Satire on the web

(1/3) > >>

Edvard:
On this thread there was a brief discussion of "satirical" websites. Sites that seem legitimate, but then it is revealed that the purpose is to Satirize a legitimate issue, people group, religion, political ideology, etc.
How about a thread for such sites, as they can be at once rollickingly funny, flat stupid or thought provoking in a how-dare-they-say-that-and-live sort of way, but mostly fun. (and if it's political or religious, include a disclaimer...)
I'll start out with a real fun one: Gobler toys!
