Website of the week: The Poke

I had never taken note of it but it has some pretty funny content. This is the website that did the Nick Clegg "I'm sorry" You Tube song.

The Poke is a British satirical website. It was launched in 2002 as a fanzine distributed at the Edinburgh Festival and independent music stores. The website is known for producing viral videos, which are often Auto-Tune edits of British current affairs.

The Poke says of itself: "The Poke is the biggest humour site in the UK with over 5 Million unique users globally viewing up to 10 Million videos, stories and pictures per month.

Our aim is to administer an antidote to the daily grind delivering a mix of homemade and hand-picked distractions. A mash-up of memes, reader challenges, spoof news stories and photoshop magic.

Original content on the site is produced by a collective of up-and-coming writers, performers, designers and video mixologists."
