It’s Not Journalism

 

Star Power: The Drunken Stepfather—who may very well be neither—is a local blogger with a penchant for the worst, most degrading celebrity gossip/paparazzi boobie shots available on the interweb. Hilary Duff, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and various other marginally talented supermarket check-out headline favourites make their appearances, bracketed by commentary that doesn’t always make sense, but never fails to entertain. This isn’t even the Web equivalent of junk food, it’s instant tooth rot at www.drunkenstepfather.com.

Nintendo Power: Okay, video game blogs are not exactly a rare commodity, but Error Macro does it differently. Error Macro is exceptionally nerdy, even by blogger standards—features like Mario’s Bastard Children, a chronicle of the awful and bizarre software other companies made under licence from Nintendo, and links to Atari-era game-tip LPs and oddly compelling claims that Super Mario Bros. is a retelling of the life of Buddha. Despite being named after an obscure Mortal Kombat ninja, it’s very Nintendo-biased, and if that suits you fine, you’ll enjoy www.errormacro.com.
