I bet it’s a joke as well, but it’s not witty enough to work as a joke, the “inside jokes” should make you feel clever and exclusive when you see them. And I should know, I’ve been falling flat on my face trying to be clever on the Internet for years.
You don't remember this?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burger_King_advertising#Kids_Cl... That kid in the wheelchair? His name was Wheelz. Not kidding.
HAHA that brings back memories.

#34This has to be some kind of undiscovered April fools joke, or something some designer put together as a joke that went live. However, worst kids club characters? or best!

I believe that was the episode where FopTop taught Glasses how to be a refined lady in order to impress e-m@le, but then in the end realized that e-m@le liked her for who she was, not who she thought he wanted her to be.

#37I wrote about this the other day - I thought for sure it had to be a late april fools joke but once i started to get their emails I realized it was for serious. I don't get why they spend so much money on worthless content - just show the deals.
