levy, I thought you might enjoy one of the e-mails I got from about.com. I get the travel e-mails (EXCELLENT travel guides for US, Europe etc.) as well as a few others, like the daily one with listings of new stuff. But this one I just signed up for the other day - the worst of the web. I'm laughing, so it worth getting for me <vbg> Don't miss the "Sick Twisted Jokes" link at the bottom. It's great!

On the worst of the web. You dumb Americans!!! Always looking to put down other nations. I just e-mail the webmaster about your racist comments." Well, my problem is that being a dumb Canadian, I'm what saying sh*t about Canadians all the time, so I'm not sure what sh*t about Canadians you're referring to. As for emailing the Webmaster, I guess that would be me, but fortunately I always enjoy reading about racist comments I've made against myself. Got something to say?
