OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I like the ones that are just headlines and pictures that parody clickbait headlines, the articles themselves are hit or miss. I still laugh at "Spooky! Everyone Stabbed by this Knife Dies Within 7 Days!"
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

No, Clickhole is good, and Eli's post was entirely appropriate, as this is the thread for incorrect opinions.

Yeah, but BuzzFeed is regularly making fun of itself now. I do like the concept and all but from an individual article perspective, I feel like we all kinda know the joke by now.

I pretty much only read the headlines on both Clickhole and Onion articles these days, because to be honest, the well of long-form written news parody is drying up for me. The headline shock is usually the only laugh I get.

I used to read Fark on a daily basis, but Reddit is my favourite provider of most things now.

I saw a dude my age on the train prowling some dating site looking at very young women the other day, and it was one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

I think I posted this before (or agreed with someone else who posted it), but I really wouldn't be opposed to re-signing Samardzija for a decent deal.

Something like 4/$60 or so. 
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

I only see the headlines that Slaky will share on the Bookface... and I'm good with that exposure

He's not a #3 the Cubs can win a World Series with, and he'd be overpriced as a #4.

, and he'd be overpriced as a #4.

They got fairly close with Shit and Poop as their 3/4 starters this year so I'd think that if Snork can split the difference between his 2014 and 2015 seasons he could be a pretty effective number 3 starter.

But I also dislike him for reasons that aren't always logical so I'd probably prefer they go a different route just to avoid a whole lotta stupid round these parts.

The only reason I'd want him to come back is the years of gold we'd get out of Bort.

I've never actually listened to those McDonald's commercials where Ditka is wearing the Packers gear and I don't care how meatball this sounds, but that's lame as fuck that he's doing that.

I get that Ditka is a complete clown, and the commercial could be about saving kids lives for all I know, but it's just wrong to see that and if it was a team I actually cared about I'd probably go full meatball.

Sure, if your meatball-sized frontal lobe actually held Ditka up as some paragon of integrity as opposed to the opportunistic shill that he really is (and really always has been) I could understand.  But you actually graduated from high school so I'm kind of surprised you'd admit to such ham-handedness. 

Seriously, though, if you're a Bears fan and that whole shtick upset you, you're an irretrievably stupid waste of stem cells.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.
