core gamers since its launch on the web. After a
recent acquisition/merger with growing online

Bepaid
bepaid.com
Ready to download yet another program onto
your computer that will earn you money for
watching ads? Bepaid.com is slightly different
because it caters the ads to your interests and
you select which ones to view based on the
amount of money the advertisers are offering.
Payment per ad ranges from 55 cents to $2 and
they average a little less than 2 minutes in length.
The only limit to the amount of time you can
spend watching ads is your sanity, so go ahead
and register. Warning: Bepaid.com is only avail
able for PCs, Mac users will just have to make
their money working the corner. TMaor

FrozenFeline
Frozenfeline.com
While some people use the Internet to convey
important messages to an audience that is wider
and more diverse than anything that they could
have possibly reached otherwise, others just use
it to goof off. Such is the case at
frozenfeline.com, an oddball archive of absurd
senselessness. From their colorful clip art of
dancing monkeys to ridiculous filmettes,
FrozenFeline’s visually stimulating art is as funny
as it is engaging. The best feature of this wacky
site is their goal of rhyming in as much of their
prose as possible—it makes for very interesting
reading, especially in the responses of their sex
advice columnist. JLowenthal
