Why do I have to see a HUMONGOUS advertisement for this lame article on the homepage? Isn't it clear from the comments that this article is not worthy of our efforts? Believe me, we've tried to read it, but the layout makes it too difficult and it's BORING - we've heard this all before, somewhere else, and better - even the rickrolling - you must think the internet was invented yesterday...

Why punish us for days on end with this tripe? Doesn't Slate have anything better on offer? Is there some kind of quota to be met, or what!?
