pretending

Today's Penny Arcade is notable for someone of my acquaintance who may single-handedly be responsible for the widespread current use of the word "shenanigans" in online culture, which was used to describe links when he couldn't find anything nice to say about the content he was getting paid to shill in online forums.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
