saint_monkeyi was talking to dagoski a long while back, and we mentioned the Family Circus. The sarcastic marxist debade that took place on the Amazon.com reviews page in 1998 was brought up, dagoski wanted to know if it had been removed by Amazon, and the answer is, of course... long ago. I told him about the Dysfunctional Family CCircus and the small battle that it went through with Bil Keane, the artist and author of TFC. It too was removed from the web after a cease and decist from Mr Keane, (austensibly) but a google search for the usernames of some of the commentors, could still bring back the archive.
since i used to comment,i searched for my old username, and bingo! the DFC is STILL floating about on the web.

we also mentioned phony reviews for quite a bit, and i used to write a bunch of them on Amazon.com, after looking it over, it seems that the only one that has survived is my review ofr "Animal Farm"

The pigs screwed it all up October 11, 1998
We had to write a report on a book, and the teacher passed out the list. When I went to the library they were all out of "The Red Pony," so I had to read this one, which had the second smallest number of pages. This one seems to got pictures, but the one I got sure didn't. I read Shaq's book and it was a lot bigger than this but this book took a lot longer to read, for sure. My teacher said I did an OK report, but she thought I missed the point about the socialism society and all. But to me it was just about some pigs. Like those Narnia books by CS Lewis, except CS Lewis had that cool monkey in the last book. I skipped to the end, cause I got bored, (it's ok to say that now, cause I already got the B minus,) and plus I had to go to practice. But I liked the donkey and I was sort of cheesed when the horse bought it. Anyhow, the long and short of it is if you get the choice of this book or the red pony, maybe you should pick the red pony because this one is too damn hard.
