A Call to Extremely Little Action
I don't really recommend that you play MSN's Outsmart Sisqo; but I wanted to draw your attention to it, as it may represent the nadir of the Infotainment Industry, the bottom of the e-barrel, the Platonic Down to which the expression "dumbing down" refers, the Absolute Zero of cyber-crap.
In fact, I challenge you, dear reader, to send me, should you know of any contenders, the locations of any web sites you feel embody a more righteous claim to the title, and your reasons for privileging its achievements above the Truly and Completely Stupid Thing that is the aformentioned feature. The bar, I realize, is high: let's bring out the totally, wincingly, dreadfully moronic.
Note that I'm not talking about sites using broken English, or incoherent personal sites (Hello, Pot? This is Kettle -- you're black!), or insane conspiracy theorists, or things with technology that doesn't work well. I'm talking about the almost calculated affronts -- the Suddenly Susans of the Web: the products of much time, effort and money, toward an end which reveals itself to be simultaneously insultingly and laughably brain-dead.
Let's get to it.
