The internet is a funny place. People who could easily sift through stereotypically long Russian novels like War and Peace end up floundering when they get to a four-paragraph article. Four paragraphs? Make that four sentences. You've probably already decided there's nothing of value in the article and have moved on to something more lewdly sexual. Wait! You just scanned past an interesting word! Maybe this isn't too bad after all. Is it worth devoting an additional fifty seconds of your life to? There is a rich and fulfilling world of hentai out there. Did the inclusion of the word "hentai" just open TMT up to a whole new demographic of Googlers? We can only hope.
Assuming you've managed to hold your attention long enough to read through that (sorry, your time would have been better spent getting an extra minute of sleep), what have you learned? Well, Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tour are soon to be on the road. What? Homeland security is using a "terrorism filter" based on spam filters? I've been blacklisted? Aw, shit, at least I've got plenty of long books to read.
