Lisa told me in the office yesterday that she heard about Ask A Ninja on NPR, a website where people email in questions and the Ask A Ninja Ninja answers them on videos, with sporadic, ironic, postmodern answers that I find quite hilarious. I’m hooked. I found this “entry” quite funny, as Ask A Ninja Ninja “celebrates” (?) the the 10th annual South by Southwest Web Awards, noting the changes over the last 10 years (“we’ve seen the transition from reality tv to online social networking, or as I like to call it, LIES”).

Ask A Ninja can be really funny. I think they are somehow related to SNL or MadTV–but I could be wrong. Funny, AAN in an academic blog… gotta love it!
