Articles like this are time wasting link bait. HN seems to have had a particularly poor selection of top rated articles recently.

Well, this article made me laugh and it's the weekend ! Just relax, I guess many of us are enjoying this kind of articles from time to time.

I do agree with you that sometime, too many links like that are not what we are supposed to share, but hey, this one was good !

There's been a definite increase in trivial and flippant comments from new users, too.

Which one of those guys is a 'new user'?

He was referring to himself. Also you and I.
