While this hilarious satire (http://www.platypuscomix.net/websurfin/retrojunk.html) may be new to you, it isn't to me. "Retrojunk's Greatest Article Evar!" would have gone up on August 15, right after Bloom County, if my computer hadn't broken down. All that was left to complete was the fake comments at the bottom, but that Saturday I lost my ability to finish it.
When I was able to come back, I could have run this right away, but it didn't seem like the kind of first impression I wanted to give.

Have you ever been to Retrojunk? They have one of the largest collections of old commercials and theme songs outside of YouTube, yet they also have a really embarrassing article section in which any schmuck can speak, spelling and grammar unnecessary. Understand that to get on you DO have to get an editor's approval (so what kind of editor have they got?)

While this is a parody, it's hardly an exaggeration. Look at this. (http://www.retrojunk.com/details_articles/780/) Or this. (http://www.retrojunk.com/details_articles/738/) And if you don't know, there are at least three "hottist cartoon girlz" articles there already (no links for you there, brave them yourself).

I'll admit it was a pretty funny parody. However, i do have to stick up for RJ here. While they have PLENTY of bad fanboy articles, they also have stuff like these recent ones:
http://www.retrojunk.com/details_articles/948/
http://www.retrojunk.com/details_articles/969/

http://www.retrojunk.com/details_articles/920/

The articles by AlisonSNLKid are pretty good as well. However, i do dig website parodies, are you planning on doing anymore parodies of websites in the future?

I'm sorry but I am an RJ fan.
I don't really care about the crappy articles because you can rate them as just that, crap. No biggie. There are some awsome ones as well.
