Poker is serious business, even if fraudulent serious business?
Edit: I love the comments, they are sooo good/bad. Also Poker seems to be really really serious business to those people.

By the powers invested in me by tabloid-reading imbeciles, I pronounce you guilty of paedophilia!Hmm, someone is mad that they can't help launder money...?
Whatever happened to Poker Nights with your buds, man?
Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.Oh no! This is going too ruin my not even remotely near favorite Webcomic!
I had thought of posting up the actual news of the shut-down in OTC, but this'll do for now, I guess.
Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.who cares who passed the law, bush/obama are two sides of the same goin.. taking away your freedoms and right to spend and enjoy your money. "land of the free" ya right, america is well on the path to a police state where you have no rights or freedoms anymore.
60 million play poker in the US, including members of Congress and -gasp- the FBI. Wtf is wrong with these people? It's a game that adults play fairly and by clear rules. Ridiculous overreach by the FBI & DOJ.
I don't understand why anyone in the US government isn't smart enough to suggest keeping this multi billion dollar industry of online gambling in this country with online casinos run by the likes of Trump and Wynn! The US needs money...there it is!
The last one is my favorite, first for inferring that Trump launders money through online casinos and second the implication Donald"I somehow had a casino go bankrupt" Trump should be running other casinos.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?Wow, members of Congress dabble in on-line gambling, which has been illegal since 2006? I'd say I'm shocked, but I'd be stretching the definition of "shocked" a bit.
Sauce, that comment needs; to help it digest inside my brain.
Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.I think they meant that many people play poker, not online poker.
I kinda wish they would legalize and tax online gambling, if they can't shut it down. I know the argument that it'll help people ruin their lives, but I'm not sure it would make a difference over regular casinos.
Look, you can't make me speak in a logical, coherent, intelligent bananna.

Read these comments and tell me with a straight face that it's anonymity that makes people say stupid stuff.
