I think you mean PayPal pulled a similar guerilla marketing stunt, unless the people wearing the t-shirts were trained monkeys. ;)

- hugh3 16y agoIf you want to be nitpicky, gorillas aren't monkeys. edit: Really, people? You modded me up to 17 for making a nitpick about simian taxonomy?

- shabda 16y agoOok, ook.

- kragen 16y agoYes. If you look at my recent comment history, you'll see that, by far, the most effective strategy I've found for getting comments with lots of upvotes is to find a factual error in somebody else's comment and correct it in a clear and unambiguous fashion; and within that constraint, the shorter the better. You'll see that I got a comment consisting entirely of "[citation needed]" voted up to 7. Long comments have essentially no chance of being voted up significantly. Other things that have very little chance: speculations about the implications of something, wild and surprising analogies, speculation on others' motives, advocacy of norms. This is really unfortunate, because those are the comments I most value reading. I really get no value, beyond a little humor, from reading that gorillas aren't monkeys, since I already know that.
- mlinsey 16y agoDepends on who you are. If you look at my comment history, you'll find several very long comments with many, many upvotes. On the other hand, when I tried to do the "quick one line correction" thing in this thread, it didn't turn out too well! (though at least it was a nice setup for hugh3)
