My Life Is F****d!

Hunch.com I talked about in my Blog yesterday is not the only website that separates what is a social website by a very fine line from the world of absurdity. F**k My Life (fmylife.com) is a website where thousands use as personal epitome, something like Twitter, for those who have an urge to share their life practically minute by minute with the whole world, with people who are total strangers in most cases. They post short stories or accounts, supposedly true, in no more than 300 words (only 140 in Twitter) why their life is a mess, a disaster or sheer ordeal, justified or not justified. All of them begin with 'today' and end with 'my life is f**Ed up'. One says: "Today my husband found the box of day-after pill. He had a vasectomy 10 years ago. My life is f**ked." Other users can vote whether this person simply has bad luck or she deserved what she got. In France they have their own version: VieDeMerde.fr Uban Dictionary (ubandictionary.com) is a dictionary of the real academic of the street. It contains all the street slang, expressions and acronyms with which to survive in the city streets of the United States. Users are encouraged to post words and phrases or expressions they know, updating them when anything is changed or added, any linguistic novelties adopted in real time. Indispensable to know that 'bing' means jail, 'bada' is an insult, and LOL, ROTFL ... etc. The Onion (theonion.com) is a web diary. It informs punctually about the parallel world, the absurd one. It was born in Wisconsin in 1988 and there are several editions in the US and in the web. It's a dominion of humour, with videos, recordings of radios, news reported with comic touches in the style of the Marx: 'American bulls dream of escaping to Spain to run in the San Fermin' and "A new mechanical heart let's Dick Cheney experiment with love' or 'A black man got the worse job in America' referring to the victory of Obama. Do we really need all those sites? Tags:ubandictionary
