Left 4 Dead spam.

Let's start from the beginning.

In VALVe's Left 4 Dead, you try to escape from the zombie apocalypse. One of the campaigns to do so takes place in a hospital, titled ironically, Mercy Hospital.

Mercy Hospital actually exists.

It has a city search page, and when people found it, they started spamming it with fake reviews, some hilarious, some not, but spam nonetheless.

Now it's at the point where there are only two reviews that are serious.

What do you think, is this bad?

Edit: Most of the reviews have been deleted, so none of you would be able to see the actual funny ones. The only ones left are the annoying spammy reviews.

Edit2: I've had a change of heart, this is really messed up for the hospital.

Wow... all of those "reviews" have all but ruined the hospital's rating, and potentially, its reputation. I fail to see how this could potentially be humorous, even to those who have played the game.

I'm in the town with Mercy Hospital, Devils Lake, ND

 

[Deadpewl]

meh, i doubt anyone will take those reviews seriously.

 

[grimsprice]

All those people who posted reviews need to be hunted down by the FBI and arrested for defamation.

 

[Weaver]

I really don't think reviews on Pittsburgh city search would actually ruin a hospitals reputation.

Mercy Hospital actually exists.

I'm pretty sure that's a very common name for hospitals...unless you're talking about a city or something.

[lizards]

how can you even think thats funny? half the people who wrote shit on there chalenged themselves to use as bad of spelling as possible and its also going to ruin the hospitals online reputation

hell i think ill even get an account just to give it a 5 star and help its rep a bit

 

[Deef]

I lol'd, even though that's terrible for the hospital.

 

[Deadpewl]

Also, judging by the only two real reviews, it was a pretty shitty hospital anyway.

 

[Flos]

meh, i doubt anyone will take those reviews seriously.

Agreed.

Not only that, but do people actually use these types of websites to decide where they go? If your doctor refers you to a hospital, you'll go to it even if the ratings are bad. If it's an emergency, you'll go to the nearest place. Not an emergency? Head off to a doctor's office.

Because I couldn't have seen his icon right then and decided it would be amusi- No. Wait. Wait.

I don't care.

Spoiler: EDIT: Two Funny things

I 'visited' Mercy Hospital early this week, only to leave horrified at the conditions and patrons. My husband went in for a check up on his tumor, before it's removed. He's a smoker, and recently he has been experiencing multiple adverse health defects, the most recent being the tumor; which now engulfs roughly half of his face.
About half way through, I was in the waiting area when these three disgusting characters ran in. One, a biker by the looks of it, ran right up to an obese man, and melee'd him into a corner. It was awful. Next, an African American gentleman hit a nurse with the butt of what i thought was a gun, and demanded his "PEELZ" or something. They had with them a slutty looking girl, who was yelling about some 'cocktail' she had found behind the desk. She then started yelling about how horrible it was that Bill had been killed by a hunter. (Frankly I was glad)
By this time, I was flustered, so I ran up to the biker and started reprimanding him, smacking him and what have you. Instead of even paying notice, all three ran into some room and shut the door, where they scribbled messages on the walls, and stole medical equipment.
Overall, I would say mercy hospital is in just too rough a place for me.
Pros: Only 2 blocks from a Burger King ;D
Cons: Long Elevator Rides

AND

I recently visited Mercy Hospital last Tuesday. The experience was downright HORRIBLE. Desks were strewn about, papers were everywhere on the floor. Getting to the third floor was a fight for my life! and the elevator was incredibly slow! There weren't even any doctors there to assist me! and what little medical staff that was present in the sea of horribly sick patients were very hostile! Also the top floor before the roof is still under construction and VERY dangerous.
I wouldn't suggest mercy hospital to anyone, especially someone in need of dire medical attention! You'd have more luck using a first aid kit on your self then trying to visit this hospital.
Pros: Seems spacious...
Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE

On a serious note... (and has been said) Who Checks "Pitsburg City Search" for a hospital?

You're going to feel tenderly loved eventually.

Those reviews are trying too hard to be funny. In that light, I'm deeming them as bad.
Maybe if I'd even chuckled once I would have said they were good but bleh.

on a sidenote, looks like the hospital's getting pretty bad reviews anyway, I don't think those phony reviews will damage its reputation much more.

 

[Glerken]

The reviews weren't that funny, they were trying to hard.
But I have to admit, I laughed at the Pros of one review "Only two blocks from Burger King ;D"

I do feel kind of bad for the hospital though
