What is this world coming to?

So I go to read an article about genetically modified wheat on the Huffington Post web site, and the sidebar recommends the following stories:

• This will bring a tear to your eye
• Beaver kills fisherman in Belarus
• The mermaids are back
• "The Voice"'s biggest upset yet
• Prancerise will change your life
• Another controversial outfit for J-Lo
• Fan slaps Beyonce's butt at show
• Atheists can't be saved after all, Vatican says
• Stacy Keibler suffers embarrassing wardrobe malfunction
• Watch: real lesbians react to lesbian porn

This is what I'm supposed to be interested in? This is the society I live in? I want to secede!
