this is how newspapers work, this is how magazines work, this is how the 11pm evening news work etc etc. They hook you in... I actually find the ones on TV especially annoying, they always try to spin it like your life DEPENDS on it.

Stay tuned for our story on baby food, this COULD SAVE YOUR CHILDS LIFE.

In the end the report didnt even deal with anything life threatening and is actually rather mundane.

Anyway my point is that the tactic has been used since the beginning of time. Using it online is more or less just an extra instance of it now.

I guess I was going for more of a humorous post, I wish I would've developed it a little further. It always makes me think of those single-serving sites where it's just big black text on a white background, so I just applied that to real-world sites. Obviously, this technique has been around for ages, but it'd be hilarious if they reverted to this.

Cock jokes will give you immediate satisfaction.

Ohhh yeah

Very true. They should at least have the straight answer come first, then all the unimportant paragraphs after that. You know... "The short story" and then "the long story." That would make things much better.

It really would.

Man I hate how people use a boatload of SOPHISTICATED LANGUAGE n shit to show off how great they are at journalism. Sometimes it's like COME ON- If you could just talk like a normal person I would've found what I was lookin for by now, but no; I have to sift through a load o fuckin metaphors n shit.
I'm a guy, the guy writing it's a guy, neither of us have ever used the word "congenial" in our lives. So why's he wrote it? Fuckin journalists

The world's broken, Con-Con babycakes. The world is broken.
