History
"The Best Page in the Universe" originated from a text document that Maddox wrote in 1996 which listed fifty things that "pissed him off." He gave the list to several people on EFnet's #codes, and the positive response led him to create the website.
Maddox decided to name his site "The Best Page in the Universe" despite his knowledge that Yahoo! blocked sites with the phrase "the best" in the title from inclusion in its search engine.Maddox. "100 million faces rocked". The Best Page in the Universe. March 18, 2005.
Initially, between 1998 and 1999, Maddox's pages were short and posted several times per month. As updates became less frequent, articles became longer. Presently, Maddox writes fewer than a dozen articles annually; he has made light of this by promising to regularly update "never."
Recently, some of Maddox's articles have been translated into foreign languages, such as "Ben Stiller Should Star in Every Movie" and "If You're Too Much of an Impressionable Idiot to Watch Sideways, Then Don't"Maddox. "If you're too much of an impressionable idiot to watch "Sideways," then don't." The Best Page in the Universe. February 17, 2005.
Following the Hurricane Katrina disaster, Maddox asked for donations in the form of store purchases and collected over $3000.
On August 29, 2008, "The Best Page in the Universe" celebrated "11 years of literary genius."
Content
The majority of Maddox's articles are satirical, often focusing on society and pop culture, although he does occasionally write a nonsensical page with no intentions other than entertainment. Several articles deal with masculinity and enthusiastically endorse chauvinism and dislike towards children, senior citizens, women's rights activists, vegetarians, environmentalists, hippies, celebrities and personalities, George W. Bush, Mac users, goths and jocks.
Many of Maddox's articles include illustrations to portray a point. Most of the pictures on his website were drawn by Maddox with Microsoft Paint, and occasionally Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, and other graphics manipulation software. Past images include drawings of elderly people being fired to the Sun, hippies being killed, Maddox's testicles (drawn larger than a basketball).
