Randy Cassingham's Bonzer Web Sites of the Week: Recognizing Interesting Sites that are Beyond the Microsoft/AOL-Time Warner/Media Megalith

Fail Blog

FAIL. First it was a word, then an Internet meme, and now it is a web site. On Fail Blog, ordinary mistakes and oversights are not enough. No, to earn the capital FAIL, you have to show a fundamental and disturbing lack of understanding of what you are trying to do. And of course, you have to do it publicly enough the blogosphere gets its hands on it. From unintentionally bizarre signs, to the out of touch trying to be hip, to "Hold my beer and watch this!", Fail Blog has everything you need to feel a little better about your own, more mundane missteps.

The Darwin Awards: Felonious Failures
by Wendy Northcutt
Amazon Price: $4.95
Customer Review: I bought this as a gift, and failed to notice that it was a miniature book! It was plainly written in the details, I just didn't pay enough attention. The book itself is hilarious. A good addition to the Darwin Awards collection.
 
The Darwin Awards Boxed Set (1-3)
by Wendy Northcutt
Amazon Price: $25.08
Customer Review: Die stupidly (& funny) or lose your reproductive organs & you win the award & join the club thus saving the world from your stupid genes. But the book then goes astray. Creating honorable mentions that are indeed funny but the victims live to breed ...
