The site, in 2000
A US humour webzine of pop-culture and political parody, founded by John Aboud and Michael Colton and published until 2003.
Its board included Jon Stewart and producer Frank Marshall, and its writers included Andy Borowitz and Jake Tapper. It produced three books and was a Webby humour nominee in 2001 and 2004, losing to The Onion both times.
In 2000: Founded by John Aboud and Michael Colton, with Kate Barker as chief executive.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
