laughing at some amazon.com reviews,
i found, just thought i would share:

"I'll be honest, unlike most fans here, I have a very hard time listening to "Mother Earth". It's just too opera oriented for my Metal taste." http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00062ZE3U/ref=cm_lm_fullview_prod_15/103-4695632-9587834?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=5174

"This was the band that switched me from pop to doom metal a little over 5 years ago so if you are trying to convert someone then this would be a great start." http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00095MKXG/qid=1137054372/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-4695632-9587834?s=music&v=glance&n=5174

"Triarchy is one of my favorite albums by Rotting Christ. Sakis, their singer, delivers Deathishlike vocals. Unlike the previousreviewer, I can understand everything he saying. No problemswhatsoever. The one thing about this release and other albums by RC, are the catchy rhythym, greatmind blowing quitar riffs, and awesome keyboards. If you're intomelodic Black/Death metal, this is for you." http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000005HMZ/qid=1137054541/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-4695632-9587834?s=music&v=glance&n=5174

"This is the real thing. Not something to be toyed with. Rotting Christ displays true force in this album! Their ability to make wonderful music is what has made them one of my favorite bands!" (are you implying that i was toying with rotting christ?) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004WFJJ/qid=1137054541/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_7/103-4695632-9587834?s=music&v=glance&n=5174

1. I don't have any handy but the funniest reviews are for literary classics
written by disgruntled highschoolers who obviously has the book assigned.

2. damn, you are right,
"Tomfoolery, mediocrity, and more., December 5, 2005
Reviewer: S. Shen "Uneducated Fool" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Possibly the most uninspiring and redundant book I've ever read, Wuthering Heights is inundated with Emily Bronte's so-called unique style. It's style is unique alright, if by unique you mean a brand new alternative form of euthanasia. Nevermind the fact that Bronte's "paragraphs", which are actually composed of one or two extremely long sentences, have superfluous clauses slapped on top of each other repeatedly. The syntax of these sentences is not stiff or constipated, but in fact, it is just the opposite. It is more like the imbibement of heavy laxatives, and the resulting inducement of loose and watery diarrhea that runs across the pages, unpredictable in its rampant tides that sends everyone over the hills. When do the prepositional phrases stop Emily? When? Unfortunately, this was a book that I was required to read for school, and I managed to read a grand total of half of the book before I shut it, never to bother it again. However, what do I know, I'm just a high school student that is just following his personal intuitions about Wuthering Heights. For a more thought-provoking and relevant book in modern-day society, go read George Orwell's 1984. You'd be surprised at how its content trumps the romantic trainwreck that is the brainchild of Emily Bronte" - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/0553212583/ref=cm_cr_dp_2_1/103-4695632-9587834?%5Fencoding=UTF8&customer-reviews.sort%5Fby=-SubmissionDate&n=283155

i remember having that book read to me, word for word, in community college.
