Anxiety Culture - The Website That Becomes More Relevant Every Day.



Anxiety Culture is a subversive magazine/website devoted to defusing the little nagging voice in the back of your head that seems to be getting louder and louder these days.

In their own words, they maintain a VAST, intoxicating mixture of outsider psychology, anti-work philosophy, satire, anti-establishment rants, spoof ads, DIY propaganda, subversive graphics and underground news. Plus "self improvement" articles for the distracted, bored, and cynical.

Whew.

Posted a similar article on Maybe The Dorkiest Thing You'll See All Day.

Transfer Of Power. (via suck.com)

It's already become a meme that now that since Barack Obama has been elected, it will be harder to make jokes about the president. It is true that this cat is less likely to nearly choke to death on a pretzel, fall off of a Segway (which should be physically impossible), hump a plump barely legal aide, throw up on a prime minister, fall asleep at a press conference, consider ketchup a vegetable or any other ridiculous flub that has fueled many a hack comedians repertoire.

In response, I give you suck.com's response to similar confusion during the transition between Clinton and Bush.

Suck.Com Shreds GW, The Reagan Years And Baby Boomers Via Director Of Caddyshack.



In a bit of randomness (that may or may not have to do with the fact that a book is being released), I decided to revisit suck.com. I had forgotten this truly excellent site that faded to oblivion shortly before 9/11 amidst the simultaneous death of many bastions of cool, intelligent counter-culture humor.

So forgive me if you've already read this excellent (if almost decade old) article, in which, through the medium of a review of Harold Ramis' career, a scathing deconstruction of priveleged Baby Boomer mentality emerges. I think it deserves a tasty defrosting, now that the Bush empire is on it's way out of office.
