This is a clever idea doing something useful:

https://donotlink.it/

You take a link from a site that you detest (the Express, say) and whose rankings you don't want to boost. It returns a short URL which takes the reader to that site when they click on it, but obscures the origin of the click (the REFERER attribute) and makes sure that the click doesn't boost the site's rankings on search engines.

Demo (not to a site many people here are likely to object to, though):
