It's this thing called a "hyperlink", you see. It lets you get to a news 
story that someone else tells you about without having to find it yourself.

And there's this company called google, see, and another called reddit, and 
one called digg, and what they do, see, is they provide links to interesting 
stuff...

Maybe one day newspapers will do a story on such companies.

I'd have forgiven them if it was even obvious from their home page what 
country they were in, ya know? Or if the name was, say, "The New York 
Times."  And, as I said, it's just an annoyance.  But why publish on the 
internet if you're so parochial that you think everyone already knows who 
you are?
