YouTube allows people to easily upload, tag, and share personal video
clips.)
- ManiaTV.com (What happens when you take the medium of traditional
Television Broadcasting and combine it with the much less traditional medium of the
Internet? Well, you'll probably end up with a television set for the new millennium,
you'll definitely end up with something new and edgy, and you're going to end up here at
ManiaTV! )

- Racerchicks ("Racerchicks" are the women out there that choose to live
their dream. They may be your mother, sister, aunt or friend...but one thing is for sure,
they are mentors to all young girls out there. Whether they race open wheel or sedans,
four wheels or two, we cheer them on!)
- Arsenal America (Arsenal America was born in August of 2001 after several
Arsenal fans wondered aloud if there was a supporters' club for Arsenal FC in the United
States. After some checking around it became evident that there wasn't one. A few days
later the idea of Arsenal America was born. Site features news, rumors and information for
Arsenal fans.)

Baseball Classic (The World Baseball
Classic is a baseball event that will feature many of the best players in the world
competing for their home countries and territories for the first time ever. This
tournament will give fans around the world a chance to see baseball in an exciting and
compelling new format.)
- Sports Illustrated Photo Gallery (For years, the
crack team of photographers at Sports Illustrated has crouched courtside, hovered in the
bleachers, and wallowed in the mud to bring us image after image of professional athletes
knocking themselves -- and each other -- out in the pursuit of victory. Gathered in
picture galleries that cover events from the Breeders' Cup to the World Cup, these photos
capture the joy, the excitement, and the violence of sports.)
- Sports:
Breaking Records, Breaking Barriers (Portrays
athletes, focusing on their participation in significant events and the social contexts
that influenced them. On and off the playing field, these undaunted individuals broke
records for themselves and broke barriers for us all. They are the inspiration for future
generations who will challenge the barriers that remain.)

"revolution in sports journalism," the site gives fans with a keyboard and
Internet connection the chance to turn their ardor into articles. From the dried-up Lakers

freaks to cry, moan, and rage.)

- Gas Price Watch
- Golden Age of Comics Archive
(What
started as a silly undergraduate fling has blossomed into an enduring love. Your host
Jenny Miller buys old romance comics on a certain online auction site and scans them for
all the world to see. Ubiquitous after the Second World War, these passionate tales were
effectively killed off by the dreaded Comics Code of 1954 -- which is a shame, because
this stuff is pure gold.)

NYC's many pizzerias, it boasts numerous entries on the subject of one of America's
