Finally, an entire website devoted to our favorite cheap "this thing looks like that thing" posts! "The Times they aren't a changing" seems to have been at it for a month now, but it wasn't until today that its enterprising (Post-employed) proprietor brought it to our attention. The lesson, learned time and time again, is that things were so much awesomer back in the day. 2007's Putting on Weight for Football Glory vs 1910's A game for fat boys? We know which one would make it to the top of our most emailed list. In the interests of fairness, though, we should note that no one is immune to this curse of repetition. Much like n+1, we've dug through the lengthy archives and found a number of ancient Gawker blabberings that read suspiciously familiar.
