"Hmm, I may well regret the frog..."

Not at all, the sad part is that it was a totally effective demonstration, in all likelihood :) (must use happy face signal only because there is no "sad clown" equivalent!).

I just hope the proportion of the type of stuff that you described here, versus all the other great things I've read, does die down a bit. Too much of this low-effort post litter, and Steemit just becomes Facebook's third-cousin twice removed, at the family BBQ, who's constantly asking people for money they never pay back... better to avoid them than engage...

But yeah, this article is funny because it's true.
