Everyone's a Critic

Let's face it - on the information super highway, all of our windows are tinted.  This online anonymity opens the door to unprecedented complaining, belly-aching, protesting, fussing, bemoaning, griping and whining.  I was pleased to see Amazon.com rolling the windows down to expose cyber-whiners.  Their product review interface enables not only member rating systems and written reviews, but allows other users to then rank and comment on reviews.  A for instance of a valuable critical comment:

Sony Playstation 3 HDMI Cable - $29.99

WhineAlltheTime Customer Rating - 1/5 Stars - *

WhineAlltheTime Customer Review - This product stinks!  I turned on my TV after hooking it up and the screen was all black!  What a waste of money!

- Did you change the input on your television to HDMI 1?  Mine works great!  What a bargain?

- Is your Playstation on?  I'm playing Call of Duty World at War at 1080P!

- It is possible that your cable was dead on arrival.  Contact the vendor before posting a scathing review!
