Link roundup!

It's discovered why the "Pokemon Diamond" (aka Telefang) bootleg was so bizarre: It was poorly translated from Japanese to CHINESE first, and only THEN translated into English.
Just read everything on the Translation Train Wreck page and be happy.

I highly recommend the BEYOND NSFW webcomic Oglaf. In brief, it's usually a porn parody of fantasy cliches. Occasionally recurring characters have something resembling a plot subplots, but that usually clears up after a while. Here, have a SFW one to get some idea what this comic is like.

Even Charles Darwin had his bad days! ...He sounds like he's whining on his LJ.
And here's a parody SCP that amuses me, though Your Manboobs May Vanish.
