Whilst appreciating the sense of fun in your original submission, I respectfully disagree with your conclusions. I think the linkspam is justified here... rpeh •TCE 19:59, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Have you ever noticed how many conspiracies are based on false premises and bad data? I stand by what I have written. EVDebs (talk) 20:17, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
As a rationalist, I say this is a load of hogwash. However, as a board game geek, I am very paranoid about Monopoly's continued and baffling popularity and will therefore make it my personal goal to destroy Hasbro and IBM. I'll get my coat. Cow...Hammertime! 20:22, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
