It's on the Target website. At least it was last time I checked.

Yes, this is seriously happening. No, it's not an April Fool's joke.

Should we worry? I don't know. From the announcement on the website it sounds more like they're just going to have someone working over Tom and replace a lot of the ads with their own (for themselves and brands they carry). Might actually make things a lot better---less stupid ads for shitty MMORPGS.

Should we blame Tom? I don't think so, he sure is getting a lot of money off of this. I don't think I could turn down the price they offered him.

Everyone should just relax. It's not the end of the world.

I hope they give the mods a little red vest on our icons. :P

as well as better wages, health insurance, and working conditions. :S

It's not surprising with all these 123dress shit and dress up games clogging up Newgrounds lately, it's all something to do with Target brainwashing us into buying clothing or something

All fun and games now, but imagine what would happen if a professional company, not targetted at entertainment, takes over newgrounds.

All funny cartoony lay out would disappear and you have to buy a subscription if you want to submit content. Like 15 dollar per month or so.

I like how the wrinkles in the paper don't distort the text at all.

I also like how the scanner didn't press down the wrinkles.

We'll get more percent off of things depending on our level.

e.g. As of now I get %8 off everything. Pimp get's %60 off. You get the idea

It's just a rumour. Who's spreading it?

They can't buy Newgrounds - otherwise Newgrounds will just be a stupid cheesy website trying to sell all sorts of crap that we can get from the Wal-Mart down the street.

Fuck.
