One of my new favorite satirical websites is PleaseRobme, a database of absent-minded social networking updates broadcasting that the user is away from home. In the words of the website,
“So here we are; on one end we’re leaving lights on when we’re going on a holiday, and on the other we’re telling everybody on the internet we’re not home.”
This reminds me of some favored internet dating profiles. “On the one hand, my website handle is SuperHotMama, on the other hand, I chose to feature a heavily shadowed picture of my left ear in my profile picture.” Self-deception can be fun.
