Blog Review: What Would Tyler Durden Do?

If you don't know who Tyler Durden is, then you're a flamer and you need to see Fight Club, because it's fucking Brad Pitt -- what else do you want? Then again, I don't really know what he has to do with this blog, other than being in the title.

What Would Tyler Durden Do? is, to quote the writer, "a blog focused on bringing you the latest gossip and news about rich and famous celebrities. And then making fun of them. Why? Because fuck them, that's why." Very similar to Life Misled in some ways, but a bit on the gentler side -- in other words, you're less likely to cringe after reading an article. Still funny, though.

WWTDD is written by Brendon Donnelly, a guy who certainly looks like he doesn't take any shit. Apparently, he also used to write for IDon'tLikeYouInThatWay and was head writer for The Superficial.

Anyway, I've been meaning to review this site for a long time, because I've been following it for months. It's funny and well-written, and what could be bad about anyone who writes something like, "For the first time, I'm on Britney’s side. That tubby bitch can acquire food, I assure you. She's like a polar bear. You could put a cake under 2 feet of ice and Britney would stick her nose to the ground and find it. When asked for a comment, Britney said, "food goes in my tummy". I'm not technically a doctor, bet she's right on that one."

In conclusion: read it... or Brendon will kick your ass.

Blog Review: I Can Has Cheezburger

Anyone that has never been to I Can Has Cheezburger should be shot. Now, I know I already said Gaijin Smash is my favorite blog to read, but I check ICHC generally every day. No joke.

For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of LoLCats, they are pictures of cats in odd poses or places to which grammatically incorrect captions are added for amusement. There are other types of LoLthings, including the LoLrus and LoLBots (particularly nerdy). Sure, plenty of people don't find these poorly-spoken felines as hilarious as I do, but those people were likely raised in strict, hypocritically religious families with fathers that beat the childhood out of them at a young age, so they unfortunately grew up without any sense of humor and a stupidly opinionated disposition.

Another neat feature on ICHC is their LoLCat Builder, where you can make your very own LoLCats! I lack the wit this very delicate procedure requires, but you can always try -- the only downside is that mods screen all sumbissions, and they may take some time to get to yours. It ensures that there aren't any "Cockz lulz" submissions, though.

That said, I leave you with a few of my favorites:

Blog Review: Outpost Nine

Since I did Gaijin Smash, I feel obligated to do the original site that the Japanese Schoolteacher series was posted on. Outpost Nine is another editorial blog, also maintained by Azrael, that isn't Japan-focused. Since the guy lives in the country, there's naturally some crossover, but there are many neutral yet hilarious posts, such as Mating Rituals (clubbing) and Anti-Valentines Day.

If you'd like to read honest cynicisms from a talented and entertaining writer, check out the site. He just recently started updating it again, after taking a break to move the Schoolteacher editorials to Gaijin Smash, and he's just as good as he was before.

Especially amusing are his "A Picture's Worth" set; where else can you find things like the Poopy Picker?

Yes, that's a real picture.

Blog Review: Gaijin Smash

My original intent for this blog was to be a review site for other blogs. Obviously, I have strayed a bit from this idea, but I don't think it's a bad thing -- my previous posts have been well-received thus far, so I'll probably stick with the amalgamation of the things I have so far, plus whatever else I feel like throwing in.

Anyway, here's the first blog review:


Gaijin Smash is my most favorite blog to read when I'm bored. It's a non-fiction blog, which may sound dull, but I'll honestly say that is the last possible thing it could be.

It's about an American man living in Japan. Doesn't sound exciting? Well, then you probably don't know how absolutely fucked up Japanese culture is. Now, before you start calling me racist and culturist and whatnot, try reading some of this guy's posts. You wouldn't believe some of the things he's seen/heard/experienced/been horrified by.

Reading Azrael's (the author) posts will educate you in the following subjects: the game of Kancho, Dodgedick and Dodgedick Sense, the meaning of Gaijin/Gaijin Powers/Gaijin Perimeter/ect, Massive Melon Tits, porn on trains, and much, much more.

No, I'm not kidding.

Either way, Azrael is very articulate and very, very funny. I have found myself in silent computer labs on campus, reading the blog for lack of anything more productive to do (usually when skipping a class), and I'll suddenly surprise myself and annoy everyone else with a loud laugh. The angry looks are worth it, though, and I just keep reading, so the cycle continues.

In conclusion: It's funny, and addictive. Read it.
