How to Embarrass Yourself Online

Over the past few years we've seen the rise of a sad, but true trend in popular Internet culture. Instead of keeping our humiliating moments, inebriated half-memories, and cringe-worthy family photos to ourselves, we now flock to public websites and eagerly post them for all to see.

For most of us, these sites are places to visit for pure entertainment value while we pretend to be doing something productive at work. However, if you happen to be one of the brave souls who actually aspires to participates in the act of sharing your embarrassing moments online, you're in luck. Here is your guide to the best places to humiliate yourself online.

If you're not familiar with FML, this website can best be described as a place to anonymously vent about why your life sucks. Actual example:
