I think we had a thread akin to this before, but I'll be fucked if I can find it. Amazing site: http://leasthelpful.com/

Before any of you turgid gits discuss your hot water appliances again, take advice from this helpful reader.

I love Wino as a guitarist and songwriter, but he's an utter fuck nut when it comes to exactly that sort of thing. He believes there are cities underground filled with millions of people. Amazing.

1: This is an tumblr and tumblr loads too slowly even for if it has special naked pics of my favourite actresses so fuck Tumblr. They can't even spell tumbler.

2: I think most of these reviews are made up. Well, obviously they all are, but you know what I mean. They're on a par with those iPhone predictive text hilarities people keep thinking I give a vole's cunt about.

Read the deliberately inaccurate review, and then laugh at the morons who write in flaming you and thought it was genuine.

Yeah you're right. The fact that some are obviously made up makes them not funny at all. We should burn them.

If they're not real, they're a damned sight more inventive and witty than all the fake SMS ones. I loved the above ones.

Whereas these reviews of David Hasselhoff's Greatest Hits:Remastered are prolly the most helpful anywhere in the multiverse.

Can't really see why that should make a difference. I wasn't watching it as a period display of technology, I was watching what I thought was going to be a film.

I was only a kid.

Pfft, Fantasia is only 12 years old. Pixar could've done better.

It's accurate. Fantasia is an art piece set to classical music, not a film as such.

Huh.

Well it's likely better than a film starring Mickey Mouse anyway. Tedious character that he is.

Old Mickey (black & white days) was great and that's why he became so popular. As they introduced Donald and Goofy, Mickey seemed to get toned back until he became the do-gooder milquetoast we now know.

That's because it's been laid out by someone who doesn't care about readability.

13px Verdana with a line-height of 16px and a measure of 90 is way too tight to be comfortable for most people.

Go go cramming as much shit into a pre-defined space as possible.
