Do not ever go to read an article on USA Today [View all]

That has got to be the worst website on the Internet. You can't read the article, since it keeps jumping around while more and more advertisements load, and it bogs your computer down for a good ten minutes as it continuously download adware and bloatware, during which time you can do nothing. Even closing the browser does not stop the continuous downloading of all the crap that USA Today is transmitting to your machine, and anything you try to do on the computer will be very slow.
