We're an on-line community devoted to cornering smart-assedness on the Web.

Some of North America's funniest writers, designers and programmers saw a gaping void in cultural commentary. However, they all had real jobs and lives and such, so we stole their idea.

Let's face it: not everyone gets jazzed reading unironic, publicity-minded Net poop. Independent Web voices are sometimes hard to find; funny Web voices can be even harder. The Net used to be brief and biting, now it's often vague and corporate. How convenient: Here we are to fill the void.

It's been a long, dusty road to the middle for TVHole. In May of '97, we were begging Net surfers to stop by and read our insightful television criticism, if only to artificially inflate our hit count. Today, we're begging you, the savvy Net expert, to stop by and read our insightful television criticism, if only to artificially inflate our hit count.

In September of '97, it was time for SportsHole, and Frank Gifford, Jerry Reinsdorf and Dennis Rodman will never be the same. At SportsHole, we promise to go the extra mile for the team, and give it 110%. Oh, and surveys. We got surveys.

Then in early '98, we realized that we wanted real lives, a goal inconsistent with being funny every darn day. So HoleCity was born, and we went weekly. We've got a theme each week, but as often as not ignore it. We've added the FiveHole, MovieHole, AdHole, and all sorts of other Holes. And we've started our syndication program in alternative weeklies around the country.

And there's more to come. In the coming months, we'll be premiering a new dynamic site with all sorts of bells and whistles. So keep coming back. Eventually everybody laughs.
