Better than life: Sure, we know that the reconstituted mechanically separated chicken parts inside that can of Instant Holiday Dinner are not going to closely resemble the oiled-pampered-shellacked-and-Photoshopped bird on the label, but you at least hope for a discernable resemblance, right? Wrong. Ze Germans over at PUNDO3000 have photographed the appealing packaging and appalling contents of 100 ready-to-eat foodstuffs, and they range from the not-too-dissimilar to the downright fraudulent (not to mention that the comestibles themselves look like they belong in an infectious diseases textbook.) Stay hungry at pundo3000.com/werbunggegenrealitaet3000.htm.
Angry young men: Nothing Nice to Say is a Web comic that takes the worst aspect of the punk rock scene—judgmental macho nerds who endlessly pine for the glorious days past of true hardcore while dismissing everything else in the process—and spins it into hilarious gold. Basically, they make fun of everyone, especially hipsters, Pearl Jam, emo, ska, neo-cons, Henry Rollins, feminists, anarchists and themselves. So what’s not to like at www.mitchclem.com/nothingnice.
