BonzoBox maximizes your Internet efficiency by providing a convenient plate of everything you need or want to see, regardless of source, in one convenient location. You’ll save so much time using our site, you may find yourself in a precarious situation… what to do with the sudden influx of free time?
Obviously working is out of the question. If you start working harder now, your supervisors will surely realize just how little effort you’ve been putting in before this. We can also take increased attention to personal hygiene, Internet dating, and reading Shia LaBeouf related blogs off the list of possible time fillers, as they will all leave you worse off in the long run. No, the best way to fill all that new free time is obvious: Find more ways to waste time on the Internet.
We’ve already told you about two good options: TheDirty.com and TMZ.com. Now let’s dive a little deeper. For those of you that love dirt on famous people, but are too wrapped up in sports scores and stories to know who Miley Cyrus is or have never spent a weekend at ASU, Deadspin.com is the site for you.
The Site is a home for all sports-related news, not just the stuff you see Scott Van Pelt talking about on SportsCenter. The site’s tagline says it all: “Sports News Without Access, Favor, or Discretionâ€. It provides a unique service in a time when sports news is dominated by only a few major mediums. Want to know the latest on Brett Favre’s looming comeback? They have it. Want to know the progress of Gilbert Arenas’s $1 million dollar pool (with a grotto)? They have it. Want to see a picture of Brady Quinn looking ridiculous? Not tough to find, but they have that in spades.
Deadspin is a well-trafficked site for good reason. The ability to see esteemed athletes and media members acting like regular people or worse is downright addictive. Don’t believe us? Add Deadspin.com to your BonzoBox homepage and find out for yourself.
Take advantage of all that free time. Check out Deadspin.com, read about famous athletes making questionable decisions, and be happy. Oh, and get your friends signed up for BonzoBox.
