The Unnatural Enquirer


You knew it just had to happen. The most warped publication of our day has finally gotten its comeuppance. The rag at the end of the supermarket checkout line have been trashing people and events for more years than I care to remember. Well, today's Warped site has put it in it's place, and with an excellent satirical edge, I might add.

The name of the publication is, if you haven't guessed by now, it the National Enquirer, and the aforementioned website is the Unnatural Enquirer, or as it is subtitled, "Perspiring Minds Want to Know!". Where else can you read such articles as "CPU-CAM: snapshots of daily life inside the computer case", "The Trekkie Terror Picture Show", "ThirtySomething Mutant Ninja Turtles", and (my favorite), "Santa Clause, Fugitive from Justice". The page's philosophy is covered as well. "The Top Secret Language of Flowers", "NerdSigns - Astrology for the 21st Century", and "Isn't It Time You Upgraded to Girlfriend XP".

The site also needs to thank their sponsors. They haven't so I will mention a few of them here. There is "Crazy Ernie's Bargain Hunt", "Oz-On versus Oz-Off", and "The Treehouse Greeting Card Collection". The subject matter this site covers is so wide and varied, that the Warp-o-Meter gives it a 7.5 (which is good, it only give the National Enquirer a 6.5). But then I guess it can recognize good clean all-American satire when it sees it.
