LOL. I don't know if it's on topic, exactly, but it's funnier than most ONION stories. :-)

It's not funny, it's already been done. What do you think these autogenerators have been doing? What is with all the screen scraping? What is snippet compilation?

You could take the top news stories and create a functional, readable page by snippets alone. No author would recognize the story as it would be created out of snippets.

Been there - done that - auto generated content is gravy. Welcome to seo 1999-2000.

Hmm Brett - I don't think they were being serious. Don't forget the story was written by a journalist in the first place :-)

Brett, you need to read the story all the way down to the last paragraph. :-)

I think robots would probably do a better job than a lot of journalists ;)
