Dangers of Reading Internet Comments

I know I haven't written anything in ages.  I got all neurotic about it, so let's just leave it at that and move on, yeah?
Oh, that seems to be a new, well, style of my typing.  I don't think I say it.  At least I haven't noticed.  But in e-mails and stuff, I add ',yeah?' to all kinds of statements.  Where the hell did that come from?
Oh, point, right.  The title.

So, here's the background.  I read quite a lot of stuff on the internet.  Like, a lot of news stories, and a lot of things that might be considered to pass for news, but really aren't.  They might show up in Google News, but you know they're meaningless crap.  I read insignificant news.  I read less about significant news for some reason.  If there are like 1000 articles about it, I read the headline and a sentence.  No, I spend my time going after like everything ever written about the Patriots (at least since their last game), everything about Tim Minchin I can possibly find (my Idol, swoon).  I check out other NFL stuff now the playoffs are here, I look at movie reviews.  Even for movies that there is absolutely no chance in hell I will ever see (The Dilemma, although if I had an exact amount of screentime for Channing Tatum and it was sufficient I could be convinced.  However, I know absolutely no one who would want to convince me to see that.)  I read NYTimes columnists. Lately I've been rather hypervigilant about the weather with the whole blizzard thing.  And I inevitably end up on People or some other even worse crap because some little thing about a celebrity I like shows up (partly this is because of awards season, but realistically I'd land on them anyway).  As you can surely see, this is colossal waste of time.
