So I lied<\/a>. I still don’t trust that my funny-filter is better than yours, but I do<\/i> think it’s better than Dog Bites Dog’s<\/a> funny-filter (if not, alas, its funny-generator). It also occurred to me that a DBD weblog has a function other than filtering: I think it’s a good thing to archive and save the best bits for future humans, who won’t understand their context, because the links have rotted. But still.<\/p>\n

Relatedly, like most postadolescent males, I have harbored in my gut the desire to start a satirical news publication. Since by far the best part of any such rag is the headlines, though, that’s all I ever bothered to produce. For the last few months, whenever I’ve felt particularly savage about something in popular culture, I’d come up with a headline and archive it. That wasn’t often enough to be a viable source of content on its own. Combined with somebody else’s generated headlines, though, it might be!<\/p>\n

It is for these combined purposes that I’ve set up Dog Bites<\/a>, a weblog in the vein of Spam As Folk Art<\/a>.
