Fark

For my second OC post, I would like to acquaint you with Fark.com.

http://www.fark.com/

This site was founded by a guy named Drew Curtis, and is dedicated to how mass media tries to pass off crap as news. The premise of the site is simple: people find dumb/weird news stories, post links to them, and other people comment. It really is lots of fun, and definitely good for a giggle if you're bored during free block or something. The stories can be pretty unbelievable sometimes, and reading the comments can be really amusing as well.

Some of the better recent headlines on Fark:
"Man stopped for driving while on cell phone; actually gets away in court with "I was only using it to warm my ear" excuse."

"Apparently, answering the door naked and punching an 11-year old in the head is not the proper response when the kid rings the doorbell soliciting donations for a fundraiser. Who knew?"

"Behold the Holy Laser Cannon of Galilee."

Someof the articles really are relevant news, too. It's a good way to stay on top of current events, but it's an even better way to waste time.
