Sunnybeach7 - I also feel it panders to the "car wreck syndrome"
We know we don't want to see it, we know that it is horrible and gruesome but we can't take our eyes off of it.

To answer your question...
"we all have the option of just never reading the offending blog again.
Why is it that we do not seem able to do that?"
It is because, anytime we see someone about to walk off of a cliff, we have an incredible urge to call out to them to "STOP!", even though we know they will go ahead and do it anyway.
We get into denial that someone could actually do that, so it plays on our minds constantly.
