You have to read the whole site to appreciate the genius of it. Who cares if there are grammatical errors, the guy is hilarious! It's a great Friday read if you are looking for a laugh and then consider that if he got a proofreader might be the greatest copywriting you find this month.

This article which starts with the idea that people do read everything this author writes, is horrible. The grammatical and spelling errors alone stopped me after 3 minutes. Besides the fact the topic itself is without basis.

I would agree, that felt like a little link bait to me.

Writing link bait is a legitimate job skill, it's harder than it looks and the execution environment is flakier than any javascript engine.

You read for a whole 3 minutes? I'd call that a success on his part. And if the grammatical errors stopped you from reading further, then perhaps you're not his target audience ;)
