Instapundit Thinks I'm an Idiot

Seen on Glenn's website this morning:

[Clickbait]

Notes:

  • If you click on that, you'll be taken to the Wikipedia article on "Clickbait".

  • It's obviously locale-tailored; I live in Rollinsford, NH, just across the Salmon Falls River from South Berwick, Maine.

  • The Salmon Falls River is only 38 miles long.

  • Anyone looking for a cruise on the Salmon Falls River, especially on a boat similar to the one pictured above, will be disappointed.

  • But there's a stretch that's suitable for canoeing or kayaking.

  • But you won't find out about that from clicking on that ad.

  • I have no idea what you would find out by clicking on that ad. Because I am not an idiot, and hence did not click on it myself.

  • I suppose those ads "work", i.e., bring in some money to the websites that host them.

  • But the message they send me is… well, you see the headline up there.
