Waluigi also receives negative reception. GameDaily listed him as one of the characters they wanted to kill, but couldn't, describing him, "One of the most unimportant characters in video game history".[20] Kotaku editor Mike Fahey commented that Waluigi was his personal most annoying video game character.[21] GamesRadar described Waluigi as a "lame-o villain" in an otherwise great game, referencing Mario Tennis.[22] Editor Henry Gilbert titled his section "Waluigi: The worst character ever", suggesting that the creation process involved the developers of Mario Tennis having no one to fill the final character slot, and conceiving him as an "evil Luigi". He describes such an act as "plunging to the bottom of the intellectual barrel". He also calls Waluigi "disgustingly tall and thin" as opposed to Wario, who he calls a "fatass". He later states that the staff of GamesRadar feels that Waluigi is seen as "less than legitimate" by Nintendo, who he feels may not find him good enough to appear in a main Mario or Wario title.[19] IGN editor Lucas M. Thomas discussed him as a possible, yet unlikely, candidate for a "second banana" character to be playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, commenting that Waluigi, amongst other sidekick characters, are not well-liked.[23] IGN staff, while praising Bowser as one of the most memorable video game villains, criticized both Waluigi and Wario as being "evil twin knockoffs".[24] In 2013, Complex included him among the ten video game characters who look like sex offenders.[25]

Yup he's the loving second banana to the secondary antagonist, yet dude loving slings it. Also if there's one non-profit I think could weather some advertisers trying to expedite the Tragedy of the Commons, it's Wikipedia. All you've got to do is get students everywhere to spend like, 10 minutes a day checking and curating recent changes as part of their participation grade and you're golden.

I've had to work with a lot of advertising people. They've paid for a fair few of my lunches. Consider: Andrea Scaglione  Andrew Ladden  Bill Davaris These people were paid employees of the ad agency Oglivy back in 2002. That year their client was Coca-Cola, who was looking for a new tag line for the soft drink Fanta- and what was that tag line? How did they earn that six-figure salary? That's right: "Wanta Fanta!" We know at it was these three because Scaglione was so proud of it she edited the Fanta wikipedia page.  The is no form of labor in the modern world with a greater discrepancy between talent required and remuneration. Atleast daytraders need to have a little guile- they can't just be Ivy League degrees pinned to some ambulatory meat. Does Dilkington have a vendetta against ad people- maybe even specifically against these three people? Has he met all three or maybe just one at a party in DC and found them incredibly loathsome? No- just spilled Fanta on myself while driving is all.

we make fun of wikipedia, rightfully, for its preoccupation with idiotic things, and tendency to attract and be directed primarily by insecure, obsessive nerds who delight in paying adenoidal attention and arguing at length in appeal to its arbitrary, persnickety guidelines and dumb nerdy hierarchy of editors, but their preoccupation with citations and verifying sources has, in spite of everything, resulted in it being one of the strongest readily available information resources on the internet ever to be convicted of raping a flamingo to death in 1997 go seahawks

Wikipedia is overconcerned with anime and sonic. Wikipedia's vandalization by a for-profit company that thinks they're cool for making GBS threads on a public good is disgusting and should be universally reviled. gently caress North Face.
