More AOHell
Posted by DNW on 2015/03/09
I don’t think anyone takes AOL seriously anymore, apart from it being a serious example of cultural degeneracy.
Now, I suppose that if someone were tempted to make The National Enquirer, or some other supermarket checkout lane tabloid trash their Internet starting page, then AOL might seem like an attractive option.
Otherwise, I cannot think of a single reason to sign up. In fact, as I and numerous others have said before, it is difficult merely to justify keeping an old e-mail account there, no matter how many years you may have had it.
As if any of us really needed further evidence of the mental and moral squalor of the AOL experience, here’s sampling of “ledes” from today’s headlines. Recall too, that what appears here appears despite the fact that the greeting screen was deliberately set to the “business” option .
Only on the last item listed do they finally get to a political issue: with the expected framing, of course.

It’s the Huffington-Puffington Post Tabloid mentality. I hate it when in the middle of something, it freezes.
