Funny but mostly true map of online communities

May 2nd, 2007 • funny, parody, web

So XKCD has released another hilarious yet true comic. This time, he drew a pretty good representation of online communities as a map. I do like how something like Digg got a giant island where meme-centric communities like 4chan and 7chan (and the other million chans) are relagated to “sea of memes” even though they give almost sole inspiration to places like YTMND.

Pop parodies pop, begets laughs

April 3rd, 2007 • parody, pop music

So my only exposure to pop music these days is letting my girlfriend choose the radio station or play a CD otherwise it’s blistering death metal or dreary doom metal. But apparently, all those popsters are a bunch of fun loving folks and like to poke fun at each other. Alanis Morissette made a parody video of My Humps and it made it to BuzzFeed.

I didn’t watch the video yet but apparently it made a lot of buzz since every feed I read yesterday in my reader mentioned this more than once. I don’t particularly like Alanis nor BEP but maybe I’ll watch this just to laugh.
