Around the Interwebs - NSFW edition

Some of the links this week are NSFW (Not safe for work) Therefore, if you're on your office network or easily offended, you should probably skip the rest of the newsletter.

1. Introducing the next level of social networking - ThankYourWank. We'll let them explain how it works: "Thankyourwank.com enables you to vote for people you masturbate to. By doing this you give something to them in exchange for all the wonderful times they've given you, you also get to see how many people do it while thinking about you. It's free, it's anonymous, and it's fucking awesome. What's even better is that you can sign up for mutual wank alerts. This means that if said person ever +1s you, BANG! you get a mutual wank alert."

 

2. Best rap video ever. Rappers prove their swagga by expressing their complete apathy about a range of things. Then, comedian Jon Lajoie has produced the best rap song ever by not giving a f*ck about anything at all...

 

 

3. Every day foods made with disgusting ingredients. Vanilla ice cream is mixed with beaver urine and other facts you don't want to know.

 

4. Who cares what's in it? The Walking Taco is an excellent solution if you're on the go...

 

5. The Princeton Review has come out with their annual list of the Top 20 Party Schools in the US. Wealthy, Chinese parents, here's where NOT to send your kids for an overseas education...

That's all. And have an awesome weekend, Beijing!
