Let's just let breaking news become a free-for-all, post whatever you wish. How about mindless one line vanities? Or caption this photo? What about men's body parts being removed? Or the latest from Joe Millionaire? Maybe the 4 exact one line breaking news stories from MSNBC, Foxnews, CNN, ABC? We've removed them all and much more from breaking news.

Isn't "Breaking News Abuse" a one line vanity?

My point was that this post was taking up space and y'all do such a fine job keeping the crap out anyway. These notes don't reduce the number of stupid postings and keeping this post at the top is just annoying me and my pocketPC...

That actually brings up a good idea. How about limiting breaking news stories to stories that have articles, and are sourced? That might stop the dupe's, and limit the number of "series" and "hugh" jokes that pervade non-sourced stories.
