The far superior 'S' from that era was Suck.com, but sadly it failed much earlier.

I remember the suck.com freebies they sent out at one point.

A sticker, a suck-branded Gold Circle Coin condom, and something else that I can't recall right now. (I still have the sticker on an old ammo can.)

Yes! The weekly 'Filler' column with cartoons by Terry Colon was a real must-read in the early dotcom era.

And if you bend the rules a bit, Bianca's Smut Shack might sort-of count too - probably the first truly great website of any sort.

FWIW they had it in for Trump from the start.
