StumbleUpon is an InterWeb community which allows users to customize drama to their personal tastes. Through the user blog pages you can discover all types of shitty art, and by using the toolbar you can see the same flash animations that you're already sick of.

[edit] WTF is SU?

StumbleUpon may appear to be a toolbar to install in your browser of choice, but the true features (ie. pure, unadulterated drama) naturally only come alive in the community aspects.

SU has user blogs where mediocre photography and bad poetry can live side by side and a forum section to group sites and form cliques.

Surprisingly, most of the drama is in the forums. In the "core forums," a pentangle of immaculate posting, the admins regularly delete threads and ban users for "unnecessary" posting. Many lulz were had over user Squirt's permanent ban from one (or possibly two) forum(s).

Additional drama comes from the friends network, where you can either fawn, be a minor internet celebrity, or simply surf people's blogs for pr0n.

For bonus points use a naked pic of yourself as an avatar and post in the Happy Birthday forum.

[edit] Content

99% of the sites you'll come across in any given category will consist of lolcats, child porn, old memes, Chuck Norris jokes, shitty portal references, Ron Paul fanbois and that webpage you just saw 5 minutes ago. The users are the only thing worse than the websites - Everyone will comment by simply copying and pasting some sentence found on the website, followed by either "lol" "XD" or "love it!". For example, a stumbleupon review of ED would probably look like:
