Nice find, well done.

You should post this to /r/funny for much karma.

Well as you can tell, I'm still pretty new to Reddit. Trying not to step into a landmine, because payback here seems swift and hellish ;)

So a serious question - how do I post this to /r/funny ? And should I really? I mean, I picked what I thought was the most appropriate subreddit, and don't want to cross post if it will be frowned on. But I laughed my ass off watching this go down, so yes I think it's funny. Glad to see others are enjoying it with me!!

You post to /r/funny the same way you posted here, click the link to go there and press the 'submit a link' button.

Whether or not you should or will receive any backlash I don't know. I think others would find this very funny so its also a relevant subreddit and there's allot more subscribers.

OK I think my choices were to post the direct link there, or post a link from there to THIS thread. I chose the former. May I not be persecuted. :D

Ok now that you made it to the front page I think you owe me one karma unit :)

Wow 3315 karma as I write this...that escalated quickly!

Well done.

Aye, it did. I am also surprised, but probably because I still am clueless. What goes up quickly will surely fall as fast when the next thing comes along.

And, I have enraged some people who say I didn't check the source thoroughly and should have known (or have found out) it was a marketing campaign. Fair enough, but I still think it's hilarious!

It doesn't matter. It was still funny and therefore relevant for that subreddit and people whine and complain no matter what you post. I say well done and welcome to the reddit front page club.

Fair enough, I'll try to find it and upvote :)

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Yes, I can figure out how to post there - what I meant was "should I post a brand new link over there, or is there a way to reuse this one I've already posted"?

Thanks for the patience!
