The only non-Camaro is driven by Christopher Walken. A shot of Brefast Scotch to the first person to name the model of Walken's car.

There are plenty more pictures where that gallery came from, above is one of my favorites. I sincerely hate to go all star/minardi on everyone, but most of the pictures are from commenters who are auditioning or signed up just to post their pic, so until someone with approval powers does their thing only stars can see 'em.

A new feature introduced with the Comment 2.0 system was to allow starred commenters the ability to view the comments of auditioning commenters. Those comments were shown in pink highlighted text with red outlined avatars, and were viewable only to stars.
The approval button came along with those comments, it allowed star commenters to approve exemplary comments and share them with the entire commentariat. Such comments could still be identified by the red outline and the such and so approved this comment identifier. It was billed as a way for star commenters to highlight the potential of new commenters.
Recently the approve button disappeared and a reply to such a comment stopped resulting in approval. I conjecture it was due to abuse and poor judgement somewhere in the Gawker network. In my observation Jalops handled the charge with responsibility and honor, approving mostly stellar comments as the system was designed. Regardless of the reasoning, the buttons are gone but the comments remain visible. It only becomes frustrating during times like these, lots of great pictures are going unseen.
So, to answer your question, yes and no. Yes, you're missing some Camaro and Free Pizza pictures and some stories in QOTD. No, the auditions make up less than 1% of the comments in the normal posts and the cream of that crop will be approved for normal commenting soon enough.

The idea of Oprah audience members snapping pics of themselves with their free G6s and free grilled chicken somehow isn't as stirring.

This post ranks up there with my all-time favorites.
Nice Job. Everybody.

Papa Johns is expected to claim that pizza buffets are cheating since they are a non-standard pizza delivery method.

I took a can of Miller Lite to the place I buy automotive finishes, sat down with the paint book, drank the beer and found the blue that matched the can.
