  3. hahahaha

    Seriously "omg they are critisising use and linking to our pages we should do something to censor them!"

    How is that different from a newspaper in the past takeing quotes and critisising them? Satire has been aroubnd for a good 30-40 years and will continue on.

    Indeed a good example
