Yahoo Answers has to be the biggest cluster#@$#@ of idiots on the internet. Besides the obvious issue of 95% of all the answers being just wrong (due to the above), every time i Google for something I inadvertently (and against my will) end up on the site in search of my answer.

That is ~2 seconds wasted for every google search, say I google 40 times a day. I'm out nearly minute and half a day. That works out to over 7 hours of yahoo answers exposure in the year. Common!

Hell half of the time Dramatica entry for the partiular topic on hand will have more relevant info than what h0tBabe32342 thinks is the proper way to pronounce "Les Halles".It's Le'Ahl not Lay-Zahl, bitch!

Google indexes yahoo answers for the same reason why google has anandtech as one of the top links for "bulk beef online" (the first search ironically is the yahoo answer spoof of the question since we changed boards:D).

yahoo answers is for the lulz

Oh I'm all for it, same way I venture to Dramatica for the same purpose. But when I'm looking for something legitimate, Yahoo Answers should in no way be included in the result set.

EDIT:

Better yet google needs a LULZ mode. It would would the same was as safe search, but instead of filtering boobs they'd filter reTards.
