Customer Reviews

Good for internet newbies

My mother bought this book, and I thought that it was a bad idea to purchase it, because websites (especially the more useless ones) are ephemeral. However, most of the sites are still online as of November 2004. I have been using the internet for many years, and a large number of these sites were ones I was already aware of. My mother, though, is sort of a newbie, and she really enjoyed visiting these sites; she has gotten some great laughs out of them. This book would make a great gift for your internet-newbie relatives -- those who have a sense of humor, anyway!

Irreverent and funny

Both the book and the sites in it are funny. The comments about the sites are irreverent and guaranteed to provoke a laugh or two. Even the "Stupid" label for many of these sites is "tongue-in-cheek", as it is clear the author found them quite hilarious. Of course, some of the sites (the ones who take themselves seriously and are not "meant" to be humorous, but are) really are "Incredibly Stupid". This book skewers a few sacred cows along the way, but that's usually the basis of true humor. All in all, a fun read. This book may not change the course of world history, but it will make you chuckle.

Wow, Its great, And some of the websites are pretty good too

I thought This was a really good book, and IT led me to my beloved Keepers of Lists...This book has some really awesome websites, just like this one, and then there are the stupid ones, like Carrot top's website, MAKE IT STOP

Awesome writing by autistic boy

I liked this book because it was very well written and shows that children with Autism have a good chance to make it. I was referred to this book by an autism site because the writer is a 17 year old boy with High functioning autism.Excellant. My 7 year old autistic son loves it.

Really hilarious book from a talented teenager,

This is a very, very funny book. The descriptions and comments on the websites are really well written, and the rating system is great. The book is even more funny once you start looking at the wacky websites. The web pages themselves are DEFINITELY "unbelievably stupid". I loved "The Church of Shatnerology" ...where they worship Captain Kirk and T.J. Hooker, and "The Center for the Prevention of Shopping Cart Abuse" ... where Bob Crane from Hogan's Heroes lives on as a shopping cart abuser. The thing that I found most impressive was that this book was written by a 17 year old high school student. Read this next to your computer and you're in for hours of fun.
