Homepage Change

For the last 5 years or so, cnn.com has been the homepage of my web browser. Even when I made the switch from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox (and you should too), cnn.com made the cut.

But I finally got fed up with their "news" about Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, etc. If I wanted to read that shit, I would have set my homepage to something like people.com. Stories about celebrities are not news, people. It's gossip. Unless the celebrity in question acheives world peace or settles third-world debt, I don't want it staring me in the face every time I open up the interweb.

And the bumbling attempts at witty headlines that tell you nothing about the actual story? Bitch, please. Information is what I seek, not punny headlines.

It's now set at washingtonpost.com, where, thankfully, I have to scroll down to even get a glimpse about entertainment. And even then, it's not a Paris or Lindsay post, it's an article about the ending of the show Gilmore Girls, which, apparantly, is critically acclaimed. Huh.
