Edited it an embarrassing post of vapid superficiality that was so bad I still randomly think of how horrible it was several years later.

Now we know. But yes, I think that fellow is looking a little puffy and weird, while that lady is looking a bit hollow and reedy, both from being over 40. They both look good for their age, I think.

I don't know if it's just for Explorer but the Kingfisher discus comment thing has gone crazy. It's all sequentially muddled up and looks funny.
EDIT: Sorry not for explorer but for safari, my brain has shut down it seems, apologies. I just thought I'd better let you guys know, I know it's been messing for a while.

Argh thanks Indea, they changed me over to 'new Disqus!!!111" and it's all fucked up now. -___- I'm attempting to sort it out but it's super annoying.

For now I just put a comment in about how to sort of unfuck it, but I think they fucked it up majorly and I hate them.

With this level of fuckery you'd think they were trying to compete with telephone companies or something.

For real. They're always changing junk up and removing features and replacing them with "SOCIAL NETWORK INTEGRATION" like anyone wants that. -__-

I generally try to avoid learning too much about people that make things I like, on account of it can often make it difficult to enjoy the product. Especially if I already have invested money in said product.
Now I have half a dozen Penny Arcade t-shirts I can't bring myself to wear ever again. Lame.

You could sell the shirts on EBay to those with less scruples. What kind of thing turns you off an famous person/ comicker etc to that point?

So you are battling willful ignorance with willful ignorance by not reading up on these people? Perhaps next time you hear of something cool, you could find out about the person first and save yourself the disappointment? I can't say it's happened to me but maybe I'm just ignorant :B.

He could have stayed ignorant of these people's villainy, but I went and told him about it. Sorry about that! Besides which, they were stealth. They acted cool most of the time for a very long time, then social media brought more opportunities to fuck up, and someone revealed himself to be a colossal shit.
edit- Keyword too is "willful" ignorance. Not reading up on everything that presents itself for your amusement is a reasonable way to go through life. I hear a tune on the radio and I don't think "Hm, I should look up the bios of the band members to see if they're nazis before deciding whether or not I like this.
Conversely, the Penny Arcade dude has had education about what he did wrong soft-pedaled to him and handed to him on a silver platter, and he's responded like a hate-filled man baby. Not exactly equivalent to the sin of liking something without doing a research project on its creators.

One of my friends is VERY in to PAX and the Penny Arcade comic (apparently, there's a video game and podcast too? I dunno, the only webcomic I follow is Garfield without Garfield. Kidding! But I don't read PA). So I'm at a point where I dunno whether or not to mention the discussed villainy (which is actually a chain of incidents/twitter comments/controversies). I'm not really good at judging IRL social situations.

Garfield without Garfield... Awww yes.
I'd say it depends on whether you're annoyed by this person bringing up PA stuff, whether you think they'd benefit from knowing about it, and how much you like the person. Oh, and professional relationship, if you have one.
If you didn't have a professional relationship to worry about and you don't care if they're upset, lay it all out, and laugh maniacally. Opposite extreme - they're both a co-worker and an emotionally fragile person that needs any rock to lash themselves to in the turbulent seas of life, don't mention it.

@chris- I realise that, I was being pretty facetious, it's a terrible habit of mine. If people have tried to educate him and show the errors of his thoughts though, doesn't that make him not so much ignorant, rather than just a vacuous bigot?
