So whenever I’m bored at my job (I work in marketing), I take a mental break and visit Websites. These are always my go-tos: > **[People.com | Celebrity News, Exclusives, Photos and Videos](https://people.com/)** > > Get breaking news and trending scoops on your favorite celebs, royals, true crime sagas, and more. The Superficial Go Fug Yourself Perez Hilton But I’m starting to get tired of them! As you can see, I love celebrity news…any suggestions for other good sites I could visit? I need to add some new stuff to my repetoire to liven things up a bit. ---

I like Reddit and Digg personally. I just look at the links and try not to read the idiotic comments and such, but there is good stuff. Stumbleupon is good time as well. ---

[QUOTE=Gretchen Ross] Really? What’s so cool about Fark? [/QUOTE] Fark is either the best or the worst site in the world - a Schrodingers cat of a site. You could try Popbitch, but it’s Brit-centric, and having read it for 7 years I guess that it’s a bit dependant on familiarity. ---

I’m a big fan of [Look At This](http://seehere.blogspot.com/) and [English Russia](http://englishrussia.com/). They’re both rather eclectic link blogs, and usually have something fairly random and interesting whenever I check. ---

I have to believe you already know about Something Awful: [www.somethingawful.com](http://www.somethingawful.com) I heartily recommend David Wong’s Pointless Waste of Time: [www.pointlesswasteoftime.com](http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com). If you have time, read _John Dies at the End_, his orginal work of fiction, which I think is brilliant and hilarious and creepy as hell all at once. Then there’s [www.spamusement.com](http://www.spamusement.com), which features–what else? Silly drawings to match spam e-mail headings. My favorite is [today is the best day.](http://spamusement.com/index.php/comics/view/82) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fun-web-sites/419177.md?page=2)
