One issue sites

A clear trend on the interwebs is the rise of one issue sites. You have the simple single page sites that try to answer a question, like is it friday yet? or is it 2010 yet?. A site like this is built and published within ten minutes, you can’t really call that a waste of time. And they aren’t exactly nonsensical either. I wrote about a more complex one issue site, the incredible Defiant Dog a while ago and yesterday I found this very good reason to keep a computer with flash installed at hand: Giant Bat Farts. These two sites are not exactly built within a few minutes, somebody took their time to look at some trivial details (like the source code of the bat farts). But nevertheless, these sites are built and then they’re done. If we visit them next year chances are they haven’t changed.

Thanks to free blogging tools you see more and more blogs devoted to nonsense. Some of them, like this incredible collection of female breast on unexpected places (totally safe for work) just show us pictures on one single subject.
Others create their own silly content. Like these animals with lightsabers, an enormous and ever growing collection of the same photoshop trick on pictures of different animals. Good for a few giggles. But the site that made me laugh out loud today is this site with pictures with Selleck, a waterfall and a sandwich on them. The beauty of this site is again in the details. Below every picture there’s a small caption which reads the most important part of the picture, the featured sandwich. To complement this utter nonsense there’s even an Official Selleck Waterfall Sandwich Theme Song.
