I'm reading this and is this writer trying to be funny or sarcastic? Cause I'm not laughing. I mean, this guy's nitpicking on our nitpicks. The point of IMFDB is to point out firearms and how they are used and presented in films and TV. I'm glad all this guy does is just films cause if he gets to the games and anime section, he'll have a hissy fit.

The guy ought to know that since we're identifying and describing guns used in films, we're gonna notice things like incorrect stances and what attachments are on an extra's pistol or long gun. It's not ridiculous, it's called an eye for detail and it's not something I'm gonna be ashamed of because of some anonymous Internet critic.

Also, the screencap from xXx of Gold Tooth with the AKM... even I'm dumbfounded as to what that means...

And what exactly would linking to a gun on eBay source anyway? That eBay allows gun sales? That eBay is a secretly militant organization arming its operatives?

Look, IMFDB is about IDing guns, not really voicing opinions on the films or shows we cap from. Ok, bad excuse, my Black Lagoon page has a lot of funny comments, but they are all very relative to the Anime.

I'm actually more surprise that there's a guy who had the time to waste on writing on the nitpicks. It's just annoying sometimes, but it does serve to remind us to keep trying to better the site of idiots and be more professional in our work

I wouldn't get too worked up about it, it is an SA piece after all, tongue firmly in cheek should be assumed.

I giggled a couple times - and all press is good press, traffic has ticked up today.

The "Mossbergs eat children" piece gave me a laugh.

At first I didn't get that joke. I did that screencap for 'The Happening'. I was just pointing out what all that red viscera was on the doorframe and wall. Also, again, the blood splatter would NOT fly towards the shooter but away. But after a bit I kinda got it. I suppose I see the stuff too literally.

Oh, I agree completely that it's not worth getting excited about. But I do think some of the jokes fall a little flat.

Traffic's been increasing a lot lately. I remember when we were at 1 million viewers in March. Now, we're up to 3.5 million.
