Mildly Amusing |1:38 PM|
This IMDB reviewer is amusing for a little while. I miss the old Amazon.com joke reviews of the Family Circus book "I had a frightmare". The reviews implied the book had everything from Kafka-esque metamorphosis to a hard line lambasting of the American system. All the funny ones were deleted after only a day or so, so I won't bother linking to it. I should have saved and mirrored that page, who knew Amazon would be so swift in their
rough justice?
Hmmm. It appears the "fake nice review" is more common than I thought. I guess I was so used to crappy, unclever reviews or terrible sucking up, that I assumed no one would do anything clever with the review system. There is also the widespread problem of
complete idiots writing reviews.
I'm trying to find it, but I know this one reviewer must be getting paid for the terrible, hack-job PR spin doctor garbage that he is writing for some movies. Oh, I checked for him, looks like his reviews have been deleted. I applaud IMDB for that bit of censorship. I will continue looking for people giving
awful movies good reviews for either humor value or as an attempt to hurt people who rent these films.
I would much rather be reading something stunning or informative, but it's impossible to study at work. I should get a book on the five fold path.
