The Borowitz Report: Your Source for Dated, Topical Humor.
to Commentary by yoyology
Over 2,200 years ago, Greek playwright Aristophanes wrote a comedy titled Lysistrata, which told the story of women from warring states who ended the Peloponnesian War. How did they do it, you ask? Until the men stopped fighting and sheathed their swords, the women wouldn't, uh, "sheathe their swords," if you know what I mean. On March 3, the Lysistrata Project will mount (at the time of this posting) 581 readings of Lysistrata in 38 countries in protest of the potential War in Iraq, and with the hope of catching the ear of those who believe, "Democracy is a beautiful thing."

During his career as an artist, Donald Evans created hundreds of hand-painted postage stamps for imaginary countries.

"Ticket stubs are everywhere, one of the many receipts in our daily lives - but we all save some from time to time. The Ticketstub project is a place where you can upload scanned images of your saved stubs, and tell a story about that night, that concert, that movie, what happened on that date; basically, ask youself why you saved the stub as a reminder."

Annoyances.org is a collection of, well, all the things that people find annoying about Windows. This includes that stupid arrow that bounces off the Start button, the ugly shutdown screen, and any number of other annoyances in between.

Although bitterness about Valentine's day has become as cliched as celebrating it the Hallmark way, Blackheartsparty strikes just the right mix of hate and humor. Take the personality tests, read the reviews of restaurants to take people you only want to fuck and revel in their (and your own) misanthropy.

How many times have you said, "What this event really needs is doves!" For instance, the White Dove Company can make your wedding or memorial service that much more poetically poignant with their snowy-white trained doves. Satisfied customers abound! Yes, they can find their own way back home (they're pigeons, after all). Imagine the possibilities! And if you don't live in England you can always get your doves in Maui.

Last year's passage of H.R. 3162, a.k.a. the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001," has civil libertarians up in arms, but one portion of the bill specifically targets libraries. Recent false alarms notwithstanding, it's clear that the FBI is using the act to obtain information on library employees and patrons.
