"Garrett Davis" (GarrettDavis)

What kind of free speech hating, commy loving, constitution violating bastards run this site anyway? All I wanted to do is make Lexus feel bad and make a witty "only the social elite like me will catch this reference" reference to an obscure film that is still relevant in my heart and to my unique personality. But noooooo, Lexus thinks they're better than us, and demanded that they be placed upon a pedestal far above where our lowly comments can reach them. Of course their ever loyal lap dogs at Jalopnik conceded immediately to their every wish. Pathetic.
ANYWAY. My super obscure and witty reference was supposed to be to this early 90's film you've probably never heard of, but if you catch the reference, it means we're like totally internet brothers on the front lines against internet tyranny like this. No, stop that. We don't high five, we only brush the hair out of our eyes and say "chya, totally."
Title of the article:
Witty yet edgy response:
*cough*
Yep. I'm bored. Satire is fun.

I wanted to comment about how I couldn't afford their cars and see if they would offer me discounts. :p

Ironically, it is free market $$$ that keeps discussions shut like the cell doors in a soviet gulag on sponsored posts.

Sponsored posts make up for those of us who use AdBlock in our browsers. I'm okay with it.

If they would let jalops comment on this article, there would be 200 comments saying the word "Beige", 350 comments about the lack of manual transmission and 500 comments with this image.

Edit: I should have prefaced my comment with the fact that I agree that it's annoying that you can't comment on sponsored posts especially those that are especially irritating. However, free speech is not a compelling argument for why you should be allowed to.
Yet again XKCD summarizes how I feel when people complain about free speech on the internet:
Mouse over text: I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.

Just to be clear, everything I said apart from that I'm bored was 100% satire. I agree with you and XKCD completely.

I figured. It's just weird that you wrote this post the same day (within about an hour actually) of when I caught up from last week's XKCD.

Close second: "Google it." What this means is that I can't actually provide proof of the assertions I'm pulling out of my ass, and the likelihood that I'm completely full of shit is near-certain, but instead of admitting this, I'm sending you off to do the homework I should have done before clicking "Publish" last time.

I'll agree to that. People that are too lazy to do the research to defend their answers / are afraid that doing research might change their mind.

Sometimes I'll actually Google it if I think the top link will rebut what the bozo just said, and not direct me to some ridiculous right-wing website. I love typing "Wrong: http://www.youarefullofshit.com/whyyouarefullo…
