10 reasons why these never ending internet articles involving lists of random information cause major annoyance:

1. Nothing new has been written, this is regurgitation of old territory/information put into a predictable format for the hopes of publishing on the web and nothing more.
2. Many items included are not really accurate and don't really fit these stories. There is a tendency to stretch the truth in order to cram the material into a list- for the sole purpose of creating a list...such as..."10 celebrities and their children who look exactly like them"... Well, maybe one or two look exactly like them- like Reese Witherspoon and her daughter, and the rest ? They do look related but that's about it.
3. This format is getting old and boring, like mad libs after a long car trip.
4. Too many ads to endure in between listings... so getting through the mediocre list is long, drawn out and tedious.
5. David Letterman's top 10, once a fun and orginal experience, has been forever ruined.
6. The format is so dumbed down that it makes any other on-line article seem sophisticated and legitimate, no matter the content. This is much like how Donald Trump makes all other Republican candidates seem dignified by comparison.
7. All of these “articles”/lists start to look the same after a while. It's like going immediately from a Lowes to a Home Depot- it feels like the same place but something is ever so slightly different.
8. These stories are everywhere in the media and won't go away, kind of like Ben Affleck's nanny.
9. Nobody learns anything from these lists, we are no better off after viewing than we were before.  The same feeling one gets after leaving a Thomas Kincaide exhibit.
10. They intend to educate us... but they just end up annoying us... anyone? Anyone?
