At its heart, FARK is a news agreggator, harnessing the power of thousands of contributors who dig out the funniest, most controversial and strangest material on the Internet.

The FARK faithful submit thousands of links every day, making the site a model of participatory democracy. But only a fraction of those links make it on the site. Drew Curtis, the founder of FARK, is the filter through which every link passes before it makes it to the front page.

We caught up with Curtis at a Sports by Brooks event in Sacramento.

I'm suprised that there is anything left here but a smoldering crater where badmouth used to be. I expected my host would pull the plug if it got this bad, but evidently no one noticed the huge clouds of smoke pouring from the side of one of their servers.

Sure navigating the site is now like swimming through molasses, but it's worth it as long as I know that I'm the next best thing to a boobies link.

For bonus fun, see if you can guess which day we got FARKed using only the above chart.
