Web Of Lies | Aug 19 2000

Dave’s Web of Lies is not very interesting, so don’t go there. I think it’s a cultural thing: Dave appears to be English, and most of his jokes are English-seeming. The site presents a Lie of the Day and includes lies from Celebrity Liars. The current such person, author and actor Stephen Fry, makes the not very funny claim that Belgian males remove their trousers while driving. Probably this plays better in England. Fry also states – and again the humor of this escapes me – that “journalism is an honourable profession, attracting some of the most talented and thoughtful minds in the world. Its aim is to inform, elucidate and uplift the human spirit.” I mean, there has to be at least one person in the world who actually believes that statement for it to have even a chance of being funny. The same goes for the Belgian thing. This site gets only one and a half “CROWBARS.”
