Fiber One bars are actually a healthy snack alternative for a high fiber diet, not junk food.
No. These are candy bars marketed as health food.
You don't put High Maltose Corn Syrup in healthy snacks.
If it pays the bills it pays the bills. I don't look to Penny Arcade, whose culinary exploits include pocky, Cinnabon and Meef Chewbaccas, for dietary guidance. CuriousPencil raises a valid point and is allowed to address it respectfully. He got an actual response from Khoo, who certainly doesn't need your postscript to make his point.
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of High Fructose Corn Syrup. High Maltose Corn Syrup is a product that is used in an effort to move away from High Fructose Corn Syrup by health food manufacturers. Unlike HFCN, HMCN contains a sweetener (Maltose) that is found commonly in nature. Consumed in moderation in conjunction with a balanced diet, as snacks are intended to be, it is not considered harmful to the human body at all, and is about half as sweet as HFCN. CP's point is less than valid, as his statement about the "only good games" advert policy and any other form of advertising are not related in any way. That policy was not only established before PATV was ever considered, but if i understand it correctly, they're able to pick and choose games by experiencing them directly, which is far from likely with random food advertisements done through an ad agency. And even assuming he did have a valid point, am I then not aloud to show my support for Khoo by making my own point about how CP is making suppositions about penny arcade advertising practices on a flawed basis?
Edit: I should add that Fructose is also an ingredient, but Fructose its self is -also- a naturally occurring monosaccharide found in many naturally sweet foods, including honey and many types of fruits.
I know what HMCP is, unlike several of the ingredients in this particular snack. I know what Fructose is as well. But here's the news: when you take things that are found in nature and make them additives in highly processed products because you can sell them for more than, say, an apple or a bag of grapes, unexpected and often bad shit happens. Not only are these types of snacks not healthy, they are in actual practice harmful in ways we are only starting to understand.
As to your other point about what we are and are not aloud {sic} to do, I started to address it and realized it was not productive. I reacted to your using the ColeT account's second post on the forums to effectively call someone else less than "marginally intelligent." We are both fortunate to have Penny Arcade around to allow us to discuss the issues of the day, and it sounds as if we both trust Khoo to make the best business decisions possible to allow that to continue.
I truly enjoyed this episode, not to say i haven't the previous. I sincerely find this look into the lives of these 2 artists a fascinating introspective on how 2 normal people, despite their celebrity, can retain the "normality" of their lives. Today we are constantly bombarded with celebrities on TV, in the newspaper, and in tabloids who live their lives for themselves and never thinks to use their fame to spread a good message and to help others less fortunate. To watch this show, to see into the lives of these 2 gentlemen, and see that THEY want to help other less fortunate with the "blessings" the have, well, it's a breath of fresh air in cave rank with the filth of selfishness. As i mentioned I my heart truly went with this episode. It made me think of the episodes they did on Child's Play, and how much that really touched my hear. I hope these 2 continue to do their good work, and hopefully, more people follow in their step. You sir's are gentlemen and scholars.

This episode was amazing.
Gabe and Elliot are the cutest and the ending wedding pictures were just heartwarming.

I want to do with you
What spring does with the cherry trees.
Add my name to the list of long-time lurkers, first-time posters. I just wanted to say that the positive and honest way the series unfolded was excellent. On a lesser scale, it was that "good" sort of magic that you get from Child's Play. I'm excited to see more.

I also wonder what the correlation is between people who complain about the ads and people who complain when they have to pay for things.
