<p>Toonarmycaptain: I've been to the equator, flown in the jet stream, and would love to visit the Marianas Trench, so I don't think the characterisation of these as places you cannot or would not want to visit is accurate.</p> <hr /> <div>{{comic<br /> | number = 1803<br /> | date = February 24, 2017<br /> | title = Location Reviews<br /> | image = location_reviews.png<br /> | titletext = Google and Yelp keep deleting my scathing reviews of the Mariana Trench, the Chernobyl reactor core, the jet stream, and the equator.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Explanation==<br /> {{incomplete|PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS TAG TOO FAST!!! And write here what's missing!}}<br /> Randall appears to be making a somewhat snide comment about the way so many people use review services in social media (Yelp, Facebook, etc) to make not terribly helpful comments. One step further would be, as here, completely useless comments. While Canyon River Nuclear Launch Facility appears not to exist, the places he lists in the title text certainly do, and are places that you either cannot or would not normally visit as destinations. <br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> {{incomplete transcript|PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS TAG TOO FAST!!!
