Everyone knows there are some sites/blogs that do all of those things. They are all over the internet and of course they are annoying and everyone hates them except the people who get a few cents each time someone clicks on them due to one of their articles being linked from reddit/digg etc.
Doing a cheesy/obvious top ten list is only intended to end up on Digg... and now it seems to have become enough to end up on HN.
