World's Most Boring Website release on PRWeb

2007-11-05T07:00:00.000-05:00

The press release for the World's Most Boring Website is now live on PRWeb. You can find it here.

They keep rotating the "pull quote" they use but here's the one we last saw:

We wanted to do 'boring' right, so we put some time and effort into creating WorldsMostBoringWebsite.Com and we believe it's worthy of the title 'world's most boring website.

"World's Most Boring Website" Now Online!

2007-11-05T06:22:00.000-05:00

WorldsMostBoringWebsite.Com takes "boring" to a new level.

Miami, Florida -- November 5, 2007 -- CurioZities, LLC announces the launch of the novelty website http://WorldsMostBoringWebsite.Com with the purpose of elevating "boring" to an art form, according to Manager Frank Calderon.

"There are plenty of boring websites on the World Wide Web; some are intentionally boring... but many are unintentionally boring," Calderon explained. "We wanted to do 'boring' right, so we put some time and effort into creating WorldsMostBoringWebsite.Com and we believe it's worthy of the title 'world's most boring website.'"

The satirical WorldsMostBoringWebsite.Com includes a virtual "reading room" of sleep-inducing reading materials, a gallery of photos (black and white, of course) of grass growing, links to other boring websites, a page left intentionally blank and more. Even the comedic site's terms of service page is described as capable of putting "a 250-dollar-an-hour lawyer to sleep." And WorldsMostBoringWebsite.Com was designed to bore: almost everything is in gray on a simple white background and most of the text is in a plain font.

WorldsMostBoringWebsite.Com is a spin-off of curioZities' TheHumorlessTwit.Com website, which itself grew out of the humor column The Humorless Twit, which Calderon writes for Flamenco, the monthly newsletter of Miami Mensa.

"To paraphrase our boring vision and mission statements, we're hoping WorldsMostBoringWebsite.Com will bore web surfers and cure insomnia, one visitor at a time!" Calderon added, laughing.

"We're starting the serialization of War and Peace on Friday November 2, 2007, and will offer a new chapter in sequence each Friday after that," said Frank Calderon, Manager of Curiozities, LLC.
