Welcome to the internet edition of Webshites. For the people who never saw the Chaser newspaper (there are many of you), this column is all about finding bad webpages. It’s like a tour of the Internet, if that tour was a Contiki tour. And this week the tour stops at online shopping venues. North Korea’s Official Online store  A one-stop shop for phallic cartoons If you want a gulag-built souvenir of the world’s only remaining Stalinist regime, but want it from the comfort of your own home, the Korean Friendship Association have an “ecommerce solution” for you. Popular items include the State Symphony Orchestra volume 5 CD and Mass Gymnastics, 60th Birthday Kim Jong Il DVD. You can even choose which manufacturer you’d like to produce your goods, as long as the answer is Pochonbo Electric. North Korea may have put a stop to that UN food aid nonsense, but that doesn’t stop them panhandling for fertilizer online. Buy a 100 kilos of fertilizer for only 10 euros (note: All money received will be delivered by hand on 12th October to the: KOCHANG COOPERATIVE FARM). Savings are mandatory! But beware - going to the linked address http://www.kfashop.com/ produces an error message in Spanish. Steven Seagal’s Official Website  Seagal adapts his only facial expression for his album cover as well Steven may have been a major Hollywood star in 1992, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have time to run his own official webpage, which celebrates his love of music, Buddhism, hitting people and the exclamation mark. Oh, and scamming people: “Be sure to check out Steven Seagal's Online Store! It will feature a variety of products and merchandise. Products like Steven's Essential oils and his very own Energy Bar!” Instead of having just one online store, Steven likes to spread them out through the site. One of them just sells his CD: “The general public knew through his many films of action but it is another facet of his personality which emerges in 2004! This enthusiastic follower of Buddhism delivers an awesome album already bubbling on the charts in France ! The "Songs From The Crystal Cave CD will be available for purchase on this website soon ! Ingredients: Steven Seagal delivers titles to the American ultra consonances (blues, folk) but also of more directed songs world (ragga, Arab musics). Surrounded by prestigious guests (B.B. King, Stevie Wonder...), the actor adds a new cord to his arc! To note: the presence of a poster dedicated inside the small pocket for all his fans!” Steven doesn’t mention that he is playing a character called “Cock Puncher” in the upcoming Untitled Onion Movie. Amish Clothing Online  The Amish believe in forgoing all modern technology, from cars to convincing fake beards Plainlydressed.com specializes in selling “Traditional Amish - Mennonite - Plain & Other Conservative Clothing Styles & Headcoverings.” It even has a service to take your current suit collection and make them less offensive to God, if you can’t afford to splash out on Amish jackets. But this “is a very tedious, difficult task, and it is hard to find people who can do this very well. We are blessed to be able to provide this service to you by a very qualified and accomplished seamstress. Your Suit-Coat will look exactly like the plain, button-front coat pictured at the top of this page. It will have a plain, banded, stand-up collar and no lapels like your old Englisch-style coat.” The site has lots of information about how to buy clothes 150 years out of fashion, and not so much information about how people who use horses instead of cars are allowed to buy things over the internet.
