Website of the Week: 300 Reviews

Let's say you are you, but a you with a serious distaste for camouflage. Or perhaps, after years of hearing your one friend talk endlessly about how he ran a marathon ten years ago, you've finally had enough. Or maybe you grew up in a family that didn't hide the fact that the best place to catch up on your Rolling Stone subscription is right on the john. Don't let your feelings of rage or anger or pride bottle up inside you anymore! There is now an outlet for us to express ourselves about the things we rarely get to express ourselves about (like lemon-lime citrus drinks): 300Reviews.com.

And the fact that they are only on #62/300 means there is still plenty of room for your diatribe. I know I personally would love to write about how crappy people on public transportation are, but sadly someone has already beat me to the punch.
