A happy waste of time

by The *cino Community

The prevalence of the Internet has opened up a whole new avenue for funny stuff of all sorts.  We asked our extended *cino community to send in links to some of the web sites that frequently make them chuckle.  Here is a selection, loosely categorized.  As you browse, consider:

• Which sites do you find particularly amusing?
• What’s good about “wasting time” looking for laughs online?
• Where is the line for you between funny and offensive?
• What role does guilt play in all of this (in terms of spending time, what you find funny, etc.)?

Use the comments feature to reflect on the nature of Internet humor or add your own links.
