Quick Rant: Things I Hate – Blog Gallery Lists

You know what I fucking hate? I hate it when I click a link to a blog like Jalopnik’s post today “The 25 Most Redundant Car Technologies” and it’s a fucking “gallery”.  BTW- I clicked that link off of Gizmodo’s site, which is a partner blog.

By gallery I mean I can’t just read the list, I have to click through 20+ fucking pictures.

Damn that’s annoying.

Want to do it right? Do what Topless Robot does. Just write it out on one  page and list things so you can read them… like these:

The 10 Newspaper Comic Strips that Need to F**king End or this one The 8 PG-Rated Movies That Should Not Have Been Rated PG or this The 10 Star Wars Toys that Unintentionally Look Like Other Celebrities

AND you know what else I hate?! When I realize that if I drop the end text “gallery” from that original Jalopnik url, the post IS in list form and I look like a DICK and just wasted 5 minutes typing all this. . . . bah

But still… I shouldn’t have to muck w/ the URL…

Here’s the original url btw:
