I really do not like your version of the Top 10.
I think you are being mean-spirited without any wit.
It's become a curse-athon, and not a particularly clever one.

It's just not fun at all to read anymore, like it was in the old days.
I know this is hard work, and that you put a lot of effort into it, and I'm glad SOMEONE is doing it, but I find this version of the Top 10 to be shallow, typo-ridden, and all about you.

I mean... this is about the cleverest part of all this, and it's just not the least bit funny. It reads like something a high school sophomore would write:

"As soon as this passed, Eric Cantor then jacked off on his picture of John Galt, strangled a kitten, kicked a baby down the stairs and set fire to a homeless person, laughing and saying “if you were rich, I wouldn't do this to you, peon! Now DIE QUICKLY!!!”"


In general, I wouldn't really care.
However, I feel that the Top 10 represents DU more than just about any other single item.
It's what first brought me to DU back in 2001.
I really don't want to tell people about DU, and that I'm a member, if this is going to be the first thing that they see. I find it embarrassing.

Anyway... this isn't meant as a personal attack.
I know it's a lot of work, and that you're getting a lot of people who like it.
I just felt it was important to let you know that not everybody is a fan...
