Are you really still making Top Tens?
We only ask because um, we couldn’t help but notice from, like, reading and stuff lately, that folks who are the sorts who write Top Ten lists are still really quite big on Top 10 lists. The fact that we’re rolling over another decade on the odometer of time makes it all the more tempting to write these stupid things, but If we may offer some advice, if you have not yet written a Top 10 list for the end of the year or the decade, keep up the good work. Everyone who’s anyone knows that nowadays, Top Tens are for douches.
We don’t care what Umberto Eco says, he can shut up and you can too. From now on, Top 1 lists are the way to go. By way of explanation, here’s the Top 1 reason why you should confine any Top Whatever list you’re thinking about making to one of one: 1 – Because nobody cares anyway, so stop wasting so much time and space jerking off in public, idiot.
Understand? Good. We’ll start with a few easy ones and add on as the urge strikes. Top 1 lists from readers are encouraged and accepted in the comments section.
