Isn't anyone else kind of bewildered by this?

I mean this is kind of like if a kid pissed all over the floor in wal-mart, and when you notified an employee about it they gave you a mop to clean it up yourself.

It is more like being in a Walmart full of zombies and having all the Walmart employees killing zombies as fast as they can but then when you ask what is up with all the zombies they hand you a shotgun so you can help them by killing the zombies in your immediate vicinity.

On the one hand, in an ideal world there wouldn't be a large and ever growing number of zombies at Walmart, but on the other hand, thanks a million for the shotgun because I'd rather get to killing some zombies myself than whine about the fact that the Walmart employees aren't killing them fast enough while they are eating my brains.

Really? This is kind of like some sort of weird time warp, and the Yahoo mentality of "curating" the internet is back in fashion. Which is weird, because Google came to power because that strategy doesn't work.
I just know you’re going to get downvoted for being unappreciative, but I love the analogy (for its color). And you’re right, it’s a striking “solution.”
