The New York Post figured this out years ago.

Wow, this is a really farking stupid article. I mean, these are nice people obviously, and the purely inane and tepid article have made me hate them. I want to murder this family.

/me is laughing so hard at the ridiculousness of his own statements
//me knows its not funny to laugh at oneself

If you want articles with almost no worthwhile content, try reading anything by Micheal Coren. Sunmedia gives him almost half a page every saturday to let him vent his spleen on how we're all sinners and deserve to be stoned to death.

While Money for Nothing makes them clean, "Like a Virgin" makes her give daddy a blowjob.

Hmm, sure makes me glad that Internet news is free.

McNeil wrote in her entry to our Father's Day contest, telling us about the song that most reminded her of her dad.

Dear Lord. Can you imagine how boring and pointless all the losing entries must have been?!?

Every time I hear "Money for Nothing", I realize I hate whatever job I'm currently doing.

What the fark was that?

 
MadAzza [TotalFark] 2008-06-15 06:11:15 PM  
Huh? Newspapers publish a lot of non-news stories (see Features, Sports, movie reviews, etc.).

Especially on, say, Father's Day, when they might, oh, I don't know, maybe run a column about a father's influence?

Subby's an idiot.

The best part is how he's railing on sexual immorality in that column, and there's an ad for the "Sun Girls" down in the corner of the page.

submitter: Newspapers have finally figured out they don't actually need news in order to publish articles

And thanks to Fark, they'll notice that this story got at least 1,400 clicks more than usual, and will try to run more like it.

That was about the time that civilization ended as we knew it.

When the article first popped up on the browser I did a double-take.

I misread the headline as: "Dad gets his dicks for free."

tarheel07: Hmm, sure makes me glad that Internet news is free.

Which is why I no longer subscribe to the local fishwrap and pick my other periodicals very carefully.

Forget the enviro consequences.

Does everybody else shrink a bit when you see a local tag come up?

 
danduran 2008-06-15 06:34:27 PM  
Er Subby, it's called a column, and I'm sure newspapers have been running them for a century or so now.

 
Larva Lump 2008-06-15 06:35:29 PM  
Y'see, thanks to high-tech transportation and communication the world actually has gotten smaller, so there's correspondingly less to report.

NOooooooo.... I'm thinking... you are the idiot.

This article is a complete waste of time.

 
Third_Uncle_Eno 2008-06-15 06:58:16 PM  
thank you subby.
that article was only worthwhile for the "M.F.N." and Dire Straits references. cool.

 
ozzie_stu 2008-06-15 07:04:50 PM  
it's like the end of the tv news .. they always end on a non-news story so why be upset when the print media do the same ?

maybe they can report about how the trees are going to kill everyone, like they do in the movie The Happening.

Wait, so substance isn't necessary to qualify as journalism? Has anybody else taken advantage of this knowledge?

Oh, yeah, I forgot...
