I have given you all wonderful reviews because it is the hope that kills you.

The robots are using it to weed out potential leaders of the future rebellion for when they are in power after the Mechanised Wars of 2033. They began in Fort Sumtner when a cupcake ATM was damaged in an assault.

This is so gross it could almost be a viral ad for the next season of Silicon Valley. But it isn't, is it? It's real because of course it is.

You deserve to make better decisions with more information to protect your children and your biggest assets. You have worked so hard to get the reputation you have among the people that know you. As innovators we want to make your life better and have the opportunity to prove how great it feels to be loved by so many in a public space. We are a positivity app launching in November 2015. Whether you love us or our concept or not; we still welcome everyone to explore this online village of love and abundance for all.


Seriously look at that.

I wonder how many times they've practised saying 'People are using our app to be negative about each other? Oh my, we never thought that might happen' in front of a mirror, trying to keep a straight face.

Hmm, I predict the two ladies that are behind this app are going to have an interesting few months.

...and after it launches (if that happens), they will never see the sunlight again as they will be in court forever.

Positive ratings post immediately; negative ratings are queued in a private inbox for 48 hours in case of disputes. If you haven’t registered for the site, and thus can’t contest those negative ratings, your profile only shows positive reviews.


So in the event this batshit nonsense goes live, just never register?

Of course, that'll be automated or else it'll cost money. So you give people 3 out of 5, call them a shitweaselling cuntbiscuit, and it's a 'positive' review.

That account says it's a parody. But I can't tell if that means the whole thing is parody, or that account is a parody of a real app.

Ah, yes. That tweet rather suggests that's the case. An impressive amount of effort if that's so.

No issue then if you stay away it doesn't matter what sort of negative shite you get nobody sees it until you join.

If its real and goes ahead they will have some legal issues I would guess and at some point they will be on the receiving end.


Love this post on their Facebook page

But then people will just put (5/5 *) as fish is a big poopy head.

If all you need is a positive rate count and text reviews still show, these might not have to marry up.
