Humor Links

• Satirical Publications
  • The Borowitz Report
  • Demotivators from Despair, Inc. (appropriately, at www.despair.com)
  • Humor in the News
  • The Hypocrisy Entertainment Network
  • McSweeney's (Note: this is the official site, at McSweeneys.net. In April 2000, there was also a parody McSweeney's site at McSweeneys.com. It is not clear whether this parody -- if it was one -- was created by Dave Eggers or the Massachusetts McSweeneys, who own the domain McSweeneys.com. That site is now gone, and its domain is for sale.)
