Internet picks of the week

The Poke Cheryl Cole Gets Honorary GCSE, George Osborne "Ashamed" Of Father Ozzy, Jamie Oliver Found Dead: "Basted Then Roasted With Garlic And Rosemary": these are just some of the headlines at this satirical site that comes on like a British version of The Onion crossed with Private Eye crossed with a website that's got lots of funny links and brilliant YouTube clips. Employing excellent use of Photoshop's more basic techniques, news stories are accompanied by photographs such as Ken Livingstone with Boris Johnson's hair and the frankly horrific sight of David Cameron in Speedos. Elsewhere is the brilliant idea of an edition of Monopoly based on The Wire. "We hope The Wire Monopoly game will go down well not just with fans of the show," says a spokesman for game company Hasbro (allegedly), "but with everyone who secretly wishes to be a poor violent black drug dealer from America." Fifty People One Question Remember those idents Channel 4 used to run with a load of stars responding to a single cheeky question? Well, that's the deal here, except those answering are regular folk, resulting in a beautiful and touching series of short films shot in New York, New Orleans and London. The question: "Where would you wish to wake up tomorrow?" seems to puzzle plenty of Londoners. In a trio of friends, one answers, "Somewhere hot." His pals nod sagely before one adds, "Yeah, somewhere hot – with chips." A young couple reveal secrets in another film. "You know your cat that you think disappeared?" he says. "Well, I ran over it." Instead of hitting him she confesses that she has dozens of books filled with love poems about him. Ah, the madness of real life.
