Sorry to say, there isn't going to be a list here...if you were wanting an actual list...suck it.
After several years obtaining my "news" from the internet, I have decided that we need to kill the top ten list. Obviously, this refers to all lists created to be faux news. top 10 hotels, top 10 reasons to..., top 10 things to...., you get the idea.
If you like that sort of thing, you are a moron, accepting a list created by a random stranger, that may or may not have any real credentials when it comes to the topic at hand. I'm sure you accept poll numbers as facts as well. I, on the other hand, prefer to draw my own conclusions about what is the best, worst, smartest, happiest, etc. Right now, I am reading Yahoo News(or so they call it) and have found 5 top ten lists, well, 4 top tens, and 1 top five. In one news cycle, Yahoo has decided it knows more about what is the most important events of 2011, the 10 best gifts for you to buy your spouse, the best photos of the year, and the 10 best items to hang on your christmas tree, and of course, the 5 "best" movies of the year. Now, this isnt a rant about Yahoo News, thats for another post. Yahoo is not the only news aggregator that decides to amend its content with top tens, and I condemn all that do.
End Rant...for now
