One of the problems with running a website like the Funny 115 is that
it takes a lot of bandwidth. And I mean a LOT of
bandwidth. As the site has gotten bigger, I have included a
lot
more multimedia (podcasts, animated gifs, sound files, flash movies)
along the way. And with that multimedia comes a ton of
overhead and operating costs. Long story short, with the way
the website is set up now, if I don't start generating ad revenue and
asking for donations, it will probably be gone in a year.
So this is how you can help.
If you would like to help support the Funny 115 (and help me pay for
the ridiculous monthly hosting costs) there are two ways to do it.
You can either send me a donation (there is an easy Paypal
link at the bottom of the page), or you can click on one of the
following links. They are links to what I consider the best
Survivor related products at Amazon.com. These are the DVDs,
the books, the essays, etc. that I think are essential to anyone who
calls themself a hardcore Survivor fan.
If you buy any of these products through Amazon (aka through my links),
I get a small percentage of the profit through the Amazon Affiliate
program. So please just keep this in mind if you were
planning to buy any of this stuff anyway. If you were going
to buy a copy of Survivor: Guatemala. Or Survivor: Exile
Island. Or Survivor: Fiji. Or Mark Burnett's book.
Or any of the other big name Survivor items. Please
go through my links and you can help me keep the Funny 115 and all of
my Survivor archives up and running.
And then of course there is the straight donation button if you would
prefer to help me with the site costs that way. You decide.
You can also buy a T-Shirt at the Funny 115 store.
Anyway, on to the links. In my opinion these are the best
Survivor related products out there for purchase at Amazon.
Note:
If you
have an ad blocker turned on, you might not be able to see the links.
So please turn it off at least for funny115.com. I
promise
that Amazon ads are all you will get here. Believe me, I hate
ads too.
----------------------------------- Survivor Seasons on DVD -----------------------------------
This is a really good book about the history of the show, and I know
the author personally so I guarantee you will like it.
Mark Burnett's book about the first season, which I consider required
reading for any Survivor fan
The Stingray by Peter Lance - read about the Stacey Stillman scandal
and how Richard won the first season of Survivor - great book
24/7 by Jim Brown. A complete ripoff of Survivor, but it is a pretty
fun book and if you like Survivor you will like it. It is a fast read.
The Spoiler by ChillOne. Read how a Sucks user named ChillOne
completely spoiled the Amazon season.
The Psychology of Survivor. Psychologists and Survivor experts delve
into the link between Survivor and psychology. Two of the chapters in
the book were actually written by me.

and why Survivor was right at the center of that.
