The kind of thing that makes me hoot with laughter: Spamusement: one-panel comics drawn to fit real spam subject lines.

(some of them NSFW, possibly. My favorite though, is, and is the one at the top of the list: HELLO ME NOT DEAD! You just have to click on it to see what the guy came up with).

The comics are described as "poorly drawn" but that's part of their charm. And the expressions the artist gets on some of his stick figures are really great ("Online ordering is the greatest")

I also learned something this afternoon. Did you know you can buy, ummm...how do I word this?...large prosthetic male gonads to attach to the trailer hitch of your truck? I was driving home and I saw something and said, "why does he have two wal-mart bags attached there...oh, wait, those aren't wal-mart bags.....are those actually supposed to represent....?"

But apparently it's a for real thing that some people do*

I mean, I've seen compensating-for-things, but this is ridiculous < /grouchomarxvoice >
