Culture Buzz That's right. Urlesque is hosting an abomination tomorrow (09/09/09) in the form of an Internet-wide ban on cats. In protest of this outrage, I will be posting a cat every hour on my cat-related BuzzFeed, Every Day Is Caturday. Please join me by submitting your cat-related media to Caturday and by posting the Caturday widget to your own blogs or sites. As you will notice, the widget is cute and has cats on it. Stand with me in solidarity!
In response to the Day Without Megan Fox, Urlesque is pulling the plug for an entire day on any and all coverage of the Internet's second biggest time-waster: those pesky kitties.
Tech Buzz A tech-savvy Internet-lover's worst nightmare? The curse of the GOOGLEGANGER — or, that person online that shares your name and might even beat you in a Google search. Please enjoy this podcast, featuring a truly priceless rant from Buzzfeed favorite (and Community Manager) Jack Shepherd on his LOST Googleganger. Also, feel free to share any photos or stories of your own despised name twin, if you have one.
When you're a chihuahua overcome by a violent case of the hiccups, it's easy to find yourself in the throws of mind-boggling, seizure-like chaos. DON'T FALL OVER! If you thought this was cute, we have three words for you: hiccuping orphaned otter. You're welcome. (More at Urlesque)
Nosferatu & Lady Gaga: a match made in heaven? Either way, this German expressionist vampire has some serious moves.
Tech Buzz An important unspoken interweb rule is that one must always preface information that sounds salacious with a SFW or NSFW tag. Of course, the definition of “work” is subjective, so writers have taken it upon themselves to put creative touches on their NSFW warnings. Urlesque has got the best of the best — and you know what that means: LOTS OF NSFW links!
There's a lot that one can wrestle in, but whoever thought of cole slaw really gets it.

BuzzFeed wins site of the year at the 2008 Urlies! Aw, shucks, guys. We hardly know what to say. Actually, we wrote a few things down just in case something like this ever happened: “We could not have done this without the support of Disaster Girl, the wisdom of Zombie McCain, or the inspiration of Lois Feldman. Chris Cooley's penis, the Shiba Inu puppies, and everyone else we're forgetting, thank you all!!!”
