Post by: slink on December 01, 2004, 02:05:07 pm

Just ended up at this page before.
Well, it's all explained at the top - essentially they were letting people on the internet post business closure announcements, and there was a way to get round it being reviewed before being shown.

The finest has to be Cecil's Cockring Emporium.

While I'm here, I'll throw this link at you too.

Okay, I'll admit that there were a few I didn't get why they were funny.

I guess I'm not "l33t" enough.

Well yea. If I were to link to any of them, like I say it would be Cecil's. The rest of them... A bit lame really.

Are some of these even jokes?

I love how it walks the line between "blatantly stupid obvious" and "'humor' so 'subtle' I cannot tell if this is an actual business or not."

Well, see, what amused me most was just the fact that they allowed this to be possible. I mean, if I worked for a network, the first thing I'd make sure is that not just anyone can put anything they want on the screen. Seems to make sense to me! It was the pure stupidity that filled me with glee.

She's just confused that the precision cast doesn't seem very precise. More like giraffeer Price cast.
