So you know how you’re sitting around, watching TV, and you see a commercial come on that has that really hot chick in it?
Doesn’t it make you wonder, sometimes, just who the hell that girl is?
Continue reading WHO IS THAT HOT AD GIRL?
There’s nothing that Web Watch can say about this site that it doesn’t already say on its own.
Web Watch loves to participate in any gift-receiving holiday. Christmas, Easter, Hanukah, Arbor Day – you name it, if we’re pretty much guaranteed of getting a gift, we’ll embrace whatever holiday traditions we need to.
Yeah, getting too much stuff is never boring. And as we’ve said previously, we had all our holiday shopping done in just a few hours, but we may have missed getting the Ultimate Christmas Gift for those we were handing out presents to.
Of course, if you followed the OFFICIAL WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE RULES, then you know that sometimes you may be the one who brought The Most Coveted Gift Of The Year, or have been left with a zonk.

Do you remember the FRACTURED FAIRY TALES segment on the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show?
That’s where the show would tell slighty edited, oddball versions of classic stories – occasionally with a modern twist.
It’s almost Halloween time, and that time of year when spouses everwhere dread those two awful words:
“Couples’ Costume”
You never want to be THAT couple at a Halloween party, where your costume depends on your spouse to be around in order to complete the picture. You don’t want to be dressed as an electric plug, and not have your outlet nearby – if you know what we mean.
Continue reading PICTURES OF COUPLES WHO DRESS ALIKE, BUT AREN’T TWINS. (DON’T BE THESE PEOPLE)
Commenting (whether it be on a blog, a Facebook page, or via Tweet) is a fine art.
Some people get it right, and are effective in rallying other readers behind their cause. Others are looked at as Internet trolls, people who have absolutely nothing to add to the conversation.
Look, it’s really easy — we get it, the Internet is an anonymous cesspool of interaction, allowing anyone with a screen and a keyboard to shout out whatever they feel like, at any time they’d like. The First Amendment does protect those folks in saying whatever they want, but the First Amendment doesn’t guarantee that they can say it wherever they can. That’s why the DELETE and BAN buttons were invented.

Sometimes it’s the simplest ideas that are the best, right?
Do you – or someone you know – suffer from SYNESTHESIA?
That’s the neurological condition where someone experiences one sense at the same time (or in place of) experiencing it in the traditional way.
One of Web Watch’s friends has this condition, and when they hear specific words, they also end up visualizing that word in front of them at the same time. Some people see colors by smell, or can hear what tree bark sounds like by touching it.
Look, we know that the above isn’t the best explanation about what’s going on in some people’s heads, but the point is that some people just are better at visualizing things in a manner that the rest of us could just never understand.

Web Watch is pleased to bring you yet another in our ongoing series of WEBSITES THAT HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO BOOKS, following in the footsteps of CAKE WRECKS and F*** MY LIFE that we’ve talked about in the past.
We know, we know.
Why didn’t we think of it?
All it takes is a really awesomely great idea, and you start a blog. Eventually, you start making so much traffic that mainstream press (and Web Watch) start writing about you. Soon, the book publishers begin calling — and that’s when you cash in and retire to the Bahamas.
Today’s entry on this list is entitled IT WAS OVER WHEN… (tales of romantic dead ends). Continue reading FINISH THIS SENTENCE: IT WAS OVER WHEN….
Disney Princesses have inspired many fantasies, for girls and boys alike.
Girls, because they want to be just as glamorous, rich, desired… and more recently, smart and self-sufficient.
Web Watch has covered the Disney Princess phenomenon in the past, from both a business and a fantasy viewpoint (Briana Garcia and her Funny Disney Princesses being a popular page here on Web Watch).
So why do boys like the Disney Princesses? Because let’s face it — in the right circumstance, Disney Princesses can be hot. Heck, how can you explain why seven dwarves fought over Snow White? Continue reading WHAT IF DISNEY PRINCESSES WERE TATTOOED AND PIERCED?
Joel Dovev knows his crap.
More specifically, he knows about the CRAP AT HIS PARENT’S HOUSE. Continue reading CRAP AT MY PARENT’S HOUSE
Fiasco: The Inside Story of a Wall Street Trader
Today, a quick one:
With this past week’s economic news just pummelling the stock markets around the world, sometimes you need to have just the perfect image that can encapsulate the feeling at the moment. After all, 500 point drops in the DJIA don’t happen every day. Continue reading REPORTING ON WALL STREET WOES? STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY TO THE RESCUE!
File this one under “Yet Another Brilliant Idea that Web Watch Didn’t Think of First”.
Of course, first we’d have to get an 81-year-old father who didn’t understand how to use the Internet.
Norman N is just that guy. And he has a funny kid who decided to bring Dad into the 21st century.
And thus was born Old Man Search Continue reading ANOTHER GOOD TWITTER IDEA TAKEN. ISN’T THAT RIGHT, @OLDMANSEARCH ?
Comic fans around the world mourned when Bill Watterson decided to stop writing CALVIN & HOBBES. Considering how much demand there still is for various Calvin or Hobbes merchandise based on the sheer number of counterfeit “Calvin peeing” stickers one sees on the back of pick-up trucks around the country, it was only a matter of time before someone picked up the gauntlet for us fans.
Demand for Bill Watterson’s drawings is so high, any new art from him is newsworthy to the point where the Washington Post had to write an article about Watterson’s first released art in 16 years. Continue reading CALVIN & HOBBES, 26 YEARS LATER. IF ONLY IT WERE TRUE…
You know how you and your buddies all sit around on lazy Sunday afternoons just drinking a few beers and watching the game when one of you comes out with some random-ass deep thought about some TV show or movie or something, and it makes complete total sense to everyone else in the room where everyone says, “yeah, why is that, Dude?” and you all nod your heads in agreement but when it comes the next day nobody remembers what the hell you guys were talking about in the first place?
Then OVERTHINKING IT is a website for you. Continue reading OVERTHINKING THE DEATH STAR, KE$HA’S TIK TOK
