DO NOT READ

Greetings! (to someone who obviously doesn't know how to follow instructions). Didn't you see the title above- "Do Not Read"? So why are you reading this? I mean, come on, seriously, it's three very simple words. DO. NOT. READ. In case you haven’t gotten the huge tip that I am trying to give you, I will say it simply. I do not want you to read this article. I want you to turn the page right NOW. Did you turn it? Obviously not. If you did then you did then you wouldn't still be here. Something must be wrong. Why else would someone disregard direct orders and do the opposite? I have to admit though, a "NO TOUCHING" sign does make an object look even more touchable. I guess that is my point. Babies like to take things they know they cannot have. When you give them something that they are allowed they don't want it. The same concept applies to us. "DO NOT DISTURB" signs make it even more fun to bang on the door and "NO LOITERING" signs just make us want to hang around by an empty wall for no reason. But why? I think that we like to be challenged. People like to feel like they can do what they want and live above the law. Of course none of us really touch those oh-so-touchable objects (well MOST of us don't), but the point is this: We should take more caution when it comes to directions. No one really cares if you read an article called "Do Not Read", But we do need to know when to stop. Now that that has been cleared up I just have one more thing to say. Why the heck are you still here?! Stop reading already!!
