I was surprised to see a Buzzfeed link on the front page of HN, and my initial thought was, "Really? How did this happen?"

But, this is a surprisingly well done piece. Maybe the dude who started Buzzfeed wasn't really bullshitting us when he said he didn't want to just make a linkbait site. This is article actual journalism on a level comparable to much more "respectable" sources. I'm impressed, and I hope this is a trend. If Buzzfeed uses their massive facebook click machine for good rather than mindless entertainment, I'll be even more impressed.
