Hey guys, we know you like to have your fun, voice your opinions, and argue over your favorite gear, but over the past few days the tone in comments has really gotten out of hand. What is normally a charged — but fun — environment for our users and editors has become mean, ugly, pointless, and frankly threatening in some situations… and that’s just not acceptable. Some of you out there in the world of anonymous grandstanding have gotten the impression that you run the place, but that’s simply not the case.
Luckily, our commenting community makes up only a small percentage of our readership (and the bad eggs an even smaller part of that number), so while they may be loud, they don’t speak for most people who come to Engadget looking for tech news. Regardless, we’re going to crank things down for a little bit to let everyone just cool off, and we’ll switch them back on when we feel like we’ve shaken some of the trolls and spammers loose from the branches (AKA swing the banhammer in our downtime). See you on the other side!
My wife cries after almost every movie we see with a happy or sad ending. One day, we finished watching all 6 episodes of Star Wars (one per day) and she just lost it! I couldn’t help but laugh because she was crying about R2D2 and Vader! So, I jumped up, grabbed our camera, and got an amazing interview from her. I then did what any loving husband would do… I uploaded it to YouTube :)
The next step that seemed to be most appropriate was to create a website. Thus, cryingwife.com was born! Come here to get the latest videos, suggest movies, and vote on the next movie to which her tears will pour like Niagara Falls.
