Wonder Tonic
How long will it be before everything in the real world comes with a Facebook "Like" button? You exit a movie, you press "Like" on your way out; you make a new friend, you press the thumbs aloft button on their forehead. Someone who's no doubt thought of such things is Mike Lacher, the man behind Like Fighter – a website that allows you to tell the world that, for example, you like nihilism more than Adam West as Batman. This blog is full of similarly inspired internet games and wit, such as the Film School Thesis Statement Generator, which informs us that "Step Up 3D masks the postwar crisis of masculinity"; the Michael Bay-ifier, which turns any photo into a Michael Bay film still; and a tool that translates any webpage into Webdings. Useful.
George And Lynne
Cartoon strip George and Lynne has been dropped from the Sun, but that's no reason not to enjoy this commentary blog, which is as gently sardonic as the tales were gently erotic. For those unfamiliar with them, George and Lynne were a childless suburban couple whose three-picture "adventure" would usually conclude in one of two scenarios – an awful innuendo from George or Lynne's blouse falling off as she told a spectacularly dreadful joke. There really isn't much to explain but, rather magnificently, blogger William Hughes reads plenty of exposition and backstory into their tedious and occasionally kinky relationship while speculating on the mystery of what George actually did to earn a living and why his hair didn't move for three decades.
