31. Fair enough...
but left-handedness is the sign of the Antichrist. Or something like that. I get confused about all the evil indicators.

35. I never noticed them on FreeRice
but now that I look again, they've really changed their site. Now they have all those dumb FaceBook/Twitr and whatever else flyout buttons, too. I don't go to FreeRice for the ads or with the desire to Twit it to FacePlant.

6. Articles that have no photos
The internet is made for graphics and photos yet they are under-used by a lot of blogs and news sites. With headlines like Man Runs Naked Through Vegetable Section of Safeway Supermarkets you'd think there would be some sort of photograph. Why else would anyone read the story?

30. I feel sorry for all those only-children who had way too many stuffed toys on their beds --
which didn't get stowed away in time, so once they hit puberty and wet dreams etc., they were permanently confused.

16. Rudeness and referring to yourself in the 3rd person
Edited on Sun Sep-05-10 08:38 PM by Generic Brad
There's no reason to provoke posters unnecessarily. I see it all over the internet and it makes Generic Brad sad.

17. Idiots who say "love / loves me some...", "lolz," pop-up ads, constantly having to update
my flash player,

idiots who post video after video every day thinking we all have the time to watch them all,

Facebook and people who demand that I join (I won't),

the completely unfunny captions under lolcats (my aunt sends them to me constantly, and I'm at the point where I'm going to block her address),

e-mails from dolts who fall for those "free iPad" scams,

Drudge Report,

idiots who use the phrase "love me some... / loves me some...". I know I mentioned this already, but it bears repeating. The phrase isn't funny, cool, endearing or anything else positive, it's just stupid and makes the poster sound that way too.

I know the first and last items will offend at least a couple people here, but it had to be said.

22. News Videos without any text articles with them
screw you, news sites, I don't feel like sitting through 30 seconds of ads to hear someone ramble and then show stock footage for 3 minutes, when I could have read a paragraph.

34. I used to fill out info on myself in order to get to do an IQ test or whatnot.
Now I get emails on my birthday wishing me a Happy Birthday and trying to sell me stuff. Really annoying.

think. Though I do think most IQ tests online are bullshit.

48. Actually, they're extremely accurate
Extremely accurate at showing how well you on online IQ tests, that is.

As true measures of intelligence, I find them less convincing!

42. "Like" buttons, everywhere.
It feels like a dog treat should pop out of the screen when you click on one.

45. Drive-bys in the Comments sections. (Not DU)
Not DU; here at least people hang around and dare to be someone who backs up an argument. But on most news sites nearly every one either quickly degenerates into the same old meaningless name-calling or is filled with meanness, sheer stupidity on parade and venomous spite because there's no consequence.
