Hilarious title. -- Seth Finkelstein (talk) 00:43, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It got me too. First I was like: :/, but then I :D'ed. Reso lute 01:35, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent headline! Made me laugh. – SMasters (talk) 04:08, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it could have been vandalism for a moment. --Cybercobra (talk) 06:31, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Me too. I was even going to change it. 76.11.11.253 (talk) 10:41, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was "rolling on the floor". Funniest article here in a long time (perhaps even April 1s) W Nowicki (talk)

By far. 76.11.11.253 (talk) 10:41, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The content of the article is also rather good. Nick-D (talk) 10:55, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was better. I'd love to use something like this as a DYK hook. (I thought we got hacked for a bit) Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:13, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great title, and it's purely great to see how active MER-C has continued to be (since 2006 to my knowledge) in this essential defense of Wikipedia's validity against vanispamcruftisement of all sorts. – Athaenara ✉ 02:46, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I saw the title at the signpost mainpage and my first thought was: "Oh great, now vandals are hitting project pages." Happy to see I was wrong. :) –Drilnoth (T/C) 15:26, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Am I missing something? I read the whole article, but it didn't tell me where I get the Viagra and replica watches from. Surely some external link should be provided? </irony> —An optimist on the run! 16:29, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I really enjoyed reading this article. It is light and fun reading yet it does serious work for the project. It's nice to know that serious things around here can actually at times be enjoyable. Good work everyone! --CrohnieGal^Talk 12:26, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
