Behold! A flowering perennial of most becoming prodigious-ity has taken root. Sensitive sinus sufferers beware: this article is under the green thumb of

Humour: 5 Note 1. “Something stupid this way cometh.” How funny! This line diffused my initial apprehension in reading this article. For some reason, it reassures the reader and gives them something to look forward to as opposed to discouraging them that the article is another exercise in novelty. Essentially, the line allays any initial prejudice against the article the reader may have.

Note 2. The quotes didn’t elicit any lols.

Note 3. I found myself paying more attention to the links than the actual article which I understand to be the crux of this article: but the links themselves were uninspired. For example, some redirects were predictable contrasts (examples. Always to Never, Comprehensive to Incomplete, and George Lucas to Steven Spielberg); other redirects were exercises in 6 Degrees of Cliché (examples. Dangerous to Grues, Paris Hilton to Whore, and Minds to Testicle); and several redirects were unwelcome forays into the absurd (examples. Scooby Doo to Jimbo Wales, Sophisticated to Submarine, and Candy to Coke).

Note 4. Paying more attention to the links, one rarely if ever paid attention to the prose: but when one ever did, no lols.

Note 5. "some of the co-inventors of Pages with Links that Don't Lead to Where they Say They Do:" 

   * Nuck Chorris
   * Evil Jesus
   * Michael Ellis
   * Your mom
   * Dennis Moore
   * bad writers

I don’t mind employing lists. But this list witnesses cliché, mystification, and gnashing of teeth. Also, the previous list “Links That Go to the Wrong Page of the Site They're On” did not elicit any lols.

Note 6. "But I'm sure you're wondering, how do I protect myself from such horrid things as Pages with Links that Don't Lead to Where they Say They Do?" Actually, no. I was still wondering about what just happened a paragraph previous and was reorienting myself to the article. Even then, the concluding remarks of the article do not offer any semblance of “help” but rather witness intensifying ramblings that do not strengthen the article but actually leave the reader with a lingering distaste.

Concept: 8 A promising concept tempts one to slack off and let the premises run to their logical conclusions but that leads to that “one-trick pony” phenomena. No resting on one’s creative laurels: one must actively oversee the development of the idea from its inception to its maturation as the article amongst articles. Essentially, the concept is only one of many elements comprising a successful article. Complement the deliberate mis-redirects with humorous prose.
Prose and formatting: 5 "Multiple Paper Anchors When You Get Them Tangled Up: People say I'm crazy for using pages attached to chains as anchors, but have they ever counted the number of manatees killed by sinking anchors every year? They only say I'm not an environmentalist because I drive a Hummer and I use the expensive gasoline and I took out the pollution filter to let it make a cooler sound, but I don't see them doing us a favor!"

Jarring. This part exacerbates and highlights the already disjointed movement of the article.

Images: 5 The pictures, thoroughly unmemorable, when memorable are crass. Especially the bottom right.
Miscellaneous: 5.8 Averaged.
Final Score: 28.8 The writer with this particular concept, while promising and providing one with a solid outline to work with, must work all the harder to negotiate the pitfalls of cliche and one trick pony-ism. Work on your prose. Regarding the misdirected links: pervert creative license! Those misdirections give you the opportunity to produce startlingly profound and ticklingly funny juxtapositions. Above all else, vigilance! Constant vigilance! Don't let the concept wholly comprise the article.
