But that doesn't mean you can't waste countless hours mousing through this catalogue of movie stars and the roles they turned down, auditioned 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 that dares to tell the truth. Huh Corp's strategy: "Convince clients that we do stuff they can't do themselves.")
