Addicted to blogs that use and abuse irony and irreverence

I've always thought that people who take life too seriously have little to contribute. Laughing, being happy and seeing the funny side of things always makes me happier. Lately I have become addicted to two blogs: Dispensável (blogdispensavel.blogspot.com) and Te Dou Um Dado?.

"Carioca, dark, sensual." This is the description of the owner of the Dispensável blog. A new hit in the blogosphere, the blog makes (great) satire and jokes not only about issues in the gay world, but also about celebrities and "the clowns of the world". 

Written by a carioca (see how few cariocas I know have a good sense of humor), the blog arose from the need for its author to share his daily good humor with friends. Bingo. After just over a month, it became a hit online.

In his first post, the author, who intends not to reveal himself, says: "Well, I surrendered... everyone has a blog nowadays, so I decided to create mine too. Okay, you can criticize that I'm following the fashion trend, which I did just because everyone has them. Okay, that's it, I'm going with the fashion trend; except for wearing All Star with plaid shorts, because I have limits."

My second addiction is the now famous Tedouumdado.com.br. It follows a similar line, but different from the Rio blog, written only by a gay man, this one already has an "Editorial". Written by the trio Polly, Lele and Didi, the gay member of the trio, who gave an exclusive interview to the website The Cape, the blog is now an absolute success. It already has a portal and, I believe, some processes behind its back, as the specialty of the "vehicle" is to target type B personalities, media gaffes and outting (taking people out of the closet).

Apparently, it's just the beginning of a lighter and more ironic life. 

I can assure you that I have a list of people who should read this blog more!
