Listgasms » Internet

The internet is filled with bagillions of websites and blogs. All this information makes for a great new game that we like to call, “That Can’t Exist!”

Here’s how the game is played:

- Player one thinks of a topic.

- Player two has to think of the most ridiculous website that could be associated with Player 1’s topic.

- Player 1 runs a search to see if anything exists on the internets.

- If a website exists Player 2 gets a point, however the game always ends with both players winning.

Here are some of our more recent finds. You may have come across these web gems before but who cares, everyone always deserves a reminder:

Search String 1: Obama + The Devil

Result: www.barackobamaantichrist.blogspot.com
Reflection: Basically, this proves our point that if you can think of a topic, chances are more than good that a site already exists. What is even more impressive about this site is the sheer dedication this man/woman/fanatic puts into finding actual content for the blog. People be warned: consumption of Obama juice may lead to negative side affects (i.e., inadvertently joining a cult, following a deathly trend, or being hopelessly audacious.)

Search String 2: Police + Hot

Result: www.hottcops.blogspot.com
Reflection: Does this woman (we are assuming she is of the female populace) really have the term HOTT COPs (two T’s) trademarked? Probably! The blog is fantastic. This lady has screen shots of hot cops on TV and she’s backs up her photo snatching skills with well documented information that only an ex-girlfriend stalker could hope to obtain. We have all heard of Firemen fetishes, but who knew someone actually liked a COP?

Search String 3: Black Child Names

Result: www.blackpeopleloveus.com
Reflection: And you thought you were getting names like Jayylyyn (pronounced Jaylin), Jazzmen (pronounced Jasmine), or Gerhome (pronounced Jerome), nope, sorry. This result falls into the category where both players win. This site is actually older than we thought, but that still doesn’t effect the humor factor (Off the charts).

Search String 4: Marry + Daughter

Result: www.marryourdaughter.com
Reflection: Awesome because of the two main ingredients: Purpose and Appropriateness. Our Filipino friend was very disappointed to find out this site was fake, but it’s not like was saving his Nike money or anything…

Search String 5: America + Guns

Result: www.armedamerica.org
Reflection: This site has been making the rounds and we are definitely considering picking this coffee table book up out of the “free bin” at the local library in about 9 months.

Search String 6: Hot Chicks + Idiots

Result: www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com
Reflection: If you have not been one of the millions to visit this site in the last year then your 56k dial up might be to blame. This site is fantastic for men who seek to spend more time grooming themselves than that of the average female socialite. Johnny Guido, Bobby Brosaffah, and Mark McGrath all approve of this web gem!

Search String 7: White People + Stuff

Result: www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com

Reflection: We love everything about this site because it is based on empirical evidence. The topics are great but the writing is even more superb. We are waiting the following topics to appear: Taxidermy, Ergonomic Furniture, Factory Outlets, RVs, and Helmets (but only because white people are so extreme).

Search String 8: Bouncer + Blog (no picture)

Result: www.diaryofadoorman.com

Reflection: This site reminds us all that bouncers can do more than just hold velvet ropes and wear tight shirts (or is that a painted advertisement).

Search String 9: Retards+ Blog

Result: www.tard-blog.com

Reflection: Why are we not surprised that this site is a part of Tucker Max’s Rudius Media Network? This blog makes us smile and when we aren’t smiling we try to think of the face of retard who is dancing…and then we find our way back to smiling.

Search String 10: Cycling + Around the World (no picture)

Result: www.reecerobbins.blogspot.com

Reflection: Apparently Reece has some lofty goals and we are 100% behind him. We hope he is aware of cycling’s correlation to male impotence.

Running theme: Stereotypes

Conclusion: If it weren’t mostly true then it wouldn’t be funny.

You are welcome!

It’s hard to disagree with an ambiguous slogan like, “Because Everybody Likes Stuff…” I really can’t think of anyone who hates, dislikes, or disagrees with “stuff.”

Deputy-Dog is very similar to sites like Neatorama and BoingBoing except they like to spotlight more specific topics such as architecture, design, and “geographic oddities.” It’s a great site if you looking for a daily stop for clever blogging and great lists. The content is always suitable for work and easy to digest. We highly recommend checking out some of their best lists here.

We know that a lot of the lists on the listgasm front page are usually business related or completely random and that’s because these are ranked by the most frequent users of the site.

This post is your casual reminder to check out the various other categories located on the right side of the home page. Here is a screen shot of some of Technology lists we have in the directory!

See that? Proof we are doing more than just directing traffic to Forbes, Cracked, or Business Week!

Listgasm…get your learn on!

Listgasmers,

Good news… We are now in the open beta release of LISTGASM dot com !

You no longer need to be logged into your user-account in order to view the lists or the blog (the rest of the log-in functionality remains the same.)

This means you can start to spread by telling every man, woman, and child that Listgasm is the new internet hottness.

A huge thanks goes out our 120 private beta users and their feedback! We are still moving forward with tons of new improvements so look for more to come in the coming week!

Happy Listgasming in 2008.

PC World recently released what they thought were the 10 Funniest Sites on the Internet. The lists does contain a few gems such as Engrish, FoundMagazine, and Overheard in New York but overall I think PC world was a bit sloppy in their research. I would have enjoyed their list much more if it included these bits of hilarity:

• Marry Our Daughter - for those who need it.
• NiggaSpace - to prove your stupidity or brag about your street cred.
• The Brick Testament - for all those lego bible thumpers
  
• The Best Page in the Universe - because it is.

How can you title a list “The funniest sites on the net” and not put Maddox on it? He has consistently had the best site on the net since 1998. I would go so far as to even say that he was the internet’s first real blogger, and you know Maddox don’t fool around with no typepad or wordpress bullshit either.

I have to admit, I did expect more from PC World because they have provided some great lists in the past.

You are welcome.

“Thanks NiggaSpace.com!”

Mental Floss is great because they always throw together informative lists that are short and sweet. Whereas some sites attempt to tackle the Top 100, 50, or 25 about a given subject, Mental Floss likes to settle for topics with usually 8 entries or less.

Is this because they dislike due diligence? No, it’s because they know you only can read through the first 3 entries of any list before you have to ALT-TAB, so your co-workers don’t catch you trollin’ the net.

We respect you Mental Floss for you digestible lists of useless trivia!

A few notables:

• 6 College Pranks
  
• 5 Drinking Stories That Put Yours to Shame
• 6 Horrifying Parasites
• 6 of History’s Most Awkward Public Displays of Affection

Today’s Spotlight is on WebUrbanist.com

This listgasmic site is dedicated to all things ‘urban.’ Many of WebUrbanist’s lists have climbed in popularity on sites like digg and reddit.

Web Urbanists is unlike most sites because they choose not to spotlight topics in entertainment or pop culture.

Here are 3 of our favorite lists that they have compiled.

• A Look at Urban Art in San Fransisco
• Amazing American Abandonments
• The Ultimate Urban Camouflage Collection

I love the internet. I love free things. I love Vietnamese food.

Here are 2 of the 3 I have just mentioned thanks to Business Week.

101 Best Web Freebies showcases the best free stuff the internet offers. Personally I use many of these services; skype, annualcreditreport, zillow, and google.earth.

Check out the list for all the rest. Try not to complain though when the sites on this list hiccup or do not perform up to par and remember…their service is free.

Every website has their founder’s story. Here are a few of the better ones from sites we enjoy reading/watching every day.

2Spare.com: The Story behind 10 Famous Entertainment websites. 

The thing these stories leave out is the revenue of these sites. I want to know where the gold at?

I am an uber-talk radio listener. I listen for the entertainment aspect. Why else would I enjoy Michael Savage? However the least entertaining aspect of talk radio happens to be the lousy commercials. I don’t want to hear your fake conversation around legalzoom.com, Adee Do, or your special offer for termite inspection. You are not convincing anyone.

Listening to talk radio commercials during my drive home in traffic is almost as bad as listening to a screaming baby on crowded Southwest flight, while being sandwiched between two overly obese men. Conclusion: It’s ever fun and completely dependent upon the destination.

Why all the griping? Like all things, its simple. Bud Light Real Men of Genius Commercials are the saving grace of radio station interruptions. Both talk or otherwise. These commercials are both unexpected and profound. They serve as a mixture between midgets, Mystery Science Theater, and testosterone. (in other words always funny, sarcastic, and manly). These commercials are dangerously Masculine.

Listgasm respectfully pays homage to this list/library of Bud Light’s Real Men of Genius Commercials. Now your work day has three ways to kill time: said commercials, fantasy sports, and linerider.

Please comment on your favorites. Now if only they could get me to drink cheap beer instead of smile and chuckle for 60 seconds.
