I have a facination with websites about really bad things. Not car crashes or anything like that, just gross food, ugly furniture, stories about horrible people, dumb ideas and bad art. Some of my favorites are [Query Letters I Love](http://queryletters.blogspot.com/), [Go Fug Yourself](http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/), [Etiquette Hell](http://www.etiquettehell.com/), [Hanzi Smatter](http://www.hanzismatter.com/), [The Institute for Official Cheer](http://www.lileks.com/institute/index.html) and [Aweful Plastic Surgery](http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/). I especially love large or oft-updated blog type sites. I’m also particularly interested in bad writing and film work of all kinds. Any places I should visit? ---

planet feedback can be amusing at times. it has actual letters about gross food, ugly furniture, stories about horrible people, dumb ideas and bad writing. and it is both large and updated often. i’m not so sure about the art aspect though, lol. ---

How about [resumania?](http://www.resumania.com/) It is a site which shows some of the worst mistakes people have made on their resumes. During the drudgery of job hunting, it provides great comic relief. ---

I’ve become smitten lately with the livejournal community [Bad Tattoos](http://www.livejournal.com/community/bad_tattoos/). The worst in body art, culled from all over. The community members especially dislike kanji, butterflies, tribal art, and “tramp stamps”. ---

[http://www.fuckedcompany.com/](http://www.fuckedcompany.com/) is a collection of stories of websites/online businesses that utterly failed for one reason or another. ---

On [SomethingAwful.com](http://SomethingAwful.com), there are a few. I think they’re called SWAT. Funny stuff. Though in my opinion, The Institute for Official Cheer is the best one I’ve seen to date. ---

I’m not going to link to it, because of the two click real, but there’s a LJ community called **bad\_porn\_2/**.
