I came across this site randomly. Truly serendipity. McSweeney's Internet Tendency is a humor and literature website hosted by McSweeney's publishing house. Its features are a riot, parading around a hilarity absurdly sophisticated. Titles as "Nostalgic Remembrances of Things That Haven't Happened Yet" and "Back From Yet Another Globetrotting Adventure, Indiana Jones Checks His Mails and Discovers That His Bid for Tenure Has Been Denied" leave the reader thoroughly amused through their tongue and cheek wit. "Submission Guidelines to our Refrigerator Door" is believable. I promise. In fact, I am convinced my submission of a crudely drawn portrait of Dorian Gray will surely win a spot on their corporate refrigerator. It's not a robot monkey and that's important; it's a rule: no robot monkeys on their coveted refrigerator door.
Oh, and "Jean-Paul Sartre, 911 Operator" makes me squeal with pleasure. Jean-Paul is a little aphoristic bitch as he rattles off a mix of existential truisms in French and English, while the caller approaches his doom. The article is a glorious philosophical romp.
Go. Go now to McSweeney's! They're in a spot of financial trouble and need your help. They're auctioning off a bunch of stuff on eBay.
