See what is at the end of the second paragraph of a Time.com post concerning the problem with the recently released home sales data: 
Why the link to this?
What does Philip Johnson’s Glass House have to do with the new data on home sales? Or is the post so dull that it needs a quick link, a sudden digression into architecture? What could the answer be?
Charles Mudede—who writes about film, books, music, and his life in Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, the USA, and the UK for The Stranger—was born near a steel plant in Kwe Kwe, Zimbabwe. He has no memory... More by Charles Mudede
Maybe Philip Johnson throws a lot of stones.
Oh honestly Charles, did you even read the title and opening sentence of the article???
It says there housing data is like a mirage and half there….. you know, like Johnson’s house would illustrate. Sheesh
What they are trying to say is that the numbers are an illusion. Picture all the houses that are currently vacant on one big field. If sales rates are rising, then some of those houses must be disappearing from the “vacant” field. But in fact, the increase in sales is only due to foreclosures. The houses look like they are not there, but if you look closely you see that the numbers have merely turned the walls to glass, so the houses are harder to see, but in fact there are more of them. Tellingly, they are also more fragile.
hmmm, blog post about architecture with obtuse, non-sequitur link. where have i seen that before?
What it means is that the morons at Time, dying piece of paper shitware that it is, are inserting machine-generated non-sequitur links to other Time content to increase pageviews. That’s all it is.
I was reading an article about Travis the face-shredding chimp at Time recently, and it was interspersed with links like “See pictures of cute animals”. Their website blows.
Does anyone still read TIME?
I thought they died along with LIFE.
The answer is that Time.com has computer programs inserting links into their articles that point to other Time.com articles. Computers are stupid. Therefore, the links are mostly nonsensical and based on tenuous single-word connections. QED.
Computers aren’t stupid.
They just do what you tell them to.
Somebody messed up.
Computers are stupid, Will. They have no intelligence or capacity for independent thought. They do only what they are instructed to do.
