Loudly pronouncing the name of the pianist (or should it be "penist") should reveal the degree of seriousness of that review.

I don't get it -
So is it supposed to sound like "Huge Erection"?  Like a big penis?
Is that the joke?
If not, can someone explain?

Believe me practicingnow... Your not missing anything...

This joke is about as funny as looking at fecal matter... I wouldn't worry about it.

I certainly didn't... just a bunch of immature idiots laughing at other people for no reason.

The review is childish.. not funny... i feel... people should not be able to put so much false information on recognized websites... it's like Halifax tricking your bank account information...
