familiarity in place of comprehension theory.

Here is an interesting site: blather

Some kind of experiment with random words and random text and journal entries. I don't understand it, but that's what makes it great. The best sites are the one's I don't quite understand, like Futura 2000's (see if you can find the page all about Boba Fett). This also goes for movies, books, music, and people. The key is to not get discouraged with not understanding. It is instinct to simply back out of something you do not understand, but if you continue to expose yourself to the website or thing and continue to explore it you find an understanding of not understanding. Your exposure to it brings a sense of familiarity which replaces the need to understand. You understand its ever-changing potential for interpretation. Now go click the links.
