Just realized we all forgot about the 'heavier is better' myth. Sorry, internets.

I love your comment about the sign on the wall and ticket stub. It reminds me of "The Office" where Steve Carrell's character declares bankruptcy. He just walks out into the common room and loudly proclaims it, haha.
This seems reasonable on its face. But if you were the second-to-last last CNN employee on Earth, would you really go looking for a librarian?
I still think Stanislav Petrov deserves an international holiday.
"...and we're not sure how good that would be on your car."
Really? So only the competitors are justified in caring about "who ends up where?" It's called a RACE! I watch the specific races I do because I am fan of those sports in particular. But what makes them exciting to watch is the battles which take place, the swapping of positions, the potential knock-outs. That's…
Bullshit. Not everyone can watch a race live due to time zones or those pesky things called JOBS. It sucks having a race ruined before you can watch it.
You're playing semantic games. If you actually believed race results were unimportant you wouldn't give them away in headlines. And since when was this a "news" site? It's a collection of opinion pieces.
Seriously. Just leave the winner/top finishers out of the headline/summary/preview picture.
Yes there are such things as spoilers. If a race comes on at 2 am but is being rebroadcast at 10am how is it reasonable to not expect people to want to watch it at 10am? Jalopnik can write about it all they want, just don't put the fucking result in the title. Just like how a movie critic won't put the ending of the…
I have the time-delay effect because American coverage of the motorsports I care about it either non-existent or not the quality I like (also fuck commercials in the middle of your race), but yeah, I avoid the internet, or likely places to find motorsport news at the very least, until I watch the race. And attempt to…
It's also not difficult to just not include any details about the race in the headline (example, who won it.). Leave it for the actual article. Then, if someone who doesn't want to see it accidentally does, it's their own fault. Generally, myself, I just boycott entire car websites until I've had a chance to watch…
IMHO its one thing to post results of a race that happens in the same or similar timezone.
That's why I just do something remarkable, and get this, AVOID THE INTERNET until I've seen the race. However, I will still enforce the rule of keep spoilers after the jump, for those who just happen to be browsing Oppo.
Both matter. If I know the outcome of the race I'm still going to watch it to see how they got there but I'd prefer the entire thing be a surprise. That said, I've learned to just stay away from Jalopnik during F1 weekends because of how quick they are to post spoilers.
I disagree with this post.
The Z06 is also perfect for burnouts, but Jay Leno didn't get to experience that in his pre-production convertible. He did however put its acceleration to the test with the new eight-speed single-clutch transmission that's actually faster than the manual, until the hands of the law switched on those sirens. Oh boy!
