CAKEWRECKS: Rhetorical Amusement for the Immature of Heart

TO ALL CAKETASTIC VIEWERS:
For those neat freaks and perfectionists out there, cakewrecks.blogspot.com is not for you. However, if you love to make fun of yourself and enjoy satire of the human race, this site is a goldmine of cold-hard comedy. Although inappropriate at times, cakewrecks contributes to society's daily laughter. Throughout this blog, I will analyze the various rhetorical techniques that make cakewrecks so darn funny. If you are ever caught up in a busy or tiring day, cakewrecks is just the site to spark your funny bone and send you on your way in a silly mood.

PICTURES THAT WILL MAKE YOU PEE:
The basis behind cakewrecks.blogspot.com's hilarious nature is found within a daily spectrum of pictures. Every day, a new article is published describing a new disastrous theme of cakes gone wrong; each defended by images that are filled with subtle, or not so subtle, humor. While some pictures are funny because of misspellings or funny sayings, most are just plain ridiculous. For example, examine this photo of a construction mermaid.

Without the use of photos, cakewrecks wouldn't be worth a single laugh. Because of the terrible cakes that people have designed over the past few years, viewers around the world can have their day made by a single picture. When it comes to blogging, visualization is key; the layout is essential. Under these circumstances I would have to say that cakewrecks is a complete success of a blog. You know that a picture is funny when it takes a single viewer ten minutes just to read all of the comments posted about how hilarious it is. Overall, I would have to say that images are cakewreck's specialty, inspiring all people to laugh at the follies of human nature. (Now, so readers are aware: cakewrecks.blogspot.com does have certain articles that contain questionable images. But don't worry; it is pretty obvious in the titles of the articles that the content within is rated PG-13 or higher)

THE LANGUAGE IN HUMOR
One of my favorite aspects of cakewrecks is the commentary. Although I feel that the images are essential and take first priority, commentary is like the icing on a cake. With each and every photo that is placed on the blog, commentary either precedes or follows. In fact, I have often not understood why a particular cake is being shown until I read the commentary. The commentary is always the punch line to the visual joke. Before becoming a fan of this blog, I never truly understood the power of the language-image combo. Putting these two aspects of humor together causes each reader to at least smile. Perhaps this is why comic strips in the newspaper have become a reader favorite: because the language makes the silly pictures even more humorous. Within the various comments, I have found some pretty profound, yet subtle, rhetoric. In the case of cakewrecks, it is the sole purpose of the author to make their audience laugh, so delivery is extremely important. In some comments, there are jokes; in others, sexual connotation; and a rare few (my personal favorites), a description of irony. In the final case, you might see a display of many cakes with a single word spelled wrong over and over again.


However, cakewrecks likes to trick people by showing a cake that has the correct spelling, but then has another flaw, like another misspelled word or a baking error. When it comes to cakewrecks, language truly has been utilized properly, allowing each reader to get the fullest pleasure out of each individual joke.


IS CAKEWRECKS RIGHT FOR ME?
As a big cakewrecks fan, I would definitely have to say yes. I can't possibly think of one possible human being who wouldn't like or appreciate at least one aspect of the site. At least, if there is a person out there, they must be heartless or to vain to laugh at the flaws within themselves and society as a whole. Cakewrecks is a symbol for finding happiness and humor in a world of imperfection. Because there is no "perfect" person or group of people, cakewrecks truly is for everyone. On the site there are jokes that children will think are funny. I constantly find articles on the site where there are "battles" against the male and female sexes. Cakewrecks brings up issues in the workplace, in the family, and in our dealings with our fellow human beings. Cakewrecks loves to reveal the comedy in preparing for holidays, birthdays, and weddings, including possibilities where everything that possibly could goes wrong. Cakewrecks has jokes for young and old, immature and polite, inappropriate or moral. No matter who you are, cakewrecks has at least one article that will make you want to pee your pants. In real life, things constantly go wrong and we get discouraged. At the same time, cakewrecks shows how we can pick ourselves up and move on, looking behind at a funny memory that will make the best story for the future. Although cakewrecks.blogspot.com is only a simple blog, what it stands for is extremely powerful, and can be applied towards any audience.
