No bullet points, no highlights, NO LINKS, egad

The Onion has published an article on the horror experienced by readers confronted with a large block of uninterrupted text.
At 3:16 p.m., a deafening sigh was heard across the country as the nation grappled with the daunting cascade of syllables, whose unfamiliar letter-upon-letter structure stretched on for an endless 500 words. Children wailed for the attention of their bewildered parents, businesses were shuttered, and local governments ground to a halt as Americans scanned the text in vain for a web link to click on.
[Yes, I get the irony of excerpting from and linking to this satire.] Thanks to Kim Shiffman, Senior Editor of PROFIT magazine.
