- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoI stopped regularly reading "El Reg" years ago for this very reason. Perhaps I just grew up. It's a real shame they put up this barrier to entry as they've been behind some truly excellent investigative journalism over the years.
- stewartm 8y agoI can understand that. Humour is a matter of taste so I can't imagine they hit the mark 100% of the time for anybody, certainly they don't for me. However given the weariness derived from seeing the same kind of tech issues/fails/corruption reported ad infinitum, I happily welcome an attempt at a bit of humour to lighten the mood a little.
- acct1771 8y agoNY Post, same issue, different fashion.. They actually just did a great piece on Congresspeople sleeping in their offices because they can't afford two houses. Still get a "tabloids are bad" rap. A shame.
- yarrel 8y agoReading the original article that The Register is recycling is good advice generally.
