Be Horrible www.behorrible.com
Solving arguments with tact and maturity is great, but when
you’ve been stabbed in the back by an acquaintance, revenge
is always sweeter. Facilitating this vengeance is
www.behorrible.com, a Web site that lets users get back at their
enemies by posting the most embarrassing and shocking photographs
of them on the site. Adding to the humiliation of the photos is a
personal message that revenge seekers are allowed to post along
with the photograph. The premise of www.behorrible.com sounds
interesting and seems to promise endless amounts of fun through
blackmail with photographs. Users, however, quickly realize that
these photos are only funny or embarrassing for the people who
posted them and who appear in them. There are a few exceptions,
such as a photo featuring a woman sitting and unknowingly flashing
her underwear to the camera. The woman in the picture, however,
doesn’t look like a horrible person who deserves such
treatment. Further, most of the photos on the site don’t look
as if they were posted with vengeance in mind. It appears more
likely that people just thought it would be cool to post
embarrassing pictures of their friends. The site does have
potential though. The posting process is free and seems simple, and
if some more serious entries are posted, www.behorrible.com just
may work.

I Love Bacon www.ilovebacon.com
Though vegetarians may not be pleased by the pro-meat-eating Web
site www.ilovebacon. com, their funny bone will undoubtedly be
tickled by it. Containing an endless amount of humorous drawings,
photographs and jokes, the site provides Web users with enough
laughter to burn off the calories in 10 greasy cheeseburgers. The
site is easy to navigate. A listing of some exceptionally funny
pictures and jokes can be found along the side of the page no
matter what section users are in. With daily updates,
www.ilovebacon.com places its newest content directly on its home
page, making it more than easy for even the least technologically
advanced person to access the laughter. The site is well worth a
visit as users will get more than an average slice of comedy. The
site goes above and beyond the call of humor, not just providing
funny pictures and jokes, but also supporting its own advice column
as well as a wide variety of amusing games. One such game involves
earning points by performing various dares in the user’s work
place. A range of embarrassing dares are provided, each with a
different point range. They include such acts as drinking directly
from the nozzle of the water cooler and sprinting around the office
screaming. While some of the site’s photos and politically
incorrect jokes are only appropriate for mature adults,
www.ilovebacon.com proves to be the perfect rest stop for students
who need a break from studying.
