HuffPo’s “15 Funniest Pet Videos” a prime example of bad best-of lists

As SP continues to dangle its judgment over the precipice of public opinion, I’m happy to tell you that there’s no WAY we’ll do as poor a job at “best of” as HuffPo did here.

Superlatives are way, way overboard here. These videos aren’t even funny!

The orangutan is heartwarming, but that’s different. (I am a Terry Pratchett fan.)

Where’s Drunk Squirrel? Where’s the barfing/fucking dog? Where’s Cat on a Ceiling Fan?

These noobs are showing off their interweb illiteracy.
