Men in lingerie has something to do with race issues?
As if the Maven bar wasn't already an intrusive, and generally, poorly thought-out feature that should be placed in the margins rather than over the page as I scroll... the relevancy of the articles is absolutely non-existent.
As I scroll an article concerning race issues, what do I see, the Maven bar popping up with, "Men in Lingerie," a practice I have taken part in myself so perhaps mildly relevant to me rather than the article. What else was in line on the Maven bar with men in lingerie? How to grow some plant that isn't even suited to the state in which I live, poems to make my boyfriend cry, something about the composition of boogers, a collection of book reviews on some author I've never heard of, and the last thing I remember is the only relevant article (slightly) which was about Rosa Parks (which I had to scroll over to find, as it was hidden behind the irrelevant articles).
Now, far be it from me to not enjoy a good joke about browser history, but just for fun I checked the source code on the site and the Maven bar does not touch on very relevant content to form these suggestions. Thus, I present it once more as a, "men in lingerie," article disgraces a race issue article with its presence, that the Maven bar as it is now is absolutely invasive, poorly implemented, and needs to be addressed constructively for the good of everyone and their readers.
