Swagger, Click-Bait and my Voice

So i was swaggeringalong the street just now and although i looked great i caused some congestion behind me as i was taking up a lot of pavement.  So i thought well anyone behind me is probably fighting the temptation not to join in the fun so wheres the issue?
Which leads me smoothly back to the issue of the phenomena of Facebook 'click-bait'. I don't understand the point of it I mean I saw just now a link that said how many squares are there? 99 percent of people get this wrong,  and it has a picture of some waffles to entice the bored to explore this incredible waste of time.  Obviously, i thought,  the answer is 'it doesnt matter'  because let's face it, it doesn't matter. I mean sure they dress it up behind some fascinating sociological study but reallydo we care? if someone came up to you in the street and presented you with this or with any of the othergarbage you see on these links you would frankly tell them where to go. they all reek of the sort of publications that are just desperate to catch your eye so you click on them and arebombarded with advertisements, hidden in the depths of which in concealed the paltry item that you never had a genuine interest in reading but only clicked on to alleviate the boredom whilst you wait for the pornography to load on the other tab... Or so i've read... 
I've only just discovered the voice recognition software on my tablet which really helps to counter the arse-ache that is using the touch pad keyboard on this blasted contraption. I just hope that my neighbour isn't being freaked out by the sound of me speaking very clearly and pronunciating in an over the top manner. 
since I have been informed that these posts are too long (although I think that says more about the attention spans of some of my readers) I will leave it at that! 
Ta ta!
