Mashable has jumped the shark – or is that jumped the puff

I honestly couldn’t believe it when I saw this show up as a shared item. I have no problem with sponsored posts as long as they are for products or services within your area of interest and expertise. However can some-one please explain how Cheetos fits in with Mashable subjects?

What makes this even worse though is that 318 people were brain dead enough to think that this piece of shill was worth retweeting.

I am totally dumbfounded.
