Instead of cluttering the front page with fake product announcements, let's just post them in here instead. One thread where each top-level comment is just a title and a link.

- Keverw 9y agohaha. Looks like real product pages but when you click the buy button then it goes to a april fools page! I noticed you got downvotes, people probably thinking you were spamming products. Clever product pages.
