Just posting to blow off a little steam. . .
Last several months, I'm finding that when I run across a paragraph with a little info about another story, if I click on it, I'm TAKEN TO ANOTHER PARAGRAPH WITH A LITTLE INFO ABOUT THE STORY! ! !
For example, I read a couple sentences that said I should click here, it's an amazing render of a woman, and it's hard to believe it's not a real person. So, intrigued, I click on the link, and it takes me here:
http://digg.com/offbeat_news/BELIEVE_IT_OR...She_is_not_real
(AFAIK, safe for work)
ANOTHER damned paragraph with another damned link to the actual story/pic.
It's just starting to piss me off.
1. Why not just POST THE LINK TO THE ACTUAL STORY/SITE, NOT TO ANOTHER PARAGRAPH BLURB ABOUT THE STORY/SITE?!?!?
2. When I click on the link that leads me to another link, where I'm supposed to click to get to the NEXT link and/or story isn't always terribly clear. In the example above, I assume I'm supposed to click on the large bold text that says, "BELIEVE IT OR NOT: She is not real". All too often, this link is faulty or takes me to an incorrect location. SOMETIMES, it just takes me back to ITSELF!
OK, after a few minutes, I've received the message that the 'server is too busy at the moment". Maybe this link actually works, but I still wish I didn't have to play "find the easter egg" when something promises to take me somewhere and show me something.
Gaaaaa! ! !
EDIT:
OK, so now I'm being told the thread doesn't exist. Thanks to the handy 500+ comments below the faulty link, someone has pointed to another, higher-res version of the pic.

If it's a real link, and not a pic of someone's girlfriend, it is indeed a very sweet render. I'm looking for faults, though, and I think I see them. The bangs in front look odd to me.and the shading/skin on the neck and shoulders looks too uniform/perfect to me. That said, I suppose I could find similar faults with a digital pic of a real woman. . .due to flaws in the camera, compression issues in the image, etc.
