i'm not sure exactly what i have been clicking on in the yahoo news ticker, but the top stories on my ticker today are: video of an "embarrassing NHL gaffe", a photo of a mysterious light beam coming from a mayan temple, story about how an interview with a senate candidate's kid gets weird, and a bit about how the makers of an otter-based video game including a character called joustin beaver are suing justin bieber. that last one, i would have thought would have been young justin suing the otter game folk, but what do i know. those are the top four and are followed by a list of the most guessed passwords, a picture of katy perry's new look, a story about the dangers of diet soda, and finally, in slot #8, a story about the tornado damage. seven people-magazine worthy stories before the news. this is a custom yahoo home page that i log into. i use it at home and at work. i don't always click on anything and i never click on everything but the things i choose to click on are used to determine what i will be presented as options for my clickage. i mean, that's just how it works - you see more of what you've already demonstrated a liking for with your clicks. clearly, i am more interested in justin bieber's first amendment rights than i am about real news. but, in my defense, i am a complete idiot.
