Boing Boing Gadgets Astroturfed By Viral Marketer Working for Motorola
Over at Boing Boing Gadgets, our Joel has an extremely funny and acidic post up about a viral marketer who appears to be astroturfing in our comment threads on behalf of Motorola. Boing Boing Gadgets commenters respond in kind, and a comment war of wall-to-wall LOL ensues. Go read the whole thing, please: Motorola, could you please tell your viral marketer to get out of our comments? (gadgets.boingboing.net)
Oh, and hey, Joel -- I'm so glad my boss isn't like that! I'm working for Boing Boing right now, and became a huge fan of the Yeti Robot Sex blog post genre. I especially like YouTube dance remix. It's awesome!

Ever since I started working with Boingboing I have became a huge fan of the blog (www.boingboing.net). With a full list of features, like posts, I can't stop obsessing over it.
Ever since I started working in the comment mines, I have became a huge fan of disemvowelling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disemvoweling). With a full list of features, like full deletion of vowels, I can't stop obsessing over it.
Ever since I realized my divine inspiration and holy mission I've become a huge fan of myself. With a full list of features like omniscience and infallibility (and limitless charm), I can't stop obsessing over how I'm going to slowly yard out this Motorola parasite's intestines and feed them to him lightly seared with wasabi soy sauce.
This looks amazing! Ever since I was born, I have become a huge fan of stuff and things. With a full list of features, like options and such, I can't stop obsessing over how damned wonderful it is to be alive.
Ever since I started working with Motorola i realized how much they suck. I've gotten really into worrying about my financial future and my pension. i have the distinct feeling i'm going to be fired soon.
ever since i started breathing i have become a huge fan of oxygen! with a full set of atomic particles, like protons, netrons, and electrons, i can't stop obsessing over this molecular life giver! it's awesome!
Ever since I started reading this post, I've been on a hunting trip. And I bagged me a troll. The Motospammer has been busted here on BB under numerous guises. He won't be back.
smoke me a liver?
takuan - assuming you could get someone to actually ingest their own intestines, you have one end of a tube feeding into the other end. I think you could wad them up into a tight little sphere, which would save on postage when you mail them back to Motorola.
ein klein Klein Spammer? Ja!

I'm so glad your mother isn't like that! I'm working with her right now, and became a huge fan of her entry portal (yomomma.com/entry_portal). I especially like the full touch she gives me (mucous membranes, etc.) It's awesome!
Motorola should attempt to buy back some goodwill by tossing a few free phones into the BB sweepstakes basket.

If they hurry, they can get in on the Krave poetry going on over in the comments.
I'm so glad the BoingBoing message boards aren't like that! I'm reading them right now, and became a huge fan of exploitable memes. I especially like ones that didn't originate on 4chan. They're awesome!
I favor sending them an invoice for the advertising. At the standard FM rates of course. When they deny payment? Take them to small claims court. With a declaration to the judge of any award paid being donated to EFF or ACLU etc.

I work for Motorola and they are a fantastic company. I've decided that Motorola will pull an Oprah and give each and every Boing Boing reader a free Krave!
I know my fellow execs at Motorola are already reading this, so please set up a webpage where Boing Boing readers can put in their home addresses so the Kraves can be sent to them before Christmas.
Set up the URL here:
http://motorola.com/boingboingkrave/
Please do this ASAP, or I'll see to it that your asses are fired pronto. I know who you are.
There is a post about this same guy's comments over on TechCrunch: www.crunchgear.com/2008/11/26/youre-doing-it-wrong-motorola-astroturfs-just-about-everyone/
Hmmm... This guy (or bot) has been a busy, busy little bee:
krave + "m goode" - 1510 results
krave + mgoode - 520 results
krave + mgoode08 - 161 results
