Another thing I hate about the Internet...

...clicking Next.

I just saw a link to a story about Asylum's Top 10 Occupations Inaccurately Associated With Sexiness to see the fallacy of the sexy librarian, and even though I know there are 9 more unsexy occupations, I have to click Next or Previous to see them.

Like on the Entertainment Weekly site, here's a story about 30 TV Shows You'd Bring Back from the Grave where I have to click Next 30 times (!!!!!) to see the list of shows.

I understand that they want to hold my eyeballs for as long as possible, but don't they realize that there's a point where I stop caring. Or maybe this is a test and next week it will be 75 Body Parts You Wouldn't Want Pierced.

Well, I'm at the end; you get one free Next click from me and that's it. Go peddle your poorly-thought-out business model elsewhere. I click no more! (Well, once more. But that wasn't the best exit line.)
