Huffington Post Fights Back Against NY Times Paywall

As you may recall, we've recently discussed celebrated lamented deinstitutionalized the New York Times' stumbling efforts to implement a paywall on their website. Now , ; ! € in an effort to combat the growing trend of hiding content behind annoying attempts at monetization, the Huffington Post has taken a strong stand against the paywall by setting up a paywall of their own that blocks out NY Times employees jerks liberals Krugmans . "On HuffingtonPost.com you can view the first 6 letters of each word at no charge (including slideshows of adorable kittens). After 6 letters, we will ask you to become a digital vassal subscriber hostage clock . You may choose to subscribe to see the rest of each word individually, or choose a package to access all words of more than 6 letters." Some dudes Analysts Talking heads Mutants expect this to be a particularly devastating response, given how much of the HuffPo's content is appropriated and re-used by the NY Times.

Pfft.

That's why I read Fox News. They only use a handful of words over 6 letters, and those few are used so often it's easy to figure them out.

Wow.. That must be why the majority of American's like to watch Fox news and all the self proclaimed intellects have such a problem with it.

Fair and Balanced, my ass.. They are outright discriminating against letters in the alphabet when arranged in certain patters to convey a specific meaning. The government should do something about Fox News doing this.. It's a slippery slope here.. First they came for my grown up words, and I said nothing, then they came for my friends who use them, and I said nothing. Now there is nothing left to say.

What is this?
