I have to agree with those who object to the "Britney dead!" and "Bush Dead!" threads in Omni.

While both threads are indeed offensive, my objection is based more on the fact that they are false, and therefore annoying.

I have often been alerted to breaking news while browsing FT, and to be drawn into these ridiculous threads is an annoying waste of my time.

I don't think we should create a precedent of allowing people to knowingly and intentionaly post false information.
