Today's update includes the following fictional write up for a Modern Marvels show about Something Awful.
Something Awful
Airs Monday February 5 at 2:00PM
It was designed to be the most popular web site that makes the least amount of money on the Internet. Learn how web mogul Richard Kyanka has turned a hobby into a media empire that would cause him to lose money if it weren't for a couple forums ready and willing to buy new cartoon avatars every week. Find out how 3 million page views can earn you tens of dollars with Google AdSense and make you a hundredaire.
Want to lose almost 50% of the cash you bring in to taxes and merchant fees for shit you sell to people on the Internet? Mr. Kyanka will show you how you too can get into the lucrative business of running a web site that doesn't bombard its users with ads that fly into the center of the page and dance around in the hopes that you accidentally click on them. In this episode of Modern Marvels, you'll learn just how expensive sticking to your principles can be!
As usual, the update overall was kinda lame, but you'll have to visit the page to truly understand the metahumor of the above paragraphs--they include those obnoxious underlined advertising words that explode into imbedded popups the moment you accidentally mouse over them. I guess I'm surprised Something Awful doesn't make more money, maybe they forgot to get a patent for their ground breaking work in substituting comedy with e-mails from stupid people.
Anyone want to lay down odds on whether or not their next Art of Warcraft update will actually include a joke or a prank?
