Saturday Morning Funnies: Narcissism Edition

2006_11_25Uncyclopedia.jpg
Here on Torontoist, we try not to post inane links okay, who are we kidding? There is a hilarious piece of the read/write web out there called Uncyclopedia, a parody of Wikipedia.
Even greater is the Toronto entry, which starts:

Toronto is (as everyone knows) the centre of time, space and the universe in general – a car accident in Toronto will inevitably cause a rift in the spacetime continuum. The greatest city known to man. Atlantis was but a pale imitation to the wonders of Toronto; Lake Ontario is saturated with the tears of those that, beholding the city’s glory, broke down knowing that their place of origin will never match Toronto.

We thought this seemed particularly fitting in the context of tomorrow’s book launch, the latest addition the Planet Toronto galaxy.

    That entire entry is amazing – as is Uncyclopedia as a whole.

    The average house in Toronto is priced at 847 gazillion dollars. This slightly high market has forced a small number of middle class families into more affordable housing in the Cardboard Box District. The average price for a 2 room, double corrugated home here is a reasonable 564 gazillion dollars. New developments in the Cardboard Box District are now offering starter homes with pre-installed urination corner and bonus “microwave box” for additional storage, or use as a guest room. Deals can also be had by savvy Queen Street East (above) investors, who are one step behind those in “the District”.

    Nice.

    I like this one too.

    My most favourite part is this:
    “Toronto is renowned for being the only city in the entire world that everyone who doesn’t live there hates.”
