AAAAARRRGGGHHHH!! (A dummy spit)

I really cannot handle bullshit that passes itself off as "news" or "information". What tipped me over the edge was an online poll on ninemsn today. “Do you think Shane Warne is a great Australian?” For a start, what defines a great Australian?? I looked at it and dismissed it as a harmless piece of frippery designed to make the “New Idea” crowd feel as if they are part of “the Internet”. No-one could possibly take it seriously. Could they??

Obviously ninemsn staff do. This is from an "article" on ninemsn (byline ninemsn staff)

“It seems Barry is not the only one critical of Warne with a new poll showing 69 percent of Australians don't believe Warne is a great Australian.”

Do they get fucking monkeys to write this shit? What does it even mean?? Shane Warne is a cricketer, a great one, and he is Australian but the only people who could possibly equate that to meaning Shane Warne is a great Australian is a fool. How can these people be given (what I assume are) paying jobs to dole this rubbish out? You wouldn’t let them play with sharp instruments, why let them near a pc with an internet connection.

A fool with a tool is still a fool
