Left 4 Dead's "No Mercy" campaign revolves around the survivors attempting to reach and then fight through Mercy Hospital, a supposedly fictional establishment in Pennsylvania. The only trouble is, there's a real Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, and you better believe that the Left 4 Dead fans have found it.
For the past few weeks, players of Valve's zombie apocalypse shooter have been logging onto City Search and writing ludicrous one-star reviews for the poor hospital. Francis himself joined in, leaving the following message:
You know what I don't hate? I don't hate vests.
• Pros: I hate doctors!
• Cons: I'm getting tired of these damn vampires!
Lois has also shared his two cents with the following two-star review:
WHY THE HELL WERE THERE GUNS, MOLTOVS, PILLS, AND PIPEBOMBS IN A FREAKING HOSPITAL!!!!! SERIOUSLY DO YOU EXPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS TO KILL THEMSELVES?
And then there's this one:
I went to this hospital to have my chronic headaches treated or at least diagnosed. Upon entering, I asked the receptionist for some help. Instead, she lept over the counter and started clawing at me. But there just happen to be some guns on the seats. I sadly had to kill her in self defense. Knowing the cops were soon to follow, I proceeded to go up. I wasn't thinking, just going up. On the way up, I had faced many disgruntled patients and workers. One patient was polite enough to vomit all over me. While I was blinded, his posse (i am assuming he is a gang leader of sorts) started running at me and beating me. After successfully escaping, my headaches have only gotten worse. After consuming large amounts of pills, I stumbled my way onto the roof, where a man possibly being treated for a steroid overdose was waiting for me. After tossing me off the building, I almost lost my life. I was thankfully recovered by some strange African American man claiming to have his pills. I am home safe now. But no amount of pills and medpacks will cure my emotional and physical pain.
• Pros: The pills were here.
• Cons: So was the tank.
So far, Mercy Hospital has ten out of twelve one-star ratings on City Search. We know it's because of Left 4 Dead. Anyone else will think it's a hospital run by Harold Shipman and H.H. Holmes. I can't help but feel sorry for the poor bastards.

@Bigmoose85
That's kind of rude.
The less ammo that politicians and news outlets have against us, the better.
WTF is wrong with people!?
A hospital run by serial killers sounds like a British sitcom.

I come to your hospital because of bullets in my head, and knife in back.
But when I come through front door, door is too small! I punch wall, go through wall. All better.
I am brought to room, I sit down, and I think my friend German with Health is related to all these tiny people, they look a lot a like. Then, a big man that I think may have been on steroids punches wall into MY room, speaking in very bad Russian. Now, I think here that this is a man that I can respect! But he runs to me, and touches Sasha.
He touched my GUN.
NO ONE TOUCHES SASHA
So, here I am with no ammo left for poor Sasha, and lawsuits from little men about a mass man slaughter.
* Pros: Target practice.
* Cons: NO ONE TOUCHES SASHA[/i]
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
''well they are if there doing this type of crap''

O god, I would so do a Gmod mockup of that scene. if only I had Gmod, and was on steam... ah well, someone should do this.
1. Chances are there are only 5% of people that may visit that hospital who SERIOUSLY know about the website reviews.
2. They probibly hear about how the hospital really runs around their own town. Seriously, if a hospital is really bad, people areound town WILL know about it themselves through word of mouth (and if it's good etc).
3. Chances are the people that DO know about this obscure rating website and are the type to check reviews of hospitals before going to one, will understand that it's just a bunch of guys making L4D jokes.
These L4D reviews are actually raising the rating of the hospital, so no harm done.
Why give low score to the hospital that have a similar name to the game that you love? At least they aren't making "Close Mercy Hospital" petition.
watch your comments jack-ass!!not all left for dead fans are idiots(however, people who generalise normally are)im in the medical proffession and i dont do daft stuff like ruining hospitals reps!!
besides all real reviews were only 1 stars like the l4d hoax ones anyway so alls good.........you idiot!!!
