Here is a link that skips the intro that is probably a failed attempt at trying to be funny:

N.B.: Great appraisal of the camera. Great stuff from Chris Niccolls, as always.
They didn't say anything stupid (*) so why the childish disclaimer in the beginning?
(*) Nothing stupid, but I didn't understand the remark about Pentax cameras demanding a lot of pursuit to be properly used. To optimally use any complex piece of equipment one has to put in the time to learn about it. That is true of any such piece of equipment and does not need mentioning with respect to Pentax cameras in particular.
Fair point, though, about admitting that they don't have the time to learn about every camera in-depth. Which may (or may not) explain why they received some feedback for their coverage of Pentax cameras from Pentaxians that pointed out some omissions / misconceptions.
Personally, I found they always did a great job with reviewing flagship Pentax DSLRs. I didn't get the alcohol-fueled teasing of some of Pentax's more quirky products at the end of year reviews, but they didn't bother me much either.
