                  Saved for long-ass diatribe about how the Green Site never would have posted something like this, or about how they had this first, or about how it doesn't matter when the Green Site posted it because this is more about horrific-looking kneecap photoshop COMMUNITY and if you don't like it then you can just fark off back to the Green Site but I'm staying here because images like this one show the importance of citizen journalism and community circle-jerking and that's why everyone should commit some money voluntarily even though I haven't but I'm going to try to sound higher than thou about the whole thing even though secretly I'm hoping we hit the $3000 threshold just before I have to get out my wallet and contribute, even though I never did anything similar for the Green Site, which doesn't matter because soylent is people and also news, just not this post which isn't really news at all but rather a reminder about how advancing metaphors in communication allow us to make this a meta-comment about community news sites in general, something the farking Green Site Never .. Would .. Have .. Permitted. Boo ya.
