You’re Effing Kidding Me, Right?

Read this and look back into your browser’s address field. I swear, Safari and Firefox are acting up, rendering this obviously farcical story as coming from the Times. I mean, shouldn’t it say http://www.theonion.com or some such mock news site? Can this be a real story?

That brings up something else. I think it’s time to scrap the notion of objective journalism. Stories like this are a perfect example of how some of the shit going down is begging to be ridiculed. The lack of such by outlets like the Times betrays the anachronistic nature of the newspaper industry.
