Spot on, but to me it's rather sad, and I wish I didn't have to read about it here, since I have no interest in celebrity gossip


hackernews is one such place. they can post such nonsense on the homepage. and now they flagged my comment for being joking.


Users flagged your comment. They were correct to do so, because it's not the sort of discussion this site is supposed to be for.

Joking isn't the problem; the problem is lazy internet snark/trope/flamebait style comments. Users here are generally quick to flag those because we all know from experience what sort of low-quality threads they lead to.
