Ain't It Cool News

This is a website that is entirely dedicated to rumors and reviews of upcoming and currently playing movies and television projects, with an emphasis on sci-fi, fantasy, horror, action, and comic-book related genres. In other words, this website is entirely dedicated to every geek, nerd and dork in the universe.

Luke Barats and Joe Bereta are a comedy duo that have made short video clips with hilarious content. Do yourself a favour and watch So Smooth, Cubicle War, and MANtage.

Dave Barry's Column at the Miami Herald
http://www.miamiherald.com/dave_barry/

Dave Barry is a Pulitzer Prize winning author and journalist who has been at The Miami Herald since 1983. He writes about issues ranging from the international economy to exploding toilets. He had written dozens of books including the famed Complete Guide to Guys.

Free Online Games
http://www.freeonlinegames.com

It's exactly what the title says. Here you can play thousands of games, online, for free using your keyboard and/or mouse. My personal favourites at the moment are Curse Village and Desolate Defence.

Hammacher Schlemmer
http://www.hammacher.com

Aside from being very difficult to pronounce, Hammacher Schlemmer has been "offering the best, the only, and the unexpected for 161 years". I have personally ordered The Wind Defying Umbrella, The Best Commuter Cup, and The 10 Day Lantern.

Retro Junk
http://www.retrojunk.com

This website allows those of us who grew up in the 70's, 80's, or 90's to relive our childhoods by looking back at the movies, television shows, commercials, and people that defined those generations.

The Onion
http://www.theonion.com

Most of you are probably already familiar with this website. They market themselves as 'America's Finest News Source', but of course, the stories are all fabricated, but nonetheless, hilarious. Sample news story - "Mexico Builds Border Wall To Keep Out US Assholes".

The Soup
http://ca.eonline.com/videos/index_old.jsp?franchise=the_soup

The Soup is a television show hosted by Joel McHale that airs every Friday on E!. The host sets up clips and comments on them. One of my favourite shows.
