Personifications of Websites.


In 2007 xkcd made a map of the internet based on user populations rather than ownership, Online Communities. The amusing skit above is from Cracked and sees the internet major sites as personifications like god heads, It is easy to see why Pirate Bay is mistrusted in this setup. It is depicted as a group huddled around a copier.

Siskel and Ebert Archive

Stumbled across the archive for Siskel & Ebert. The 20+ year archive of the show as it was under different names/production companies.

Below is the very first episode of Siskel & Ebert from way back in 1975.
