This should make the old posts look better and appease the Kinja TOS as well as the top brass at FCA. I understand they didn’t care for poor old Kinja Sergio.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Was there actually complaints about Kinjas Sergio...

Yeah, apparently the head of PR at FCA called Patrick, which made me lol. I’m glad to have wasted someone’s time at FCA. I hope to God that real Sergio read it.
It’s technically a TOS violation to impersonate someone, so I had to ensure to clarify that it was a parody account.

Did a lot of the posts get deleted?
That sucks. Maybe FCA should learn how to take a joke?

No, no deletions, no concerns. Jalopnik’s staff was excellent, but they had to have me change it.
No worries at all on my end.

When I changed the account’s name to “deleted” to abandon it, the old comments looked kinda shitty.
So I figured this was the best compromise.

Patrick commented on one of the older comments that I did asking me to email him so we could chat.

Lol... they never get back to me every time I’ve emailed them so maybe I should pretend to be Akiro Toyoda.

Really? I think I’ve emailed tips in 2 or 3 times. I had a response once and one time Torch did a story and hat tipped me!

Damn. Mopar guys always have an issue. (I’m a Mopar guy. Save the torches!)
That was some of the best Jalopnik commenting I’ve seen in years. That would have gotten a star in the old days.

Man, I remember when Jalopnik wasn’t afraid of pissing off automakers. Jalopnik has really gone downhill under PG, in so many ways.

10/01/2017 at 23:14, STARS: 2
No, not at all. Believe me, it wasn’t that as much as the kinja tos.
What has Patrick done to earn your it? I think Jalopnik is great

Besides gutting the talent, neutering the sub blogs, pulling the rug out from under Sean Macdonald, and hiring writers that can’t put together a sentence, much less know what they’re talking about half the time?

That’s such a great story: you literally had a major auto company get all up in Jalopnik’s business because of your comedy. That’s a life goal right there.

Did this ever appear on Oppo? I’m not mad if it did, but if FCA is calling Patrick about an Oppo post, and I didn’t know, I’m a worse mod than I thought :(

I posted a few times using the Sergio account on Oppo. Just commented.
Is that a violation? If so, I apologise.

Oh I’m not upset, just had a worrying moment that somewhere in my spam folder was a cease-and-desist email from an overzealous PR person.
The good news is that Oppo remains safe from the prying eyes of Mopar executives.

Bruh. I may have little faith in our country’s ability to set any new legal precedent on the First Amendment right now, but there is solid, set precedent regarding parody: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hustler_Magazine_v._Falwell
