Digg "Entertainment" has really degraded over the past couple of weeks into Digg "Pop Culture Lists"
Check it out
Here are the top stories as I write this:
-
The 10 Most Awesome Movies Hollywood Ever Killed -
The 50 Hottest Women in Music -
YouTube wants to depose Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart -
The 25 Most Notable Celebrity Quotes of the Past 25 Years -
Can't earn enough from CD sales? Sell live concert recordings on USB sticks -
The Top 10 Scenes From The Office
See what I mean? 4 out of six, lists.
I like lists, and enjoy them for entertainment, but this is getting beyond the joke. Essentially "Entertainment News" is supplanted by "Pop Culture Nerd Opinion" which is pretty much pointless.
I like pop culture, I like debating it and its merits. We pretty much run on Pop culture trivia over here and it is part of our common lexicon and cultural chorus; but please for the love of mike, Digg, let's digg something other than lists, kay?
