Have you ever snuck into a concert?



Web Watch has been lucky enough to have seen pretty much every major artist we’ve ever wanted to see play in concert.

Kenny Rogers?  Check.

U2? Check.

Neil Diamond? Check.

Village People?  You betcha.

And for the most part, we had tickets or passes for every show.  Now, we’ll admit that there may have been one or two where we did end up having to finagle our way into a venue or two, but we swear that we had a legitimate right to be there to justify our sneakiness.

Just because we didn’t have a ticket at the time doesn’t mean that we didn’t know where we could get one.

SFW Porn



Are you that Web Watch reader who’s stuck at work, just hankering to look at some images that your company would consider to be NSFW (that’s “not safe for work”, for those new Web Watch readers who may not be familiar with the term).

Look – Web Watch understands that some of our readers may be a bit addicted to pornography, so we’re here to help.  We’ve found a website that’s perfectly acceptable for you to view at work, even though it is 100% filled with explicit, pornographic images.

What are the odds of killing yourself when playing Russian Roulette?



What are the odds of killing yourself while playing Russian Roulette?

Web Watch doesn’t really know why this question was asked on the Internet, but it was – and it’s our duty to share this information with our faithful Web Watch readers.

Because one never knows when one will find themselves in a Russian Roulette game where this may come into play.

Of course, you can always make it Beer Roulette, where you guess as to which one of the beers in the 6-pack has been shaken up.  It’s a waste of a good can of beer, but it’s infinitely funnier.

In some divorces, couples fight over who gets the toilet paper



In some divorces, couples fight over who gets the toilet paper.

One of Web Watch’s friends wanted out of his marriage so badly, he left everything behind. The ex-wife got everything – including his clothes.  He felt it was easier to just replace all his stuff then it was to have to deal with her in any way.

Yeah, that was a rough divorce, but rest assured that he’s in a much, much happier place now.

Quitting your job in spectacular fashion



Have you ever quit your job?

Web Watch knows someone who didn’t actually quit their job – they just stopped showing up while they went to work elsewhere.  The employer kept paying them and kept them on the payroll for months, before figuring out that person wasn’t going to come back.  It was more of a quiet, subtle quit process.

But quitting can bring such joy to people, if they do it with passion.

Has your website been plagiarized?



Web Watch has been around for quite a number of years now, having presented our faithful readers with thousands of websites, videos, news articles, and other tidbits of helpful information along the way.

And with that type of success online, we’re also subjected to having our content stolen.

It’s true — and we’ve had to file cease & desist notices to a number of websites that copied our original content and presented it as their own.

Silly rabbit – just because it’s posted on the Internet doesn’t mean that it’s free for the taking.

Canadians hate sex



Apparently, Canadians hate sex.

To be fair, it’s not all Canadians, and it’s not that they hate sex — it’s just that some Canadians have sex lower on their priority scale than other things.

Feeling Lucky? How to use Google for Fun!



Bored?

Looking for something fun to do?

Why not take a few minutes to poke around with Google?

(“Hey, Web Watch – we already know how to use Google,” you say.  Of course you do.  But here’s how to have FUN with Google search…)

The Worst Stripper Songs, Ever



So the other day, Web Watch was having some drinks with friends when the topic of party music came up.

Of course, we all broke out singing Red Solo Cup at the top of our lungs, much to the chagrin of our host as they had banned that song from any and all gatherings that they partake in.

Which only prompted us to sing the song louder and at every available opportunity.

And that’s when the conversation shifted from FUN PARTY SONGS to WORST SONGS FOR STRIPPERS TO DANCE TO.

The overall winner?

What’s a BOC? If it’s from WOOT, it’s either a Bucket of Chum or Basket of Candles!



Well, another one has finally arrived.

The WOOT.COM BOC (affectionately known as a “Bag of Crap”, or any other acronym that contains the letters “B.O.C.”) is here.

As Web Watch previously told you about when we ordered our WOOT BANDOLIER OF CARROTS, WOOT.COM occasionally offers grab bags of assorted merchandise for $3 (plus $5 shipping and handling).  When you place your order, you have no idea what you’re going to get.

Just like the TV show LET’S MAKE A DEAL, sometimes you’ll end up with the most awesome prize ever, or you might get zonked.

Let’s take a look at what Web Watch hauled in this time around for our $8 investment:

The 10 Worst Job Uniforms for All Time



Some offices let their workers enjoy “casual Fridays”, where employees can trade in their khakis and button-down shirts for Levis and polo shirts.

Web Watch knows of one company where they require the staff to wear suits to work once a month (every other day is a “business casual” environment).

And don’t get Web Watch started on those companies we’ve visited where some women feel that flip-flops are appropriate for the office.  We already know that shouldn’t be allowed, no matter what organization you’re in.

Which would you choose in a mate: Personality or Sex?



Does anyone remember that FOX TV reality show MR PERSONALITY?

On this dating show, the male contestants all wore masks to hide their facial features from their potential love interest.  The concept was that for any pure relationship to work, one’s personality should take priority over one’s looks.

Obviously, with the subsequent success of shows without masks like THE BACHELOR, the American TV audience is more interested in the visuals and sex appeal of their reality TV contestants rather than the more sincere personality-driven programming.

Today’s teenagers are not having sex as early as their parents did



How old were you when you first had sex?

And if you have kids that age, have you taken the time to have THAT conversation with them, to ensure that your kids don’t make the same mistake (or have the same fun) that you had when you were their age?

Chances are, you haven’t.  Web Watch doesn’t know many parents who have had that conversation at all.

But it may end up that today’s parents shouldn’t be that discouraged about their kids bumping uglies in an unresponsible manner, according to a recent report from the CDC.

Video Fun: How to sneak alcohol onto a cruise ship



It’s a game played everywhere around the world:

Tourists find ways to sneak alcohol onto cruise ships, and cruise ships do everything they can to prevent their guests from doing so.

Web Watch has seen cases of beer and liquor be confiscated time and time again when unsuspecting passengers attempt to circumvent the ship’s rules about bringing contraband onboard.

We completely understand, and would never dream of trying to sneak any excess liquor onto our next cruise vacation by replacing the shampoo in a bottle with Kahlua.

That’s just nasty.

How hard is it to learn Spanish?



How hard is it to learn Spanish?

When you look at the scale of all languages around the world, learning Spanish is about as difficult as learning French, Italian, or Portuguese.

Surprisingly, a few other languages were also considered at the same level — Afrikaans, Norwegian, Swedish, and Dutch included.
