NSFW websites...or are they?

Categories: Ridiculata, Web/Tech

Flying squirrel I recently bonded with a colleague over our shared admiration for the blog F— You, Penguin. In a nutshell, the writer finds the cutest animal pictures he can, then proceeds to trash them with lots of comic vitriol. (A sample aimed at the pictured flying squirrel: “I know you think your curled up little tail is going to melt hearts everywhere, but it just looks to me like you're trying to make us forget you can't actually fly. STOP TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH AN INFLATED SENSE OF SELF.”) Aside from the liberal swearing, the site's content is actually kind of tame — rated PG-13, I'd say — but sometimes I hesitate sharing the site because the blaring profanity of the title makes it sound worse than it really is. The same goes for another site I go to, Look at This F—ing Hipster. It got me thinking: I’m sure there are lots of sites or blogs out there with NSFW titles, but relatively SFW content. They don't even have to have the f-word in the title. What are your favorites?

    Definitely Go Fug Yourself. A hilarious blog about bad celeb fashion but every time I tell someone about it I have to be very careful to explain it first and then slowly say the name of the site.

    I was so upset when my office blocked TVGasm. They have fantastic snarky TV recaps, but the name got flagged as dirty. I recently started a new job and was so happy to see that it wasn’t blocked!

    FU Penguin is mine, too! I ended up taking it down from my Facebook page it was too upsetting for some circles. Argh.

    Why The F— Do You Have a Kid is my absolute favorite. It features stupid people (often teenagers) and their future therapy cases.

    Sweet merciful. FUPenguin is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Ah, thanks.

    Maddox at thebestpageintheuniverse.com used to be great, but has since moved on to other project , so it’s rare to see a new post. But his golden days of trashing on children’s artwork are priceless.
