And Twins! People still say that, right?

There is a motto in the marketing world which is treated as its highest gospel. That motto is, "18-34 year-old men have a lot of disposal income that they'll spend on any old crap, so put some shots of chicks in bikinis and some dudes fighting or whatever and they'll give you money for basically anything. Yes, even web domains." This philosophy has given us Stuff, FHM, Maxim, Axe Body spray, Spike TV, and just about every beer commercial in the last 25 years. And it's also given us a breast-laden, nutshot-rich source of comedy in Holy Taco. And sure, the site may appeal to the baser instincts of the Y chromosome, but that doesn't mean it can't make your brain laugh, too.

Ninjas: Still Funny, Still Helpful

In the middle of the last decade, when the economy was still strong, Dick Cheney was still fat and Derek Jeter could still play baseball well, we were all captivated by the resurgent phenomenon of the ninja. Ninjas were everywhere. I mean, you couldn't see them - they're ninjas - but they were everywhere. Then the ninja fad got kind of big and blown out, eventually finding its way in big Hollywood non-blockbusters like The Warrior's Way and Ninja Assassin, leading to an inevitable decline. But throughout it all, we've had the helpful advice of the classic web series/podcast Ask a Ninja. Maybe the herd has moved on to new stuff, like guidos and Gagas, but at least one Ninja is still there for those who call.
