    just like all of our other "news" outlets...

    sadly, if people weren't interested in this crap, it wouldn't be a top story.

    This is their current "Trending Now" list based on searches/browsing:

    TRENDING NOW

    1. Kate Gosselin
    2. Scarlett Johanss…
    3. iPhone
    4. Sandra Bullock
    5. Jason Bateman
    6. Oil Spill Clean-…
    7. Elton John
    8. Kristen Stewart
    9. Drop Dead Diva
    10. MTV Movie Awards

    Outside of the oil spill and maybe iPhone, the rest is complete celeb/gossip crap...

    i can forgive that because like it or not, people like this stupid shit, but what pisses me off are the supposed 'news' articles that are really just advertisements. like some article on finding a job is really just an excuse to link one of their partners. or an article on obesity is really just a chance to mention a book they are trying to sell. they are very crafty at it.

    i think thats the way its gonna be from now on.

    speaking of the MTV movie awards... I watched about 15 mins ... wow. I literally had to ask the person sitting next to me what award just happened and who won? yikes that shit is unwatchable. best WTF moment was the category...if you can catch the replay...do it...it was ridiculous. The winner actually gave an acceptance speech.

    I know what you mean. I just ignore it. I only use Yahoo for e-mails. When I click on to the log-in page I notice their bullshit 'News' thing but just look away. I don't want that garbage corrupting my brain. Same reason why I wouldn't read 'The Sun' or 'The Star'.
