10 bucks says every regular on Hot Deals is on the list of people griping and purchasing the maximum number of "frowny's" And probably threatening a class action suit to boot.... ;)


Hot deals disclaimer, I am of course kidding about the bet and not actually willing to bet someone 10 dollars......

That's hilarious - some people didn't even realize that it's a big joke! :)

:) <--- Uh oh, I suppose I'm a criminal now.

I think it's supposed to be :-( not :)

lots of people fell for this joke when they announced it - i think they were making a statement about the all lame online patents (like amazon's one-click)

we're really going to give you something to :-(® about.&quot;
