Gizmodo the new big brother

Internet's evolution has made available to the public eye milions of webpages which act as online journalists sharing with everyone ideas, experiences, new stuff, and anything else one can imagine. As such those webpages are constantly available to everyone interested for information purposes, critique. Especially some news websites allow comments on their articles, just like blogs do. Some websites allow everyone to comment, some exclude swearing words, some ask for a subscription, some moderate heavily the comments and some demand from the random commenter to audit for having the right to comment!
HOLLY FUCKING SHIT! I HAVE TO PASS AN AUDITION TO BE ABLE TO COMMENT ON A FRACKING PASSAGE ON A FRACKING WEBPAGE. The writers can comment on whatever shit they come across no matter how trivial or boring that might be, showing it to thousands or millions viewers while the people reading it have to go through a special treatment to be allowed to share their views with the author.











I partially understand their need to moderate the content of comments, but this is from another fracking galaxy. Oh yea, welcome to the US.

update:
the official word is that they do that to avoid spammers, and advertising comments.
