Fie upon your multi-page, ad-stuffed crapfest of shame. (Don’t click!)

      Sorry – glancing over the image quickly I thought it read “Reasons why lipsticks suck”. And I was like, yeah, a little on the nose with the title, but sounds like it would be some sort of social/literary commentary on ads and feminine image. And then I read the actual narrative which is also interesting. ;)

      The worst is when it’s presented as a slideshow and you have to click through EVERY SINGLE ITEM ON THE LIST.

        Yes, I auto-block any website that serves up such crap (unless there’s also a prominent link to “see the full list in one page”).
