According to a recent “news” article, the actress who plays the T-X in the movie Terminator 3 enjoys kissing women and has in fact done so on more than one occasion.

I used to think news.com.au had some credibility, due to its association with The Australian, and I was even prepared to overlook its offers of “Dating” and “Horoscopes”, and its tendency to group morbid or black humour articles into their own category.

However, I can’t help but cringe whenever the page offers me another non-fact about some one-dimensional celebrity, such as the one above. I mean, come on. This is the 21st century—girls kissing girls is so old, the candles don’t fit on the birthday cake.

The trouble, of course, with news.com.au is that it is a mixture of all the newspapers News Corporation owns. A lot of these newspapers aren’t very good. So, I think I’ll stop going there and just go to The Australian. I’ll suggest James does the same, if he can manage.

As far as mainstream news sources go, I recommend Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, CNN.com, Google News, and Ananova.

I’m well aware of the irony of talking about this un-newsworthy article and spreading it further by doing so.
