Dirty Gingers

I feel like Eric Cartman wrote this. I came across Dirty Gingers when doing a Google image search for Carrot Top as part of a ridiculously bad running joke a friend and I had started. The page I happened to click on with a picture of him came from this post about him. He's really scary now. But I was intrigued by the site, so I explored. Of course, I had to check out the Lindsay Lohan posts, and the one dedicated to the gingers of South Park(though some of the pics are dead). There's some really funny stuff worth reading, so check it out! And if you are in fact a ginger (or go by the name Big Red, Clifford, or something and decided to dye your hair to get away from it), just know that blondes get made fun of just as much, so you're not alone.

ad goodness

Found on Frederik Samuel's site, ad goodness promotes itself as showcasing the best and sometimes the worst [advertising and design] around the globe. I like the post about Discovery Channel's rebranding. I didn't really like the new logo until the functionality of it was pointed out to me (especially how an icon made of the globe and D can now be made). It's fun to see all the creative things done all around the world, like BMW's literal launch of a new car and the coolest flashlight ads I have ever seen. And you can't go wrong w/ a site that has Coca-Cola and the Michelin Man in the top corner!

PSFK

Do you pronounce it as an acronym? As one word? Who knows? (actually, it's an acronym for Piers and Simon (Fawkes and King)...a few guys who decided to start posting to a website instead of emailing this cool stuff back and forth to each other). Anyway, PSFK is a great blog about new trends in technology and other sectors. Just cool new things going on that they think you need to read about, too. They also publish full reports on trends and stuff, but that's irrelevant to this blog. If you know me, it's no surprise that I love this post about how Windows basically sucks at life. Keeping up with being innovative, I've decided to start offering RSS feed links to all blogs I post about which support them from here on out. So here's the first:

Dark Roasted Blend

I'm not a coffee drinker. But, I do enjoy Dark Roasted Blend. "Looking for weird and wonderful things to complement your daily coffee ritual?" asks the page. Well, as much as I like Neatorama and Presurfer, I found another fun site with random stuff to entertain me. These cars are pretty cool. These pictures are pretty funny, too. I like the stamp one! Check it out!

The Presurfer

"A weblog about the weird, unusual, funny, strange and informative sites that can be found on the Internet." That's straight from The Presurfer. Done by a guy named Gerard Vlemmings from the Netherlands. Pretty good English, might I add. I'm kinda upset about one post. I'd had an idea like this for awhile...looks like someone beat me to it. And this may be one of the funniest examples of viral marketing ever! Almost makes me want to go to Iceland! Almost! Anyway, check this blog out!

Copyranter

Wow. What made this guy so angry? Who pissed him off? He literally hates everything and everyone - just read his profile on the left. But he's got a lot of good info on here - lots of interesting campaigns and stuff. Great opinion pieces on agencies (linked to other stuff he's done) and the like. Witty banter is amusing (maybe cuz he's a copy writer?). Everything gets a nice laugh. Anyway, check it out!
