    Where the hell have you been?

    It's been like this for years. You so-called journalists are either obsessed with the completely trivial or busy proclaiming to us the Important Truths we figured out the better part of a decade ago. It's like the recording industry suddenly waking up and saying, "Duh! We should have been putting out quality music!" Quit phoning it in and tell us something we don't already know.
