In praise of Fark.com

I've become a huge fan of the photoshopped images on Fark.com, like this one that gives the bankrupt United a new logo. They are a brilliant combination of low-brow and high-brow humor. What is really interesting is how some pretty obscure pop-culture references get worked in, as well as recurring characters and themes. There's a Ph.D. dissertation waiting to written about how various motifs return over and over, becoming an "inside" joke on the site.
