Kongregate | www.kongregate.com
If you’re serious about that promotion, stay away from Kongregate. Its colossal collection of games will kill most of your day before you know it. The site runs on a point system so you’re really working hard to “level up” in a virtual environment, rendering it ultimately pointless.

Failblog | failblog.org
Step aside, KPI; enter The Chronicles of Failure. From the silliest of tweets to newspaper headlines, fashion faux pas, videos, photos and even Facebook updates, Failblog fulfils your need for distraction.

Awkward Family Photos | www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com
The best way to get over the horror of your own family photos is to laugh at other people’s.
