Blogs, Memes and Fails: Web sites you should be following

Those blogs. The ones you see linked, e-mailed to you, funny posts printed off around the office. These are those blogs that you will want to know about for the watercooler talk:


**UPDATE** The following blogs are user suggestions, sent in via Twitter and that old dinosaur, e-mail:


Oddee - http://oddee.com/
A blog on the oddest, bizarre things around. Think of Ripley's Believe It Or Not, but with less Dean Cain.

haha.nu - http://haha.nu/
It's kind of like a Lifehacker type-magazine, but, more blog-y. It's got some cool, unique content, well worth checking out. (Thanks, @namtrok, for these suggestions!)

RandomCreepyGuy - http://www.randomcreepyguy.com/
A blog dedicated to those terrible, creepy photobombers, the random creepy guy who winds up being the central focus of your photographed. (Thanks to the blog's founder for the suggestion)

FAIL Blog - http://failblog.org/
One of the most recognizable blogs out there, this web site is full of failures and disappointments that will make you smile.

Probably Bad News - http://probablybadnews.com/
Whether it's a sloppy copy editor's mistake or trying to fill a newspaper with enough news to send off to the printers, the information industry makes mistakes. Big, big mistakes. If you bookmark this site, you can go to bed before Jay Leno does his "Headlines" skit. (And who doesn't want to go to bed at 10 p.m.?)

People of Wal-Mart - http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/
Since this blog has started, there have been 'concerns' that people are dressing up intentionally like the most un-self-aware people around. If so, that makes this site even more sad, that people would do all their shopping dressed like they've never seen another human before.

My Parents Were Awesome - http://myparentswereawesome.tumblr.com/
It's funny now, but someday, we'll be laughing about what we wore in 2009.

Overheard in the Newsroom - http://overheardinthenewsroom.com/
More or less like the title says, this blog is a collection of quotes submitted anonymously from newsrooms across the nation.

Angry people in local newspapers - http://apiln.blogspot.com/
Posed photos never look natural. Why get upset over a puddle on the road? To make a photo more dynamic, of course. This blog collects the best of the worst of the staged news photos.

Picture is Unrelated - http://pictureisunrelated.com/
Not necessarily FAIL-worthy, but, random and unnerving.

Oddly Specific - http://oddlyspecific.com/
Sometimes, you need to be specific when posting a sign. However, there are times when you need to tone back your exact language. Else, you wind up on this blog.

Judge a Book by its Cover - http://judgeabook.blogspot.com/
Occasionally pushing the SWF limits.... This site mocks horrible book artwork. Oh, there is some truly bad stuff out there, particularly in fantasy and romance.

Awkward Family Photos - http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/
And you thought your Christmas card was bad.

Cake Wrecks - http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/
Ever pick up a cake from the bakery and discover it's not quite what you wanted it to be? The worse, the better, for this blog-turned-book-turned-superblog.

texts from last night - http://textsfromlastnight.com/
Another kinda-not-SFW site... the title is brilliantly explanatory.
