AFTER THE FRICKIN JUMP!

I’m sick and tired of people using the phrase “after the jump” totally inappropriately!

“after the jump” suggests there’s a divider between the introduction and the continuation of the article, usually an Ad of some sort, hence the jump, but when the rest of article is RIGHT THERE and THERE IS NO F***ING JUMP, its really stupid to use that phrase!

Here are examples:

PROPER USE:
blablabla blabla and you can check out the list after the jump.

And now the list:
1- blablabla
2- blablabla
See? Here There is a Jump!!!

BAD USE:
blablabla blabla and you can check out the list after the jump.
And now the list:
1- blablabla
2- blablabla
See? Here There is a NO JUMP!!!

:angry:

And now for something completely different, David Letterman’s Thursday night Top 10 list “Surprising Facts About Barack Obama”… presented by Barack Obama:

    I didn’t know what it meant before either.

    Wow I haven’t seen Letterman in maybe 5-6 years. He looks much older, yet somehow Jay Leno looks exactly the same!
