LAist's New Huge URL

Women like little things: iPod Nanos. Miatas. Engagement rings. Tom Cruises.

Men, we like big things.

There hasn't been a television made that I would say, "Oh no, that's too big for the living room."

We like gigantic tubs of margarine, we like monster truck tires on our Hummers, and we like heaping mounds of mashed potatoes to be served with virtually every meal.

A few years ago a website called TinyUrl popped up, promising to shrink really long web page URLs (like those found on commercial web sites, large newspapers, or Google maps search results) into itsy-bitsy short URLs.

Today we learned about HugeURL.com, a man's web site. One that converts perfectly fine URLs into hilariously long ones. After the jump see what happened to http://www.LAist.com ...
