What is WebUrbanist.com?
In short: WebUrbanist is a collectively produced weblog about all things urban and, well, some things not so much. It is a place to stop by and learn about something entirely new … and hopefully a place to find inspiration as well as entertainment.
Why should people read WebUrbanist.com?
Come for the craziness, stay for the discussion! But really: I (not so humbly) think people should read it because we put a lot of interesting stuff - images, links and information - into every post.

The junk that the mainstream media passes as news stories can be funny, saddening and downright dumb. When Congress approved an additional $70 Billion for the war on terror, CNN had a more important top news story for their readers: “What will you tell kids about Britney’s sister?” they asked. Since February of 1999, FARK.com and its massive community has been making fun of said “news”. GearCrave sat down for an interview with the founder of FARK.com and the godfather of social news, Drew Curtis. Farkers, myself included, salute Curtis as a bit of a hero. Continue reading to learn more about the man, the movement, and the hilarity that is FARK.com.
