- Apple's Get a Mac Ads (Even the
staunchest Windows supporter has to admit the new "Get a

for, got fired from, or didn't get.)
- Huh? Corp (Does anyone really know what they're doing? At Huh
Corp, not only are they clueless about business, they come out and say
so. This parody site riffs on corporate America's obsession with
nonsensical buzz words by giving visitors a fake consulting company

clients that we do stuff they can't do themselves.")
