I would gladly do this, but only if I can make it ESPECIALLY gay.

Hmmm, bullet-point review, interesting. And by "interesting," I mean, what a fucktard. Whatever.

That Gilesorr dude is the best entertainment I've had in years. One gem from ElementaryOS 'review':
"apt-get update" inspires a MASSIVE (34.7 MB - never seen anything like it before) round of downloading

I would have done it like this, so it wouldn't cause "panic" for the "ElementaryOS customers" 0.000037 PetaByte upgrade <------------- sorry couldn't help myself.

I heard, or think I heard the word "command" once in there. But that is how every BBQ spin should be presented, only the &%¤/&¤#%#"¤%#&%/& would try it! ;)

I love it when people get bent by the release names. It means they won't come here and annoy us.
