The Weblog Review

Tasteless. Trite. Juvenile. Caustic. Jejune. Asinine. The authors at Drunkenlosers.com seem to be striving toward the aforementioned adjectives at an alarming speed. The weblog’s primary contributor, identified only as LlamaSex, has chosen a most interesting format in which to entertain and, perhaps, educate his (or her?) readers: Slapshot commentary, associated links, and cartoons. The three, combined with a layout redolent of early porn bulletin boards and the addition of an “Exploited Girl of the Day” gallery, makes for a weblog primarily of interest to twenty-something underachieving males.



Drunkenlosers, despite the bulk choice of its content, is surprisingly literate and not entirely without merit. The authors do pull serious news snippets into their posts and they are not without the faculties for evaluating the impact of current events. However, the site is rife with Beavis and Butthead-like sexual innuendos which do not enhance the more intellectually interesting aspects of the site’s content. Many readers may feel that a definite “clean up” is in order for Drunkenlosers; but, one is also forced to wonder whether or not the National Lampoon type of atmosphere is intentional. (There is, after all, something to be said for any site which provokes a strong reaction, be the reaction negative or positive.)



Succinctly, Drunkenlosers.com IS tasteless, trite, asinine, and the like. It is not, however, a waste for those readers who enjoy weblogs with short bursts of timely humor and shoddy photos of naked women.Drunkenlosers

The first thing that struck me was the colours, summery yet not overly bright or too garish. The design is excellently set out, not cluttered but allows the information to been seen easily.



The entries themselves provide an interesting read, with excellent links on and off site to various different resources such as dotcomments. I enjoyed looking at the lovely array of pictures of the author’s son that provided and insight into the authors life, also there was a good section on the authors life, which I felt useful in understanding his entries.



Overall an excellent blog with more than the usual blog entries, and excellent read.

Lemon Lime is a pretty, if unremarkable weblog with no other purpose than to publish the opinions of its author.



The design and layout are both fine, with a nice touch of anime-inspired illustration, and the text and links are all legible.



However, nothing at the site really stands out. There’s not much to the blog, although it is at times quite interesting and there are plenty of links to off-site attractions.



Unfortunately this site doesn’t do enough to stand out from the crowd. The blog is uninspiring even though the design is good.Lemon Lime

A laugh from beginning to end, and I mean that in a good way, although the “email me, bitch” was a bit of a turn off. I didn’t email because I am a bitch.



Overall design of the site is boring. Your basic black background with white text and a little red and some baby ducks for fun.



The tone of the site is consistant through of his posts, beginning in July.

I thought some of them were very funny, and some were a bore, just like anyone’s life at that age. I can picture Mr. Clean looking like a “really buff Santa”, as he describes in a post in August. I hope he gets his ’73 Nova.



One entry in particular had me in stitches,

“Mom: Tyler, vacuum up the dead flies on your window sill

Me: No, I’m keeping them there

Mom: Why?

Me: They’re a warning to the other flies

Mom: It’s disgusting

Me: But you don’t see any new flies now do you?

Mom: Tyler, don’t argue with me, vacuum up the flies

Me: But then more will come and I will have to vacuum them too. When will the killing end?

Mom: Vacuum your window or you can’t drive in december.

Me: … I’ll vacuum the window… vacuum it good…

and I sure did.”.



Sometimes sick, sometimes gross, often funny, Tyler’s blog is not your run of the mill teen blog, but is filled with humor.

Either that, or he’s a psycho.







The never-ending ever-lasting party in my pants

Generally I hate to be forwarded to another page when I visit a site, but the graphic I was directed to was worth it this time. The Zen attitude of the graphic set the tone for the entire site.



Before I checked out the blog, I immediately clicked on “girl” to see what I could find out about the author. I found a very detailed and thoughtful entry about Ren and what she looks like, what she does all day, and how she got to this spot in life.

I must go easy on her blog though, she might hunt me down and slap me around like she does those who steal her graphics.



Basically, this is the blog of a 22 year old unemployed lady who does good web design and is pretty funny if you read her posts to her blog. She has only been blogging for a few weeks, and doesn’t blog daily yet, as she thinks nobody is reading it. But…we are.



Her site design is very good. All the links work, and the design is cohesive overall. Nice quiet background color and Zen-like feel to the site.



I had empathy for Ren and plan to return to visit her site again. I almost broke down and bought her the webcam…
