What has happened to this site

[anon(9918034)]

Seriously can someone please explain to me how a sale for Zippo lighter is in anyway relevant for android central. Are they android compatible, are they running a promo that involves something of the slightest about android. The answer is no, so why on earth would I open a android news site and see an article about Zippo lighter. This is getting absolutely ridiculous, you guys are starting to post these bull**** stories.

Are you sure that wasn't an interstitial ad made to look like an article? When I search for "Zippo" on the main AC site, I don't find anything.

It's there, because I have commented on it and so have several other people. About why the hell there is a story about Zippo on a tech site. Here is the link

Oh I see now. I don't have any say in what goes in the blog, but I can see that it's related to Thrifter.com, who is a sponsor of AC, so that would be relevance. But I don't blame you for wondering -- it seems that it should be tech stuff from Thrifter that's being mentioned ...

#fbf to when android central was about android!

Been really enjoying some if the recent articles about buy Zippos and Zippo accessories. Now I can buy Amazon samples and get 2 bucks towards the purchase of a bigger item.

I just can't wait for the day when the android central writers do a spec comparison between Ford and chevy's latest transmissions. So we can keep this site continually going as far away from android as possible.
