eSarcasm.com: Geek Humor Gone Wild

eSarcasm, The Website That Makes You Feel Good All Under (tm), is the demented brainchild of award-winning journalists JR Raphael and Dan Tynan, who’ve spent years chronicling the light-and-fluffy side of technology for PC World, C|NET, Wired News, Popular Science, and other publications they're declining to name on the advice of their attorneys.

eSarcasm is devoted to puncturing Web 2.0 windbags, skewering weird science, and making fun of nearly everything from mindless Internet memes to brain-dead press releases. Also: Its authors are obsessed with sex and devices powered entirely by human urine. Because, really, who isn't?
