That was funny, but it made me cringe. Looks like the darkside has risen. :(

Yeah... Canon has something planned though. I hope.

The problem is that POTN edits the rude text in the link to "****ed-for-the-foreseeable-future". But that's the one.

That's a pro nikon "comedy" blog, that's what it's become anyway.

The fake Ken Rockwell dude is pro Nikon and so is this dude (probably the same dude).

That said, some of the stuff is true, a lot of it is OTT comedy to be taken with a huge grain of salt.

I mean the "quotes" about the 5Dmkii not focusing is obvious irony (especially obvious if you actually own one). :lol:

Does anyone have the real Chucks' email address?
I'd love to send him this.

Reading that lot was a little like sitting next to a nutter on the bus...
embarrasing and cringeworthy at the time, but funny after....but oooooh so true :D

Looks like the URL was changed because it contained a profanity. The post I linked to is the first one on the "recent posts" on the side bar. Just thought it was a funny read.

And as Stealthy Ninja said.

Don't know his email but I'm he'll hear about it sooner or later from someone he knows. :D

It's been posted on POTN many times before and there is no need to write Chuck - Canon is and has been well aware of the blog for a long time. If I remember correctly, Canon tried to shut it down some time ago - it may have been something about usage of their logo, but can't remember if it was this or another blog.

The censored link is pretty easy to figure out. Just click / link to it, then manually edit the URL in your browser, adding back in the four-letter word.

Looking at the related links at the bottom it seems like you're correct about Canon trying to shut it down.

that blog is nonsense. My 5d2 works flawlessly. Autofocusing much better than my old 5d as well. I have yet to try out the nikon autofocus, for now I'm in heaven

You're right. The whole site is a big joke (literally). :)

IMHO the fake Ken Rockwell one is funnier:
