Welcome to the pond

Are you KIDDING me??

Please go read the first five paragraphs of this article and try not to laugh too hard. In case you don't understand, here's a clue: the writer repeats the same information THREE times in the first half of the article! Now, I may not have been THE best journalism student, but if I was the person editing this article it would have been MUCH shorter and it would definitely not needlessly repeat the same information over and over. I can't believe this article ever got published as it is!
