    Dear rotten.com,

    I am unsure if you are aware of the problems that your "Incident with the bird" picture has caused on the popular technology website slashdot (http://slashdot.org).
    Many users of this site's messageboards are posting links to http://smoke.rotten.com/bird/ and making text based representations of a bird on a man's penis. Frankly, while I am pro-freedom, this type of photo sickens me. Could you please move the location of the bird page on your site to keep slashdot readers from seeing things that are completeley unrelated to computers and technology? I'm not asking you to remove the content, just to relocate it.
    FYI the text representation of the bird is:
    *p_e_n_i_s_b_i_r_d_p_e_n_i_s_b_i_r_d*

     (Note: CmdrTaco's penis length exaggerated for effect only)
    with a link to the offensive site (http://smoke.rotten.com/bird/) underneath, these "Penis Birds" are posted by Penis Bird Guy, Penis Bird MAN and several other users.

    Yes man, you did. How is it that you (Anonymous Coward) manages to get so many first posts? You should be really proud. If I ever pass you in the street I'd like to shake your hand.

    Nice troll. I especially liked the "gay sex and open-source software" bit, it put a nice bigoted spin on the whole thing.

    Ok, maybe I got the date of her resignation incorrect, but how does that make it a troll? From this perspective I say that your comment is a troll.
