A: We are and we're not. I tell people we're Web 3.0. We've accidentally stumbled on the next step in the evolution of social networking, which I call "editing." It's a novel concept.
OWWWW! It burns! Makes it stop please. It burnes the Warrenses.

I thought everything on Fark came down to "I'D HIT IT" jokes, but maybe that was just a few years ago.

"everything devolves into racism and dick jokes."
I get that feeling sometimes reading the H&R comments, but it passes.

Curtis has fallen victim to the Media Sucks Paradox: he complains that the media doesn't cover the "real issues", but the "real issues" consist of stuff he learned from the media.

Mary (somebody) is on Fox Across America (Sirius) right now, talking about the 1.5 bil GWB is sending to Mexico to help fight the useless drug war. She thinks the WoD is unwinnable, a waste of money, and stupid. She endorses legalizing them, thereby reducing crime, then taxing them, and she is taking calls. Listen live below.

@Dan T.: Drew knows exactly what he is and is doing. He has absolutely no pretenses about it.

Minion of URKOBOLD-
What do you have against black people? Or do you just wish you were better hung?

Also, America sucks. Any country that allows a website like merkinworld.com to flourish, or even exist, is certainly a Great Satan.

JUST YOU WATCH IT, MR. CARNIFEX, OR ELSE YOU'LL BE HOOKED UP WITH KATHY LEE AGAIN!

I've always dreamt of a major presidential candidate just cussing a blue streak during a debate. Something to really put the FCC in a difficult position.

THAT DOES NOT MATTER. SOON YOU WILL BE DOING IT AGAIN. AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN.

They flew me out to Atlanta to talk to the president and gave me a stern talking to. I can't have conversations with you guys. I apologize, sorry about your luck."
Wow...WOW! I may have to take back some of what I say about corporate influence of politics being overblown.

I usually visit FARK for the "Foobies" section. Now I learn they have links to articles, too! Huh.
"Foobies," Matt Drudge. You could learn something from Drew Curtis, although rumor has it you're not really into foobies.
