No joke. Here, everyone read this (links contain profanity):

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/07/07

and this:

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/11/03

I'm just going to throw this out there. No offense to anybody, but I can take spelling mistakes, the occasional punctuation error. Heck, I don't even mind all caps or no caps.

But I'm sorry, please, PLEASE start using something besides commas to separate out a long post like this! I gave up at about the middle of the second line!

Call me a grammar Nazi if you feel like it, I know you are going to anyway. But c'mon guys! At least make an effort if you are going to post on a public forum like this!
