I love the video demo you can access through the "Learn More" link on this site. It's hyperbolic and pretty funny.
The overall value proposition for this site seems a lot like the classic Blue Dot model except that they reward Spankers.

A fantastic list of the top 10 movies that never got made, replete with funny descriptions of why. I have to admit, a Peter Jackson "Halo" production with Guillermo del Toro directing would have been awesome.
My favorite tid-bit? It's pretty random but I love the following quote -
Quoted: Once again, [Kevin} Smith's career was evidently set back by his insistence that he only work with actors he's had at least one drunken pillow fight with. Since this limits his choices to Lee and Ben Affleck (and we're thinking the latter would not only have ruined the franchise, but would have incited fans to pile up all the copies of the novel and hold a Nazi-style book burning) the studio is wisely developing Fletch with another writer and director.

The Morning News is doing a tournament of books with guest writers pitting two, usually completely unrelated, titles against each other. Today's guest writer was Colin Meloy. The match was funny, if not terribly insightful.
I'm really excited for the forthcoming Thomas Pynchon battle though! Bring it!
Quoted: “You’re mine, Ford!” shouted English, August from across the cage, “Your little New Jersey pastoral is going to appear quaint next to my acerbic, comic look at modern Indian life.” He spat in the sand and added, “I’m like the fucking Indian Kafka!” The crowd erupted in boos and cheers.

click to playApparently Arcade Fire concert tickets are pretty hard to come by right now. This is a funny video parodying the lengths that people will go to get a ticket.
