I haven't laughed this hard in a long, long time.
This is hilarious--the sheer level of stand-in-line, don't-question-anything-we-tell-you-beca
It's basically a bunch of poorly researched anti-videogame rhetoric spouted by someone whose anal sphincter is wrapped so tightly around her neck that her brain has forgotten what oxygen is. Don't join the idiots that keep replying en masse to the stupid, vapid posts; they just take that as your being somehow warped by the devil into no longer understanding English (they actually have one of the articles that a "recent convert" translated into Leet, though they still wonder if he's "recovered" from his bouts of satanic rites... er, videogames).
But seriously, it's just amusing. Stupid on a level that I don't even think Jack Thompson has touched (he pops up in that story they translated). This just goes to show that Morel Orel actually has some roots in reality. And it's teeming with inaccuracies; the ONLY information that they got right is that Caterpie evolves into Metapod in Pokémon. THAT IS IT.
If you have a brain, or at least a part of one, you will most likely find at least 99.8% of this offensive on the most basic of thought levels. Remember that I've warned you.

Oh, and apparently, A. A. Milne didn't write Winnie the Pooh like everybody says, it was some Disney worker drone named Fran Posner. Sorry, that particular piece of information kinda crossed the line with me. WHY MUST MODERN IMBECILES PERVERT OR BASTARDIZE THE THINGS I CHERISHED AS A CHILD?
Case in point: Star Wars transformers. I once said, "I don't think that ANYTHING couldn't be made cooler if it could transorm into a giant robot. I was wrong, and I lament that comment. They actually managed to find something that is NOT cooler when it turns into a giant robot. In fact, were I able to find the subhuman bastard who came up with the plan, I'd kick him in the balls so hard he'd have to tilt his head sideways and pee out his ear.
Now that I'm done with that, I'm gonna take a nap before work. On an unrelated note, however, are the BBN boards working for ANYBODY? Has Outerverse talked to anybody? Nobody's online when I log onto AIM, unless you've all changed contact info since last time.
I haven't, though, so you'd think that somebody would've seen me had they been there... oh, well.
Have a nice day!

EDIT/ADDENDUM:
Okay, upon further searching, this thing's a hoax, but a damn good one. To the point where they managed to get someone to try to debunk them, and then somehow sued him for blogging. There's other evidence lying around, though many of the original pages used to confirm that it's a hoax aren't available anymore.
I mean, the whole video game thing seemed real enough, being that there's people out there (Jack Thompson, for example), that actually HAVE those views. But other things on the site--such as their exposé on the Song of Solomon having been added in by European liberals in the fifteenth century--cross the line from patently ludicrous to downright unbelievable. I think that they intentionally went this far to do just that, though they still seem hell-bent on covering up that the whole damn thing is a hoax. To the point where one of their characters posts replies to the FriendlyAthiest link I linked earlier in this edit.
They really had me going there, though. The disemboweled Sims seemed like something someone would accidentally pull up when trying (obviously half-heartedly) to "research" and the Islamofascist Metapods bit (because "it is crescent shaped, like the crescent-moon the Muslims worship") was true enough to real life--I've met people that believe crucifixes are graven images because people kneel before them and cross themselves, which they interpret as worshipping the crucifix, not the deity it stands for.
Cancel red alert. Secure from general quarters. Stand down weapons.
