I never thought I'd be linking to porn, but I have to in this case. Please enjoy Earth Erotica, a titilating gallery of photos featuring rocks that look vaguely like genitalia. I know there's a lot of demand for that. Yeah.

Also, I had a look at the new strain of advertisements: fake humor sites. I came across what appeared to be a tacky and tasteless Pot Noodle fansite, which I took to be ironic kitsch made by some weirdo trying to be funny and random. But on closer examination, I discovered that this site, which draws parallels between eating Pot Noodle ramen to drug use and pornography, was actually sponsored by the company that makes the noodles. It's main feature is a lame game called "Hysterical Girlfriend", in which you hide your Pot Noodle addiction from her or she kicks you in the head -- and if you hide it successfully she'll give you head. This site evidently won its creators, the digital company Glue London, some marketing awards. Very strange to see a company sponsoring off-color ironic websites about its own product, but evidently this is the clever new ad strategy of the future. Unless it's already happened, and all those "I love Spam" sites are actually owned by Spam. Anyway, have a look at the vaguely-funny and a bit creepy Slave2Noodle.co.uk site, and you'll see what I mean.
