For every truly useful and informative web site, there must be an equally trivial and frivolous one. This is the yin and yang of the internet universe. But just because a web site is devoted to bubble wrap doesn’t mean it is any less important than a page dedicated to ending world hunger, does it? Well, alright, it probably does. But it is this heterogeneity that gives the internet a vitality and uniqueness that is unparalleled in any other media. This column is dedicated to these mindlessly fun, sometimes intriguing web sites.
This Week’s Theme - Get Animated
Badger Badger Badger - http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com/
It’s just a bunch of dancing badgers in a field with a mushroom and an evil snake, yet it is oddly hypnotic. Check out their Lord of the Rings Special Edition for more badger fun.
The Hampster Dance - http://www.hampsterdance.com/
These cute little hampsters have been dancing the night away since 1997.
Rather Good - http://www.rathergood.com/
This site boasts a whole slew of odd yet quite entertaining musical animations. Don’t miss “We Like The Moon” (http://www.rathergood.com/moon_song/) or Pavarotti’s ode to elephants (http://www.rathergood.com/elephants/).
Mr. Peg - http://www.mrandmrswheatley.co.uk/mrpeg.html
Sing with me now: “The original man, made out of pegs, pegs for arms, pegs for legs, fancy that! A peg for a hat...”
Ding Fries Are Done - http://www.americanangst.com/dingfries.html
It's everyone’s favorite politically-incorrect Christmas song!
