The Internet is a Playground: Irreverent Correspondences of an Evil Online Genius provides a collection of articles and e-mails gathered from the author's online black humor site which attracts more than four million visitors monthly, and is best known for the 'Missing Missy' dialogue about a lost cat. It consists of hilarious e-mail correspondences that have seemingly prompted recipients to near-suicide (or violence at the least) and chatty commentary about everything from items for sale to items lost. A wonderful, hilarious read, this should be in the humor section of any lending library.
