Tabloid Territory.

If I go onto my Mixpod page, a flyout comes up that says ‘QB Brett Favre and Playboy model Jenn Sterger’s scandalous NSFW pictures here.’

Do they really expect that anybody who can boast possession of a brain cell will click on it? Apparently not, because there’s no need to click on it. All it takes is for the unfortunate possessor of the brain cell to accidentally hover the mouse pointer in that general vicinity and he gets the full story anyway.

Now, I do understand that this virtual reality game we call life contains an awful lot that is shallow, worthless and probably detrimental to the development of the higher self, but taking a salacious interest in other people’s paltry business really does dredge the depths of the desolate soul. What’s more, it’s as dumb as dumb gets.
