The internet is a mad and interesting place. Just think of where we are now, in a piece of digital space where we make "friends". Wierd.
Music
Oh dear, like I am totally in to Neil Young and Fine Young Cannibals and Britney - not.
Movies
Fargo. How can you not like a film that ends with the bad guy in the wood chipper and the good guy gets her man.
Television
Seinfeld. I thought Friends was funny, but it really does suck compared to this show.
Books
The Tao. If you ever want to know what life is all about, take a few hours out and learn. It sort of sounds stupid when compared to life in America, but then the life in the Tao was devised and has been applied for 2500 years, so give it some credit.
Heroes
Superman. Anyone who wears such a sad suit and still gets the girl is alright in my book.
This is a quick scrolling link to The Pisstakers front page snippets where we take the piss ie satirise, ridicule and find the humor in our chosen subjects - web, technology, UK/US news and quirky, mad world stuff.
So don't be afraid, show your mothers and grandmas a good time. Good scrolling widget innit!! We can code about as well as MySpace techies, so are glad for the help from the skilled crew at springwidgets.com
Web and technology can be fun
Grannies can be surprising people sometimes, so if you own one who is specifically into grinning at stupid things related to the web, technology, gadgets, get her to check out the scrolling list
When the local TV news has "Windy night ahead" as its main headline. Seeing people getting paid to produce shite like that, I can only believe our blog can do better and we will be gazillionaires one day! (Ed the Editor in a lucid moment.)
For a full load of humorous pisstaker stuff, go to The Pisstakers. And if you fancy contributing a satirical article to our site, you might win a fantaaaaastic coaster as Writer of the Week.
Our trial podcasts are here!
We have no idea if these are good or bad, but they are there to listen to. We are dry and witless, or? Let us know.
We will be to Revver videos and Flickr photos what Bush is to Iraq: a deconstructing influence!
But on a happier note than the trigger happy mega pres, our poking around in other people's business is limited to satirising the background story and looking into the finer points of photos and movie clips that make us smile.
We don't bend over for just anyone - you just have to ask and we will oblige - so, please send photos to The Pisstakers Flickr group and join Revver to earn money and add movie suggestions to our Revver collection so that we can rip into stuff for you - and your granny. Thanks!
To see 50,000 proud fans and friends of the Pisstakers, all with a t-shirt and coaster with our logo on it. Something like this.
Talking of shopping, did you know?
According to an article in one of the excellent podcasts from Boag World, 70% of all shopping basket experiences end up aborted.
Apparently this is due to fiddly order processes, excessive info requests and plain dumb forms.
Well, we can safely say that The Pisstakers Shopping Experience probably beats 70% of all known websites. We have a secure shopping basket, relevant searches, slick and constant updating of lines, all backed by technology from the biggest and best names in on-line shopping. Not a bad claim for an upstart who doesn't even have a company credit card!
