    okay, i chose:

    http://rummelplatz.uni-mannheim.de/~mfeld/wallace&gromit.html

    which is one of the many (so i discovered) websites about Nick Park's
    claymation characters, Wallace and Gromit, stars of oscar-winning shorts
    like "A Close Shave."

    i think there are several neat things about this site. first, i really
    like Wallace and Gromit because i think they're hysterical (this is
    kinda obvious). but this website is also a good example of the many
    "fan" type of webpages, solely there to celebrate and spread their
    favorite ______ . in other words, propaganda, which is a one of the big
    things media does. and it's also interesting that media tends to
    reflect on other media as well. here it's a webpage about two
    characters from animations shorts, but with the addition of all the
    usual pics, sound clips, newsgroups, merchandise, etc.
