Fark.com Homepage
This unique site offers it’s users a sarcastic spoof on the “news” of the day. Users submit links to stories they find throughout the internet, from top websites like cnn.com or nytimes.com, down to smaller niche blogs. The submitter then writes a brief description (usually less than 30 words) along with the link. If the submitter’s link is deemed worthy enough, it will be included on the fark.com homepage. There is a paid option as well, for $5 a month users can view every single link submitted, and those can be viewed at totalfark.com.
Fark is broken up into several categories, the main category ‘Not News’, followed by seven subcategories: Sports, Business, Geek, Showbiz, Politics, Music, and Video. Each category is broken down by date, showing the links in chronological order from the last week.
The site is completely free to use, however if users want to submit links to stories they find, they first have to create an account. Fark has been around since 1999, and its concept and entertainment value have only gotten better over time. For the most random news stories, there’s only one place to go, and that’s Fark.com.
