    Let's see here, you're labelling Star Wars people nerds, but not BSD people? Wow. Star Wars isn't nerdy, it's a horrible movie with a director out to do nothing but make money, and george lucas isn't a great director, to say the least. But, maybe you have a jar-jar fetish, who knows.

    Secondly, let's take a look at what "news" is:

    news Pronunciation Key (nz, nyz)
    pl.n. (used with a sing. verb)

    - Information about recent events or happenings, especially as reported by newspapers, periodicals, radio, or television.
    - A presentation of such information, as in a newspaper or on a newscast.
    - New information of any kind: The requirement was news to him.

    So, according to those with the ability to concur what that defination means, this article was news.

    Thirdly, like I said earlier, if you don't like it, you can filter it out, or go away.
