I think it’s a silly thing, but considering the non-political and news posts that are on here, is it really any worse than Brett Favre news? I just thought you went too far in ripping the guy for just posting a (mainstream) news story. It’s not like it’s from TinfoilTimes.com.
FYI, Brett Favre news, as much as it's overdone (and I'm a Packer fan...) is generally based on fact. This is based on speculation about some mythical monster that's never been proven to exist, and a photo that is far more discernible as a vessel than some "monster". Your comparison doesn't hold up. I don't care where it originates from, a little common sense can go a long way in not burdening our bandwith with silly posts.
