True, but sad

I already swore that I would NOT write about celebrities.

I lied once. Now twice.

Let me explain.

I get some of my email at comcast.net. I don't love the interface but the home page gives you a fast look at what is going on in the world. There's a big section on top that changes every couple of seconds: it features news and sports and shopping and product promotions and oddities and more.

Underneath that section, however, are a few headlines grouped under a simple, yet imposing title: TOP NEWS. Note the use of the word "top." It denotes priority. It suggests importance and substance. It leads one to believe that, while some news may be secondary in nature, and other news perhaps ordinary, the headlines below this banner will surely reek of significance when cast against the backdrop of world events.

And here were today's four headlines:

12,000 Civilians Killed in Iraq

Ford Funeral Draws Crowds

Iran Asserts Nuclear Intentions

Spears Falls Asleep at Vegas Club


Anyone wanna bet which story got the most clicks?
