Bedlam Asylum is an online mental institution which offers satire, jokes, stories and images - plus the chance to commit yourself or others (rotten relatives, false friends, unwanted workmates etc.) for treatment.

It's managed by a group that owns lots of sites, webrings and listings, so it is a good starting point for surfers who might enjoy historical subjects, eerie photographs, Halloween fun or any of the hundreds of other themes that are just a click away.

You can adopt your own lunatic, become a contributor or add to the Paranormal Forum.

The museum section contains a wing devoted to Michael Jackson (with viciously funny and inventive pictures and animations).
