Just plain annoying

Does anybody know how I tell MSN.com/Bing how annoying they are?  You know when you click on something on the MSN page that looks interesting and it takes you to a page that says crap like "it happened at a fraternity (what fraternity?) and "covered with condiments like this, this, and this".  And then you're supposed to click on the blue words to go to a search page to find out what they should have told you in the article in the first place instead of making you waste your time hunting for it.

I suppose they are trying to make "Bing" as popular as"Google".  It's not going to work for several reasons.
  1. "Bing it" just isn't as catchy as "Google it", and don't even try "binged it" compared to "googled it". 
  2. It's such a tease.  When you say "click here" to find out who this celebrity is with the botched cosmetic surgery, tell me who it is - don't make me hunt for the answer.  That's just rude.
  3. You know, if you really want me to like you - DON'T ANNOY ME!
