When they try to catch a meme, or a hot trend according to Google - then put together a badly written piece just to surf off the back of the traffic wave. The Guardian are particularly shameful in doing this - they'll continue to write a bullshit article the minute Google changes their logo, and grab the traffic from the logo clickthrough. see... http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/nov/04/google-doodle-wallace-and-gromit http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/dec/08/ec-segar-popeye-google-doodle http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2009/nov/04/google-doodle-sesame-street-bigbird-40 My own personal peeve?

The ones that link to other sites doing the same thing, that sometimes link to somewhere else useless, until finding the actual content, rather than the potted crap they want to feed you becomes impossible. They are the real leaches, and exist only to steal other's work while getting ad revenue and adding no value.
