Here, I will be giving a (short) review of one of my favourite websites, www.cracked.com
I apologise for the lack of images - I'll try and get them in later.
This website is largely article based - although there are some collumns and videos. However, the articles themselves are the real joy - they range from the side-splittingly hilarious to the scary and thought-provoking.
All the way through an article there will be links to other websites, often where they got a particular fact or figure from. This gives the website a ring of authenticity.
Images are used to great effect - they serve to highlight particular parts of the text and often have humorous captions.
The huge number of articles is also staggering. They are ordered into catergories (Tech, Movies, Music, TV, Celebrities, Sex, Sports, News and More Funny Stuff). Within these catergories there are easily a good 50 or more articles, and more are being added all the time.
Unfortunately, there are one or two downsides. The videos, whilst being a nice addition, are not as funny as they think are. Also, the cartoons feel uneccassery and tacked on.
But these are minor complaints. All in all, this website is truely great, and a cure for us when we're feeling miserable.
I leave you with this article. www.cracked.com/article_17098_6-strangest-objects-people-were-caught-having-sex-with.html
