'He has the same charisma and charm that we have come to know in R2D2.' And apparently 'Hasbro also has programmed secret commands into R2D2 - putting an emphasis on the upper end of the "8-and-over" target market.' Rocky Mountain News has this article on it. You can also go to the (very meager) website that Hasbro has made just for it."

You moderators are funny. One could imagine how this might get a "Funny" rating, but "Interesting"?
Some of you mods must be somewhat sick.

  I remember seeing a goatse.cx link moderated as Insightful. That is really sick.

Another example of spineless cunt moderation here on Slashcrap.

A haiku to commemorate the sucktitude:
Crack Pipe Moderators
Crack smoke wafts though air
Dumb shit moderator!
Try to suck less, please

Why do you hate me?

Mao Tse Tung, Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Pinochet, Mussolini, Marshall Joseph Tito, Slobodan Milosevic, Idi Amin, Ho Chi Minh, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Qaddafi, Juan Peron, Ayatollah Khomeini, Ferdinand Marcos, General Suharto, Pol Pot, Fransisco Franco, and certainly the worst of the bunch, SLASHDOT's editing "community[note similarity to commune/communism]" ALL AGREE on ONE THING:

CENSORSHIP WORKS!

So, you busy little plebian proletariats, get busy, you have some censoring to do!
