What's the hook? This seems to be in the fmylife style of sites. But FML capitalizes on the very basic human experience of schaudenfreude versus sympathy. When I read those, I get a reaction of "ha! they deserved it" or "oh crap, that sucks!" On insane stories, I think "wow. pretty crazy. so what?"
You also seem to overlap a bit, between FML and TFLN. Those stories offer a teaser of a story, which is often higher quality than the full story (and more easily digestable). How are you planning on overcoming the network effect? Your site seems to be just slightly different, but without a catch, I don't think it's different enough to overcome the competition.
Also, I'm pretty sure FML uses an editor to make the posts sensible. You might want to think about that as well.
