Heretic.

Offering nothing that won't be all over every mainstream TV news broadcast, or tabloid front page, by tomorrow morning, and starting a discussion that's bound to bellyflop into Drivel Wars.

Does anyone care that these actors are having a baby? Do those people come to MetaFilter to find out about such things?

If we blow all our outrage here, what are we going to do for the inevitable "Nick and Jessica are getting divorced" post?

NICK AND JESSICA ARE GETTING DIVORCED???

I can recharge outrage quickly for this sort of thing.

Meh. I feel sorry for all the people who are somehow forced to click on every link and read what's behind all of them... I will pray for their salvation.

Who's Nick and Jessica and why should I be outraged about them?

And by the way, about delmoi's post, better FPPs were deleted today. On preview, clevershark, best of the web?

The best part of this greyish blue thread is
I figured if matt wanted to delete it, he would.

MattFilter -- throw every piece of shit you can find on the web in his lap, and see what sticks!

(And I even like Newsfilter -- usually!)

What did clevershark say? I dont read every comment.

I flagged it as "LAME!!!"

I flagged it, but I didn't move on. I couldn't move on.

Everybody who is outraged by Newsfilter and delmoi's throw-shit-at-the-blue-and-see-what-sticks tactics should post goatse images as FPPs to the Blue in protest.

You first.

Yeah, I agree - except ikkyu2 just made it very interesting!

Seriously, if Matt deletes the original post, I hope ikkyu2 makes his own with the links in his comment.

I have to admit, that I am drawn to posts like the Tom Cruise one simply to observe the car wreck.

One hundred and three cheers for ikkyu2 for trying to rescue the post.

Hey hey, ho ho, this penis party has got to go.

Keep the post. Frankly, there aren't enough posts in which we can see Tom's handsome mug staring at us.

You know, I was going to leave it because as 9/11 showed us, SOMETIMES A CNN OR AOL LINK IS WORTH KEEPING AROUND FOR AN EVENT THAT WILL CHANGE OUR LIVES FOREVER.

then I thought twice and deleted it.
