I just found The Single Man’s Guide to TV Dinners… website and someone here on the board recommended the The Ultimate Bad-Candy Website recently. I really get a kick out of these types of review sites and wanted to see if anyone knew of others like them.

I always wanted to start my own site reviewing products that you always see on TV like the _Ginsu Knife_ or _Ronco’s Rotisserie oven_. But a lack of funds dashed that dream. Is there anything like that out there?

The [Bumwine](http://www.bumwine.com/) site has been mentioned on this board before. It might be worth a look.

They no longer do new ones but check out the ratings section of Brunching Shuttlecock’s website here: [http://www.bookofratings.com/archive.html](http://www.bookofratings.com/archive.html)

also most of the content is available in book form as: The Book of Ratings.

The University of Maryland’s parody paper, the Cow Nipple has been doing a [review of campus bathrooms](http://www.studentorg.umd.edu/cownipple/bathrooms/) for a couple of years now. They also have a mission to insult every student group on campus, three or four at a time. Neither is very funny outside the university, except for the general absurdity of reviewing bathrooms or insulting the fifth different kosher acapella group on campus.

[Joe Bob Brigg’s Drive-In Movie Reviews](http://www.joebobbriggs.com/review.asp).

The man virtually invented the genre.

Dewey says “check 'im out.”
