Stupid People That Need to Go: The Yahoo Front Page
You have been surfing the Internet all day when suddenly a powerful Tornado sweeps through your neighborhood scooping your humble home off it's hinges and turning it into a heap of rubble. You fight for a few minutes before dying. Turns out you are the only one who managed to die in your neighborhood. The story was all over the news and sirens were blazing outside your front door, but you were under one of those massive headphones black people wear that cancel out any noise that is softer than a Boeing 747 engine......
How did this happen?
You were surfing Yahoo all day and they had "better" things to cover. Most reputable websites reported that a Tornado was coming on their front page. In fact, one of them even mentioned your home address, your name and that experts believed the Tornado would probably touch down right in your living room right on top of your PS3.......

| What kind of rubbish content is this? |
If the titles are not outrageously misleading, they tend to be stupid and the stories are for the most part very badly written. I am not against the idea of "Crocodile Eats Phone" or "Man with ears like Obama causes buzz," type articles, some people enjoy them, but how has it come to be that there are hardly ever any meaningful articles on Yahoo these days? Part of society turning into dumb inbreds is the fault of media outlets who are just catering to people's need for bubble gum stories like "Dog performs CPR, saves woman" and ignoring real news and events. Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to write an intersting article with:
A.) No Cat ~ doing things NOT out of the realm of impossible when it comes to Cats.
B.) No cute Dog.
C.) No Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez or [insert untalented teen sensation]
Some people love those stories and that's fine but there are also some people that read Yahoo to find out interesting facts, or discover rare and bizarre events around the world. Yahoo used to have more of those types of stories. Now individuals seeking that kind of nourishment have been unceremoniously told to go suck a D@... There are many stories on the Yahoo news reel and there is plenty of room for good quality content in addition to the "Baby seal clubs sailor" type. Better yet, actually develop and improve something on Yahoo for a change. Have the platform perform functions to tailor stories or make recommendations to readers based on browsing habits or selections similar to other popular content driven sites like SU and Reddit.
....As it stands, Yahoo is getting STUPID-ER by the day and that means it has to GO.....
