Internet Corner: What Would Tyler Durden Do
WWTDD.com
Ignore eating full chocolate bars or gallons of ice cream. Never mind going into a pool and ‘accidentally’ swimming a little too close to the water jets. Hell, forget masturbation. Everyone knows that the best guilty pleasure is celebrity gossip. You can’t help but love knowing when a star is humbled by a sex romp or drug abuse or be intrigued when they do something so outlandish that it’s all you can talk about for days.
On What Would Tyler Durden Do, an extreme gossip columnist, taking on the persona of the legendary figment of Edward Norton’s imagination from ‘Fight Club,’ does nothing but report what celebrities are up to and how bizarre they really are. No one is safe from his wrath: actors, singers, models, companies, fictional characters; all celebrities from Grade A to F. He even has a list so you can find the latest gossip about your favorite star with little effort.
The best part about the site is that Durden doesn’t just report the facts; he adds his own commentary. When someone does something dumb, Durden calls him or her on it using the most profane language and analogies available. For instance, when talking about the latest exploits of Scientology, Durden exclaimed that he has to start ‘hanging out’ with more girls who believe in it, because they can be tricked into doing anything. He means anything.
So next time you are wondering how the other half lives, or fails at living, check out WWTDD to appease some of those guilty pleasures. For Pete’s sake, get out of the pool!
