Did You Know Jared Leto Is The Joker?

Jared Leto's Joker look isn't exactly "Fuller House" news and the same media that handled that pseudo-responsibly turned around and jumped all over themselves making you want to click their Jared Leto Joker links. So what made me decide to go with Buzzfeed's "The First Look At Jared Leto As The Joker Is Insanely Intense?" Well, I'm kind of rewarding them. The title isn't that click-baity, but the URL says "Jared Leto as the Joker nightmares so many nightmares," so it's like they resisted temptation. You see thay, MTV News? You can fight the addiction to click-baity titles.

Of course, it doesn't change how the article was presented on Facebook.

But I give them credit for showing the actual picture. Many media sources hid behind an older picture of Jared Leto like the original photo wasn't from Twitter and that the only way you could see it is to click the link. 

I also have to give Buzzfeed credit for not just showing a picture and babbling for however many words search engines like. 350, I think. Buzzfeed got interactive. They polled the readers.

As you can see from the results at the time I responded to this  very scientific study, people are generally positive about Jared Leto's Joker look, with 40% of respondents saying they were terrified and loving it, while another 20% love the look without being scared about it. And out of respect of the fine line between reviewing something and making reading it 100% pointless, I'm going to leave you guessing about the other 40%.

Overall, I have to say this article is only 12% pure click bait. Good job, Buzzfeed!
