Normally I consider the general public to be complete morons, but every once in a while there are a few shining gems. I read Wired.com a lot, and most of their articles are pretty intelligent, but the user comments are fairly dumb. Not the case today!
So, I'm reading an article about Metallica that is fairly neutral, giving the band a chance to make up for their evil greed. Basically Metallica is going to offer some free excerpts and photos from the making of their new album. It even sounds like a good thing, until you get to the end, when it talks about membership prices. Then I suddenly realize that Metallica is just trying to cash in on other bands online success. They haven't changed at all.
The best part though, is the user comments. They blast Metallica with hate and resentment, and I can't blame them. Too little - too late, sums it up.
