Your boycotted sites
I'm curious to know which websites you personally avoid like the plague and why. I have a list of them I boycott for a variety of reasons and simply wanted to know if I'm the only one here. Websites you regard as cringe-worthy at the mere mention of, sites you recoil from with distain, the glimpse of forces you to vomit blood at your monitor, not literally obviously. ^^ I'll start:

GameSpot.

ARGH. For those of you who don't know why, back in 2007 Jeff Gerstmann, the site's long-time editorial director was dismissed for giving a poor review and well-deserved bashing of "Kane & Lynch", a pretty all-round awful game, subsequently offending producers Eidos who had purchased considerable advertising space on said site (By today's standards it would be the equivalent of Gametrailers stating that Pringles taste like shit after all the trouble Procter & Gamble went to making massive ads that could slow down a f**king supercomputer even). Another member of editing staff, Alex Navarro resigned not long after this messy incident.

They lost all credibility to me after that, and they will never regain it.

The Fox News website.

Sometimes a friend wants me to see an article on there just to get a Lew Black-type diatribe out of me, but I usually end up having a seizure because of it so that's stopped.

It's not so much websites with me as it is corporations.

I dont have a list of boycotted sites, unless you mean that I will not give them money then yes, I am boycotting them. I, instead, have a list of "bat shit crazy sites that should be watched by the authorities"

Here is a sampling:

- http://rr-bb.com/ (Rapture Ready's bulletin board for its members. Every kind of idiotic thing you can think of has at least been presented once on this board as fact. Thinking of joining? Dont try it. Even if you are a christian, if they think your name isnt christian enough or your posts are too lenient, then you will be perma banned as an undercover atheist. Paranoia is reflected in almost every post on this board)

- http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm (there is nothing to do with a free republic to these people. Authoritarian and socially conservative all the way. Neo-con fascists)

- http://www.moonbattery.com/ (more like "bat shittery". Everything extreme right is worshipped here.)

- http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page ( no, this is not a parody, it is the real thing. This is what happens when you mix a group of theo-neo-cons with an encyclopedia..before long the book is burned and they have their own encyclopedia written. Check out their "atheism" article.)

- http://www.niggermania.com/ (occasionally a decent joke is posted, but thats all I can say good about this site. This people take racism to new levels with "wild nigger animal park saffari", "back to africa initiatives", anyone who calls them racist are really the ones who are racist, and, of course, this site is populated by right wingers who constantly scream that left wingers are the racist ones.)

- http://www.wnd.com/ (World Net Daily. Did you knwo there is no such thing as a conservative Republican atheist? Atheists are always Nazis and communists. Every kind of right wing conspiracy theory you can think of is published at least once a month in this hard right wing Christian nationalistic "news" source. Did you know liberals sacrifice their children to Baal when they have an abortion? No? Then you havent been reading WND.)

- http://buzz.yahoo.com/ (words cant describe how much I HATE the buzz. But for some reason I cannot avoid going to it everyday. The amount of hateful fascist and right winger arm chair warriors foaming at the mouth on tha site is disheartening to say the least. Just in the last 30 minutes I have seen several posts demanding the army to shoot down the union protests in Wisconsin, demands that gays be marooned on a desert island or executed, demands that Democrats be shot for treason, and the word "libtard" appears every 30 or less words on a page FULL of text)

- http://www.abovetopsecret.com/ (did you know that Obamas hair looked different a week ago. It wasnt as gray. This is proof that Obama has been assassinated and replaced with a reptillian! If you didnt know that happened, then you havent been keeping up at above top secret. The Denver international airport have conveyor systems under it to spead up the moving of citizens to the FEMA re-education camps and jet contrails are really mind control chemicals being sprayed on the citizens)

- http://www.baptistboard.com/ (did you know that if you are destracted by a lady during church, you should ask her to move far away from your sight so that she will no longer distract you from the word of the lord? Did you know that Obama is really an "atheist Muslim" who plans to turn America into a Communistic caliphate? This means he fits the criteria to be THE antichrist!)

- http://www.freeconservatives.com/ (If standing at the southern border loded to the teeth with guns and ammo waiting for a mexican to cross you path appeals to you, then you have found kindred spirits with free conservatives. How do we know its free? Because its theo-neo-con! Every white male christian knows that equals freedom!)

- I know its not a site, but you always want to stay away from Glenn Beck's chaulkboard. the nuttiest things have been drawn on it and presented as fact.

- http://www.wayofthemaster.com/ (did you know that stealing a paperclip or telling a little white lie is EXACTLY the same thing as murdering someone in the eyes of Christ Jesus? If you were unaware of this extremist viewpoint, then the shocked look you give them after they shove a camera and mic in your face after they ask you that question is proof that Gods righteous spirit dwells in and terrifies us all. Ask a mathematics major if he knows any evidence for evolution. If he cant produce any then Evolution has been debunked right on camera for all eyes to see.)

- http://www.afa.net/Blogs/ (Rightly Concerned not only means that he is correctly concerned, but right wing is correct thinking. Did you know you can make things up about democrats and publish them as truth as long as it is entertainment? Then this is the blog for you)

- http://www.stormfront.org/forum/ (white pride world wide is their motto...and if you askthem, no they are not racists..but if you call them racists then YOU are the racist Jew pawn.)

- http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/ (Yup, the classic. Not only can he NOT comprehend reality.. but he cant comprehend how to put together a decent website)
