  1. Don't ya just love it... by gpinzone · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    ...when an article gets posted and it's written in a way that you're expected to know exaclty what the heck the obscure topic is about? If you're writing the Matrix or Star Trek, it's a safe bet that people have heard about it. This obviously isn't as "big," so what the hell is this about and why should I care. This isn't a troll; I'm serious. I'm sure it's a good book, or movie, or whatever it is, but a little background would be nice.
