Shoe polish and lipstick have been used to make sure food looks freshly cooked. Motor oil has substituted for pancake syrup. It is possible to take a photo of a hot dog without making it look like complete rear end. All it takes is a little effort and a half-decent camera, which is really the least you should expect from a guy who is soliciting $10,000 from strangers to start a business. Also, I'm pretty sure rules in a lot of countries ban advertisers from using inedible products in their food photography. McDonalds can take a nice shot of a hamburger without any Vaseline anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSd0keSj2W8 The point is, someone really needs to make a smiley out of this XKCD:

I love how you included a webcomic that basically summed up your post defending something that has nothing to do with this topic. vv I don't think it counts as a joke if you spend all that time defending something with links and videos.

Is this thread seriously funny enough to warrant a 5? Or have I just been posting in yospos so long that I'm used to higher standards for what qualifies as high comedy?  Anyway, my question for the thread is: when people claim that someone bought them a vanity smiley/avatar, or that they only bought it because 'oh dear, someone made it and I just had to buy it lol!' how often is this true, and how often is this just a cover for their inherent gooniness?

Don't really see how that's "cover" because an uncontrollable urge to spend money on a web forum is pretty much the definition of gooniness.

A kind of an old thing but I could never find an answer for it. A long, long time ago in SA history "data crystals" would show up here and there. I remember a few articles would have somebody more or less randomly saying "please allow me to sell you some data crystals" in a conversation. One of Lowtax's songs from back then had a pitch shifted character saying "You are out of data crystals. Please allow me to sell you some more." Google hasn't really given me much. Is there any sort of reason this was said way back in the day and did it come from anywhere or was it just a random thing?

Today's Steam shots review of daikatana I think mentioned that it has an awful save system involving data crystals, so that might be it.

I agree, you should totally judge a show that is around 60 hours long based on that particular 57 seconds. The other 215,943 seconds are obviously exactly the same, in both content and deliverance.

The Wire is a great show known for its massive cast, deeply layered script, and complex themes dealing with real-world issues. So of course the quirky living cartoon character with the recognizable catchphrase and "badass" trenchcoat and shotgun is the one thing everybody clings to when it comes to talking about the show.
