MTL Blog strives to provide its readers with exciting and riveting content about the who, what, when and where of Montreal's must-try everything — but sometimes our audience doesn't even bother to read our stuff. Seriously... what gives?

Now, while some might think stories about Élisabeth Rioux, city rankings and articles that scream "slow news day" are embarrassing, the joke's on you... because they give us views for days. For days.

"Who's she?" one commenter posts below a Héléne Boudreau post. You know exactly who she is.

However, there are definitely articles that underperform, so you can definitely have your laughs, don't worry.

Whether it's hard-hitting coverage on Quebec's television claim to fame Occupation Double, or a Health Canada piece on the most random food item that's being recalled for the most random reason from some random store in Quebec, you can always count on us for the news we know Montrealers not only need, but deserve.

However, sometimes you really don't f*cking care, eh? Like...for real. And these nine articles are legit proof of just that:
