Okay. Now I've lost it. I just clicked on the first result for 'how to not be banned from Club Penguin' for nonsense's sake. The suggestions to solve this problem included "Don't report a penguin for fun" among other things and of course "Have a good time and make the other penguins happy!"
what. the. fuck.
I am shaking my head.
The internet is unbelievable.
Did you ever in your right mind during the 90s think it would turn into this?
With that thought, I take my leave.
Have a lovely afternoon.
May you all read a book instead of play online at least once this month.
