Awesome F-35B Video Shows US Marines Already Have Transformers
This short video blows the mind, revealing that technology like that of the favorite boy’s action figures turned blockbuster Hollywood SciFi/Action flick “The Transformers” already exists today. And who else to be working on it but the U.S. Military. Oooh. The video is well worth the watch, and while I won’t give anything away, I’ll [...]

Why of all the National Geographic videos its website pumps out each day is this the one that gets so widelyt linked? The Freak Factor. Shock value. None of us can resist a glimpse into the bizarre, in this case a entire webbed-fingered family. As this piece exemplifies, contrary to popular belief most of the world’s [...]

Sex sells; we all know it. But it’s hard to find new and novel ways to capitalize on sex without crossing dangerous (and costly) legal boundaries that could force you out of the terrain of the all-ages internet and into the Adults Only domain. Fashion has always been our leader in this area, and it [...]

Any site with an audience interested in Design (graphic designers, web designers, game designers, even architects) - and there are a LOT of them - have good reason to link to this piece. I don’t even use Photoshop, but this page of pretty CG water effects makes me want to learn how. The fact that [...]

The only time nudity might be more popular online than when it’s rated X is when its PG-13. Non-sexual nudity reaches a whole swath of the internet market that would otherwise go untouched. We like watching naked people do goofy things. In part of our cultural make-up. Like watching an HBO version of America’s Funniest [...]

Trying to think of great link bait for your niche site? Already done all the Best Of… and Worst Of… lists you can think of? (I seriously doubt it, but let’s pretend you have.) Then how about a Most Under-Appreciated list? That’s what VideoHound’s Golden Movie Retriever did. And by doing it with a niche [...]

Monday, September 8, 2008
Since Urlesque has already dominated the nominee list this fine Monday, lets add one more of their masterworks of link bait, a collection of “serious” YouTube clips made not-so-serious through the irreverent addition of a laugh track. I dare anyone to try and watch these versions of “The Wire”, “Your World with Neil Cavuto”, “Star [...]

Yesterday’s gamers are today’s… gamers. Video game aficionados never die, they just start over (and over and over again). When I was young, Super Mario Bros. was just being introduced. Now video games have evolved to sci-fi futuristic proportions, and guys my age are now playing revamped versions of the pioneering game with their boys. [...]

Yesterday I posted the first Link Bait Hall of Fame nomination related to this year’s presidential election, a video about John McCain’s disconnect with the “common man”. In the interest of fairness, this second nomination regards his Democratic opponent, Barack Obama (although this video is a lampoon, not an indictment). It’s a hilarious reimagining of [...]

OK, I can’t avoid the presidential election any longer. Not with such a preponderance of stellar link bait circulating the web that’s either praising, lambasting, or merely lampooning one of the other of the candidates. This one, about the $10-per-spot Phoenix lot McCain rents to the Arizona Diamondbacks, is link bait for anti-McCain site, TheRealMcCain.com.
