When NonStartr popped up on our Twitter feed this morning, we of course found it hilarious--"Its like Klout, but for clowns!"--but then we thought maybe we had seen it before. Turns out Nonstartr is new; one of its creators, Alex Leo, Reuter's director of product news, told us over Twitter: "We came up w/idea months ago, brainstormed & got domain/accts but [Andrew Cedotal] (who did ALL the work) did it recently." But it's also one of many ridiculous startup generators on the Internet that poke fun at some of the silly ideas for companies the recent tech bubble has produced. So without further ado, here is your complete guide to the Internet's best startup generators.

Nonstartr

Tagline: WTF is my startup pitch?
What it is: Nonstartr takes buzzworthy companies and mashes them up with relatively terrible ideas for companies. The results are quite silly.
Examples: "It's like Netflix meets Shoedazzle;" "It's like Foursquare, but for weddings;" "It's like Warby Parker, but for clergy."
