But you probably didn’t want to read /articles/news_a...snap_data.html anyway.
By Greg Engel
You probably entered the URL http://www.slate.com/articles/news_a...snap_data.html thinking you were going to a witty, counterintuitive take on some current news topic. Instead you find yourself disappointed to be reading this 404 page, which means our system couldn’t retrieve the article you sought.
But this is actually great news. Did you really want to read whatever it was you were looking for? Let's face it: Whatever article you thought you were going to read, you had probably already anticipated the arguments in your head. Instead of reading it, you can just imagine what it was going to be like and get back to work. Look at all the time you've saved! In other words: you're welcome.
Of course, if you want to find some other interesting story to read, you can go to slate.com and see what else we’re dishing up."
The Slate is part & parcel of the Statist Media so the article was probably heavily biased anyway...
