Comment Re:or maybe... (Score 1) 370

I thought the same thing myself when the father cried on camera about how traumatizing this was. Give me a freaking break - your kids saw some porn, not a video of some beheading or something. If I were a lawyer, I would *totally* tell my client to cry on camera to show how much "damage" was caused.

Besides - HOW DID THE MEDIA FIND OUT ABOUT THIS??? It's not like Gamestop would have publicized it. The only possible way this got exposed was from the customer's (i.e. the father's) side. And if he is so "traumatized," why is he making his 5 year-old repeat this "trauma" on camera over and over?

Comment Thanks Capcom! (Score 3, Interesting) 79

I had to give up modding posts to put this up, but it NEEDS to be said how cool Capcom is for supporting this. You could have legally sued this guy's ass, but instead you didn't and thanked him for his efforts.

Capcom - I am a 33 year old living in Manhattan (i.e. target demo). I was not planning to, but now I will *specifically* purchase a Capcom game as my next purchase as a way of letting you know that I support these measures. Maybe Resident Evil 6.

No, actually, I don't think things would have been different under Gore.

Would Bears Sterns and Lehman have failed? Probably either way.

But Seriously? Politics aside, if you really think a Gore Cabinet would have responded to the 9/11/01 attacks with a war in Iraq (led by the mean man who bullied Bush's dad a few years earlier), you are too easily dissuaded by the websites you're reading.

fustakrakich, I know you refuse to have a rational conversation (we all know why). We both know I was not asking for your opinion on the Mexican Civil War (although nice attempt at distraction!), the Spanish Inquisition, the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi or murder in general. I'll make it a very easy YES/NO question:

Yes or No: Do you condemn the attempted murder of a 14 year old whose crime was being a girl and learning to read?

Any reply that does not begin with YES or NO will be followed by "fustakrakich supports the murder of teenage girls who learn to read."

Riiiiiiight. And the people who shot a 14 year-old girl in the face for the terrible crime of learning to read are simply misunderstood freedom fighters.

Seriously, I'll have a rational conversation with you. First, just declare Malala's shooters as "savage, murderous terrorists whose actions I completely 100% condemn" (just cut-and-paste) and I promise to have a civil and respectful conversation with you. Spin it in any way other than a cut-and-paste and I think we all know who we're dealing with here.

I await your decision...

Actually, now that I see it in writing, adoption is ok for the cause. Sorta like Adopt-a-Highway or Adopt-a-Whale. It's support, now ownership.

Now, to be clear - it's "Name a Star" crap that they sell on the radio near Valentine's Day that I hate. And they'll even put it into an "International Registry!"
