Ok, I'll take a stab at this being a former Propaganda Specialist... I mean Navy journalist trained to mislead the public.

Before I do, I have to say if I were on the PR team, the suicide photo above would look pretty appealing... But I digress:

Incarnas CQ sub par performance on many of your customers computers.

Over the years, CCP has released numerous free upgrades to EVE and not all of them worked as intended on their first day of release. However, you've also seen some of the DEV posts about how meticulous we are in improving performance of both the client and the servers. This is the first time CCP has delved into the world of animating the human form. The sheer polygon count that graphics cards need to process with CQ dwarfs anything we've ever attempted before. This is only the first step toward a living, in-station environment that was promised to you years ago. While this is the first step, you can rest assured that our DEV team is working just as diligently on CQ to improve it's performance as they have with all other aspects of EVE and that soon, we hope to be running.

Reports of hardware damage allegedly caused by CQ.

We're currently working with nVidia to thoroughly investigate all claims of hardware damage with the release of Incarna. For now, please make certain that your video and motherboard drivers are properly updated and that you are maintaining a watchful eye on your systems performance.

MT prices.

In the past there has been a lot of talk about how members of the EVE community purchase expensive ships and fittings and then never undock them for PVP. We believe one of the reasons for this is that the EVE community has never had an avatar to associate themselves with. They've always perceived themselves as their ship. One of the big goals with Incarna was to deepen your attachment to an avatar. In doing so, we're hoping you'll be less likely to be concerned about the consequences of losing a piece of virtual hardware. In order to promote this move toward an avatar rather than a ship, we deemed it essential that you be allowed to personalize your character. Players are given a wide selection of clothing and accessories to choose from during character creation. Additional personalization through the purchase of Aurum-based items should be something very unique, very personal and therefore very expensive. To put this in simple terms, most anyone can afford a Badger Mk I. Not everyone can afford a Bhaalgorn. Would you really want it any different?

And last but not least, leaked internal CCPs document.

CCP is a progressive company. We encourage internal debate. If you read the 'leaked document' carefully you'll see that it was just that, an internal publication designed to spark a debate about microtransactions among our employees. While we regret that is has caused such negative emotional reactions we do not regret it's intent. Rest assured that our community is our top priority. You are our lifeblood and our paycheck. We are currently digesting all forum posts and feedback regarding the subject of MT and we will soon be laying out a "Roadmap" that details our future plans for EVE. Of course, we will always welcome your feedback.

How's that for proper bull****?

I've been expecting them to post some lines like those, but now it's just going to be so much more fun to read.
