I hate going to CNN. I end up spending more time reading the comments than it takes to read the article. And I just want to strangle some of those bickering bastards sometimes.

The sad part is I can't help myself when I go there either. I have some perverse need to know what people will bitch and moan about.

Except I would have to replace "CNN" with any news site. Even Yahoo. :|
