Are Clickbait Articles Ridiculous or Am I Overly Critical?
Have you ever been on Facebook, Twitter, or maybe even just bring up Yahoo or a news site and come across some overly ridiculous clickbait article? For example, I need the 5 minutes back from life that I used reading an article on Instyle entitled “Who Gave Dakota Johnson the Right to Look This Good Right Now?” She was wearing ratty jeans, a hoodie, and her hair was a bit messy. So, wait, remind me again how is this looking really good right now? She looked like a normal, everyday girl and guess what? That’s completely ok but why make it into something it isn’t? I seriously read this over and was shaking my head the entire time.
“Her enviable hair was perfectly tousled, and her bangs laid at the length that is almost completely unattainable for us normals.” Eh? So, when I step out of my house with a hoodie, messy hair, and jeans does that mean I’m stepping into the realms of being one of the elite versus being one of the “normals”.
Further ridiculousness from the article:
“Based on her head-to-toe look on April 12, it appears the aforementioned memo has not reached Ms. Johnson’s desk, and in fact, she appears to be operating under a completely opposite rule of dress. The actress stepped out of her Los Angeles home wearing an expected, yet somehow (in these times) attention-grabbing look”
WHO THE HELL writes this stuff? She’s operating under a completely opposite rule of dress? How did jeans and hoodie get THIS complicated?
P.S. Dakota, go home girl, why are you walking around LA without a mask ANYWAY? I hope it’s for essentials!
Are these clickbait articles ridiculous or am I overly critical?
That’s my rant today.
What’s yours?
