<div class="IPBDescription">A completely pointless petition</div> Do not attempt to adjust your monitor. I am now in control. I control the vertical, and the horizontal. I can expand your awareness to encompass an infnity of variation, or shrink it down to focus on the smallest specific detail. Beyond good, beyond evil, beyond even spam itself you begin to approach... A MESSED UP POST!

We all know that online petitions count for exactly squat in the world. A billion people could sign an online petition and nobody would give a damn.

Still, when I saw <a href='http://www.petitiononline.com/hl2kids/petition.html' target='_blank'>This Online Petition</a> I felt the inexorable urge to sign it.

It's pointless, I know, It will NEVER happen, I'm fully aware of that. It counts for absolutely NOTHING, I know! I know!

And yet... Reading those lines, those lines of pure wonder, I must say that even if it counts for nothing it would be wonderful if it could be true.

We now return you to your regular internet experience.

    I think petitions are more of a novelty item, to look at all the comedy comments.

    This may be the first time I've seen someone sign a petition while simultaneously threatening suicide by self-inflictid gunshot wound if the stuff the petition asks for does happen.

    Yeah. check out 31... that guy sure does suck arse... *walks off whistling*

    I think half the people that sign these are just making fun of everybody else. I know that's what I'm thinking.

    I want HL2 released as soon as it's ready. There are other ways to deal with these delay-crybabies. Shall we say... <i>CYBER NINJA ATTACK</i>??
