From CNN:

Study: T-rex could outrun David Beckham

Apparently, scientists have discovered that the average T-Rex could run at speeds up to 18 miles per hour, outrunning most modern athletes.

"Our research... suggests that while not incredibly fast, this carnivore was certainly capable of running and would have little difficulty in chasing down footballer David Beckham, for instance," said Phil Manning, a paleontologist at the University of Manchester.

This seems like a bit of the old "fuck you" to Mr. Beckham. Honestly, Dr. Manning, what did David Beckham ever do to you that you pick him to be a T-Rex's lunch?

Or was CNN just hoping for a piece of the David Beckham pie-- that is, by mentioning David Beckham in an article, all the David Beckham fans would click on it and increase the site's hits.

I find that apalling. Just using David Beckham like that?! Shameful. Honestly. David Beckham-- and all of David Beckham's fans-- deserve better then someone simply fitting David Beckham's name into an article as many times as humanly possible simply to drive up readership.

On behalf of the entire internet, I'd like to apologize to David Beckham, and promise to my readers that you'll never see such a tacky display of pandering on this site.
