Wi-Fi dog provides Internet to stranded horse

Have you ever found yourself reading The Onion and thinking, "The best part of these are the headlines?" Sometimes a headline and a photo is all satire needs to nail the point home. Hell, a picture's worth a thousand words, right? True American Dog is a Photoshop blog that started humbly in '08 as a "let's Photoshop funny images of dogs," and has evolved into a hilarious picture gallery of quirky all-American fun. Perhaps a slightly-less abstract and more comedic relative to Exploding Dog, T.A.D offers random, absurdist depictions of many of our national preoccupations (dogs, soda, horses, Internet, bald eagles, holiday cheer, etc ...) — blended together in bizarre combinations. It's the kind of website even the snarkiest postmodern hipster can enjoy with his mom (and I did!). Letting the headlines and the photos do all the talking, it has an archive that could be entirely consumed in about 20 minutes — allowing time for varying lengths of laugh breaks. To date, T.A.D. has been listed on Neatorama and Blogs of Note, and it seems to be gaining more steam each day. So tomorrow, if you find yourself a snowed in denizen of your local Wi-Fi hot-spot, enjoy these absurd visions of twisted Americana.
