Guilty Pleasure

I love Fark.com. It is one of my favorite things in the world. I literally hurry to check it out every morning. Not only does it have breaking news, before I could find it anywhere else, but it has hilarious headliines for the links. This is how it works. People submit links to Fark, they can be for news stories or interesting websites, and when they submit the ad, they choose a tag and a headline for the link. Tags can be Ironic, Sad, Breaking News, Sick, Amusing, Interesting, Scary, among others, even Florida has its own tag. There are tags for gratuitous nudity named Boobies and Weeners. The headlines people submit often make me laugh out loud. Some examples:

Scientists discover two new species of lemur in
Madagascar. Originally thought they had three, but it was just Ryan Seacrest on
vacation

Red-headed women feel less pain. Researchers also confirm
fat-bottomed women still make the rockin' world go round

Hallmark finally relieved to finally have a customer for their unique "Sorry I
accidentally stabbed you" get-well soon cards

Evading the police during a chase: Cool.
Being arrested by the dogcatcher: Priceless

NASA prepares latest Mars orbiter for launch, hopes to someday return Courtney Love to her home planet.

Oliver Stone pleads no contest to being Oliver Stoned,
claims grassy knoll source of trouble


Fark is definitely my choice for my desert island website. Now I realize that you would think that if I were on a desert island and could only access one website, I would choose something that could get me rescued, but nope. I like Fark that much. So check it out. You'll laugh. And you'll thank me.
