For Your Pete Dodd's Pete Dodd's new career as a Microsoft shill brand ambassador appears to be getting off to a rough start, apparently due to terrible Utah ISPs, which have been a steady source of complaints for the entitled East Coaster.
Here's one such complaint from Dodd, who sources believe to be one of the key curators of Wikipedia's page on the novel Superfudge.
To stream with my shitty upload or not to stream with my shitty upload. I think that's a Judy Bloom quote.

Fast forward to today, as Dodd revealed his struggles in messaging for Microsoft, which could only come down to connectivity problems with his overlords in Washington state:
I somehow didn't know that Project Spark was free to play. I also don't know how to feel about this.

Clearly there is some sort of communications breakdown between Utah and Redmond, as evidenced by Dodd's lack of knowledge about the game. Dodd also showcases his lack of ability as a voice for Microsoft, saying he doesn't "know how to feel about this" because he hasn't been instructed by the company.
Of course, any shill brand ambassador worth his or her salt would know intuitively how to feel about that: That it's the best thing ever. In fairness to Dodd, the day before it was revealed he's being paid by Microsoft, he admitted he stank (at the job, not in terms of aroma):
I'm so bad at shilling :(

In related news to appease skeptics, Dodd also shared news today of an early payment from Microsoft as part of their business arrangement:
The $45 is on my xbl account, isn't in my http://t.co/k83xBUeBLq purchase history, or on any of my credit cards.

While some readers were skeptical of our original article, despite the fact it was based on the ironclad results of a web poll, the only surprise here for us is that Microsoft is paying Dodd so poorly. Nevertheless, for those who wanted concrete evidence, look no further.
