They SLAG and DEFAME JOHN LENNON for Fame and PROFIT

Is there no end to the obscure websites that try to increase traffic...and get AD MONEY...by being "outrageous?"

Here's yet another:

As with so many "list" websites, where neurotics, maggots and parasites assemble their favorite "wardrobe malfunctions" or "Ten Best" latte recipes, the best way to get attention is to write celebrity shit that people can't stop linking to. The idea is to try and become a "famous" website and a "player," like, uh, PEREZ HILTON, by having idiots whisper "you won't BELIEVE what's on this website...take a look..."

It's the old tabloid game...write anything as long as they drop the newspaper into the bag along with the celery and disposable diapers...and PAY for it.

On the Internet, the game is write anything that will increase traffic, get advertising, and make extra money through link-clicks.

It doesn't matter of it's mostly opinion or distortion or both. On the Internet, everyone thinks they can become an instant star...and everyone rejected by the Daily Mail can go get their own website and pretend to be important.

In the "Top Ten" reasons why John Lennon is someone to spit on and revile (in favor of Paul McCartney, apparently), here's Number Four, which you'll note contains a LINK TO AN AD. Go buy Lennon sunglasses at Amazon and the guy who pissed on Lennon's grave gets some money!

No surprise that the idiot list insists that Lennon didn't meet Yoko at an art gallery...but evil Dragon Lady Yoko stalked John for months to get his attention. No surprise that the author has the nerve to insist that Lennon didn't write very many good songs and was a mediocre guitarist. No surprise that he (or she) dredges up John's admitted faults in ignoring his son Julian and being violent with Cynthia (and here, we're told he battered Yoko as well...something I don't think John ever said he did).

John was honest enough to admit to his faults...so these are used against him. But the big fun is to create much bigger distortions. Like...he wasn't a "house husband" baking bread, as he, Klaus Voormann and others attested he did...no, he was on heroin the whole time. How about this one? John was a political hack, it's said here, and only supported the most detestable people (the Black Panthers) and otherwise was just a mindless follower. (Ever heard of anyone doing a bed-in before John and Yoko? A naked album cover? A song like "Woman is the Nigger of the World?")

Saving the best for last, to make a little ad money and get traffic, "listverse" happily sides with Mark David Chapman. Hey, John deserved to be shot in the back. He was a hypocrite. He didn't tell the truth every second, or didn't tell the truth to the satisfaction of list-makers on the Internet:

Did you like that last little note? If you "Enjoyed this list," SHARE IT...on Facebook and elsewhere, so the guy who wrote how awful John Lennon was...can make some money.
