Bombed in Boston

www.dyewell.com/saveboston

The folks over at Dyewell.com decided to base this Flash-based version of whack-a-mole on Boston's new claim to shame—the Great Mooninite Invasion of 2007. Can you click on the Mooninites quickly and accurately enough to save Beantown? OK, as a game it sucks, but as 35 seconds of distraction at the expense of funny-accented East-coasters it's aces. As I have ADHD, I can usually only stay with a site for about 30 seconds before something else bright and shiny distracts me anyway, so that level of diversion is enough to merit a thumbs up.

Thanks for the MaMmeries

Plagued by Cooper's Droop? Prefer going au naturale to binding those puppies up with a bra? Well, then you need Liftits. Liftits are an adhesive patch you apply to the top of the breast to 're-perkify' sagging titties. ( Lift tits, get it? ) I'm not describing the process too well, but, fortunately, the website has a wonderful video that shows how they are applied, and the amazing effect they give. If you're cheap, I suppose you could accomplish the same thing with duct tape, but grrrl, that'll hurt when you take it off. And guys, lest you think that Liftits is for women only, take a gander at the next entry below before you judge.

Thanks for the Manmeries

There are photo collections of just about everything online. Here is one dedicated to what I like call 'manmeries', or as they're more commonly called, 'manboobs.' ( See, Liftits ain't just for the ladies. ) The site currently has about 20 pages of pics ( about 100 pair ) of manboobs on display. Sadly, none of them are of the most famous manboobs of all time, notorious killer Richard Speck's amazing tatas. That bodacious set forced caused news channels to actually pixelate them when they showed the videos on TV. Now those were manboobs, baby!

Relax it's a joke

The problem with fundies is they are so freakin' ridiculous that's it's hard to tell when someone is making fun of them. No matter how over the top a parodist is, there is some Jesus-nutjob out there that actually thinks that way. These ex-gay parody sites are an attempt to wrest the phrase 'God Hates Fags' away from the Westboro Baptist Church in Google search results. So far so good; they've climbed up to number two.
