Satire for Smart People; The Truth for You  As the publisher of a site that gets a fair amount of traffic, I get pitches from tons of PR firms wanting me to link to or post content about their linkbait list, new flash game or unfunny movie. I'd say 99% of these pitches get archived without a second glance. However there are times when I get asked by the actual creators of content to take a look at their material, and that's much more rewarding. • Daily Links - 9/8/10<p><a href="http://yourmindblown.com/post/1060150048/largest-swimming-pool-in-the-world-mind-blown" target="_blank">World's Largest Pool</a> - Wow, that's big.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazingsuperpowers.com/2010/09/bad-pizza-12/" target="_blank">Bad Pizza</a> - There's no such thing as bad pizza.</p> <p><a href="http://arstechnica.com/web/news/2010/09/the-top-web-scams-of-the-decade.ars" target="_blank">Top Web Scams</a> - Of the decade.</p> <p><a href="http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2010/09/03/duke-nukem-forever-revived-by-gearbox-planned-for-2010/" target="_blank">He's Back</a> - Duke Nuke'm rumors never end.</p> <p><a href="http://news.discovery.com/earth/yellowstone-hot-spot-shreds-ancient-pacific-ocean.html" target="_blank">Hot Spot</a> - The USA has torn an entire tectonic plate in half!
