Embarrass yourself!

Post the link to the single most embarrassing non-pornographic website you visit regularly. Regularly could mean once a day, once a week, once a month, or you’ve been there a couple times and you know you’ll go back. Post the one that’s truly embarrassing – the one you really don’t want to admit, the one that could change our impression of you.

I will post mine, but only after I see ten really good ones.

Go!

I mean I'm a freelance writer who has written for Nerve before, I visit it daily like I visit most places I'm published in order to keep abreast of my market. It's not pornographic but sometimes it's close. Other than that, I don't embarrass easily. I mean there's a 1500 word essay on the internet about losing the v-card and another about my trysts with an open-married professor in college.

The most embarrassing places I go on the internet are the DU Lounge, Facebook and OKCupid. Rarely, Babeland.

Also, I like looking at crafts on Etsy and Pinterest. Actually, that last part is kinda embarrassing.

...don't post a link to the DP category page at youporn or the thread will get shut down.

I'd love to read some of your writing.

so I won't bother listing all the nurseries I visit.

I'm afraid this confirms just how boring I am: http://www.thefryecompany.com It's embarrassing because I have 5 pairs of Frye boots already.

I have to confess it started because it was on one of the 82 trillion TVs they have at Planet Fitness and there was a time I always seemed to get the treadmill in front of it. After awhile I was picking the empty treadmill in front of that TV. Mind you they have the volume off but close captioning on.

Now I find when I'm at home and flipping the channels - if it's on I have to watch it.

And the crazy thing is this - WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE PARENTS THINKING???!!!

I can't believe anyone would do this to their kids. It's one thing if the child is able to think for themselves and make the choice like perhaps a child of 7 years of age or older (or even 6). But geez these 2-5 year old kids just scream like crazy while the mom is like 'Oh yes my child loves it'

Plus they ply their kids full of sugar - These giant pixie sticks are like kiddie crack and a mainstay of these competitions.

It's shameful I know!

It's a nonstop series of parenting diasters, and I can't peel my eyes away, sometimes. The behaviors and values they're modeling and teaching their daughters are so wrong, on so many levels, that it boggles the mind. And, yeah, I saw an episode where one of the pagent moms or coordinators referred to those gigantic Pixie Sticks as "pagent crack!"

OK...the Mr. and I have a special anniversary coming up in less than 5 years.

We have talked about going to Cardiff Wales and so I started checking it out and found these
sites on the nets about Cardiff after dark.

Now I look for more sites like these just because I think they are trippy.
Here are a few"

(Well, that's two, sorry.)

I'm so shallow.

I used to go to that one with the interactive smart-ass bot, too.... but I don't remember its name. It was kind of addictive.

not exactly your topic, but, i was looking up on the x factor judges for this years x factor usa, i am worried britney spears could have a break down, she looks really nervous.

well anyway, this cracks me up, if you have seen simon cowell he has a quirky style and look to him, well he has been modelled into a "meme" called "son i am disappoint", this will make you laugh when you see simon cowell on the x factor haha

oh well x factor usa auditions have finished now, is anyone auditioning for the american idol 2015 this year? http://theamericanidol2015.blogspot.com/

currently we are near the end of this years american idol 2014 so the auditions will be quite soon afterwards.

There are a few regressive sites that give a strong indication that their members' lives are so pathetic, they spend all of their online time stalking DU members who mention their personal lives, then use that information to reveal how lacking in character & human decency their regressive membership can be. If a DUer mentions going through a hardship, those mental midgets become full of glee & are more than delighted to reveal just how low they can go by making fun of it because their own self-esteem is so low.

I like to keep an eye on these sites because doing so actually serves as a good reminder of the evils that share the internet. And, although I know many DUers are aware of these sites, I mention this for the DUers who don't know about them. Be careful what you say about your personal lives.
