In these heady days of Web 2.0, it's hard for a gal to stay abreast of what her fellow humans have been up to on the internet. So many different blogs to read, virtual communities to drop in on, social networks to tap. What if there was a one-stop shop for all of my internet needs?
Don't thank me yet, but I've discovered a few easy ways of catching up on the internet, which might prove useful to those like me who need a quaint little executive summary of this big ol' internet every now and again.
Stupid Comment Randomizer - Thanks to the folks over at stupidfilter.org, I can now catch up on the best YouTube comments in one place. If it weren't for the SCR, I would have totally missed these gems:
OMG OMG! best thought to make a video wit it!adds to favss i love ittttttttttttttt
You just dancing is sexy as hell! You should be bored more often, cuz you make some sexy azz videos! This video would be perfect if you also danced from the front too. Keep doin ya thing ma! Even though its just from da back its still a sexy azz video, sweetie!
hahahahahahlololoololoL DAT WAS FUNNY! DA 1ST PART HAD ME R0LLIN![HAHAHA A BACKACHE]
hey you're fairly hot...too bad your too dumb and we could never mate, you would bastardized my genes.
LiveJournal Random Image Generator - Keep refreshing the page to get the latest pix uploaded to LiveJournal (some may be NSFW). Amazing, just check out what I found:
Big thanks to Marcus and Andy for vastly improving my internet experiences.
OMG!LOLOLOL!!!!!!!LMFAO!!!

or just go to http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo

Someone should do a mashup of the livejournal image scraper with the stupidfilter. It would be the perfect artificially unintelligent website.

This is my favorite stupid comment so far. Its lovely out of context...
you see the production site not the finished site that is planted with trees and reseeded. but go ahead you mindless lemur follow the drums off the cliff and have no mind for yourself. i have seen the reclaimed land everyday i see the dear and rabbits that forage thru it. u see what this video shows you just a part of it. just the process of removing the coal. not the process of reclamation.

Okay, this Livejournal image generator is amazing.
This photo includes an explanation of why the poster does not draw anime:

And this is an animated gif of the Soviet version of Winnie the Pooh:

"i would like to say well done.. but really give that machine to a baby and they will produce something similar"
This SCR might be my new favorite past time at the office.

Hey wait a minute these aren't computer generated. I call bullshit, it's just a scraper.
It is appropriate that a dummbed down Postmodernism Generator uses dumbed down programming.
Yay for postmodernism, victory!!

Hey Bartleby! go ahead you mindless lemur follow the drums off the cliff.
Its my new put down from the post above. Sorry I had to use it on you but I couldn't resist.
still trying to visualize a lemur following a drum anywhere. Derrida would be proud.

If you are that jealous, believe me, you are mistaken.
Posted by: bartleby | October 15, 2007 at 03:18 PM
Cheese Louise, this is like looking at the family photo album and your sisters scrapbook at the same time. A finger and a camera does not equal [I was going to say endless life, but today, for better or worse it does] a great photo, or even one that needs to be seen.
Some one hit wonders....but, what a load o' crap!!!!
Posted by: Dave K. | October 15, 2007 at 07:06 PM
I don't know if Brandon is actually insulting me or being jovial, not only that but I think the author of the statement he quotes actually means lemmming, not lemur (certainly not lemure). Even so lemmings don't follow drums, so mixed metaphors, factual inaccuracy and lack of clarity, postmodernism is going from victory to victory, yay!! Boolean logic, feh.

Here's another livejournal photo scraper: http://fuzzysquid.com/LJ.php

I think Tinypic new images are a lot better. They aren't made to last.
http://tinypic.com/images.php
Then click on images "latest".

If the random comments generator is so random, how come most of the comments are from "gabe" and "djsparkydog"?
Posted by: vmh | October 17, 2007 at 04:50 AM
vmh, "gabe" and "djsparkydog" appear to be moderators of the Stupid Comment Generator and not actually You Tube commenters themselves. These folks pull out dumb comments from You Tube and rate them according to their relative moronic value.

sorry Bartelby, I was indeed being fatuous. I just wanted to use said phrase...
Posted by: Brandon | October 17, 2007 at 12:35 PM
It's cool. I must confess a weakness for lists of search strings that people use.
