The Meatrix
Part  exposé of the evils of factory farming, part food consciousness agitprop, and part spoof of "The Matrix" films, "The Meatrix," and its recently released sequel "The Meatrix II: Revolting," depict the adventures of a pig named Leo and a hunky, spiffily dressed bull named Moopheus. When the two first meet, the wise, hyper-enunciating bull (speaking in a dead-on Laurence Fishburne imitation) offers the chubby little swine a chance to see the truth of his rural homeland ("Do you want to know What. It. Is?"). Leo obligingly swallows the red pill and embarks on a tour of corporate agriculture's dark side. If you choose not to take the pill, or even if you take it and disagree with what Moopheus has to say, the site is nonetheless worth checking out, if only as a lively, witty, and sharp example of the Web used well.
