Yes, but do you have girl-bi...oh. You do. It says so right over there.

hmm.. that reminds me i'm gonna have to stop there for a coffee and burrito.
But yeah seems to me we're getting a lot of story's about Macdonald's blaming video games for most things.. and speaking of which i won't to a Macdonald's and saw two TV's hooked up with Gamecubes in the kids section...IRONY

I little piece of my dies everytime I hear mcdonalds (*shudders*).

I agree though. life is rough though.

You don't hear me complaining when McDonalds show clips of people eating their disgusting fat-filled cow vagina - something which I find offensive and harmful to society - so there.

I believe you're the only one who finds that truly offensive. I think the blatant racism is somewhat offensive, but as for the cow vaginas, I personally enjoy a number 2 meal every other week immediately after I get payed.

I just ate it today, so I'm in the McDonald's mood. In about 6 hours, I'll surely hate them for what they've done to my body, but then again the choice to eat it was mine. It's just food.

As for banning the commercial, kind of weak but WTF, maybe my grandfather can't stand the constant reminders of World War II on his TV. Trust me, he still jumps when he hears gunshots on TV. I don't think he's scared of black people eating burgers and nuggets while trying to sell said burgers and nuggets to white kids who want to be black.

Still, in the end it's not right to ban the commercial, it's not like heads are flying off and shit, right?

Just took issue with the McDonald's comparison, which kind of made no sense. At least you gave us your opinion along with a nice line of comedic gold. Cow Vaginas FTW

BTW, a question: Do you think in all honesty that McDonald's commercials or even resteraunts should be banned?

My problem isn't so much with games and ads being banned, but it's the hypocrisy of it. TV shows and movies go virtually untouched, yet games -- clearly marketed to adults -- get bitch-smacked. It's obnoxious.

You lost me on the cow vagina thing.

what? I was just saying that the commercial could be seen as disturbing to some, and that opinion has for more merit than saying your disturbed or offended by McDonalds, which really has no merit. They only make food and commercials, you have the choice in the end. Nobody should go round banning commericals for any product, it's not right.

McDonald's and games don't make people fat, eating too much and sitting on your ass makes you fat.

But again, you didn't answer my quesion. Would you support the banning of McDonalds or at the very least, McDonalds marketing?

It's fun blowing up bad people. Basically.

Sharpless wins. Yes, yes it is. Blowing people up feels wonderful, especially when it's online and you can hear the opposing guy cursing you out. It's a feeling like no other, rivaled by few. I'd rather stick a knife in someones back online then have sex, but that's of course only because I don't want more kids.

Lol! Of course, you're a sales assistant. But you must understand, that's how it works! And you of course took the job knowing full well what it payed, correct? Who do you work for? GameStop? I could see how that would sour your opinion of any company. They fail, miserably. I'll take my money to Best Buy or even fucking Wal Mart over them any day of the week.

And to be honest, most game store employees in my neck of the wood suck balls. Here in Jersey, they don't even care if you're a gamer. The one near my job is terrible, the girl is fucking hot as fuck but doesn't play games except for the occassional DS game. What the fuck is she good for then at a Game store? I ask them if they have a copy of LocoRoco for my wife for the PSP, and even the guys are like "WTF is that? Never heard of it dude."

They didn't even look for it, they seemed convinced it wasn't real. I just left and went to Toys R' Us. They had it and they even knew what it was!

As if all games have to be a giant hype behemoth for me to want it.

Wow, that's some terrible customer service. I'm from the UK, and I have been in to games shops where they are unhelpful, it's not nice. Saying that I don't buy games from high street stores, mostly because they're driving stores like the one I work for out of business by selling games far cheaper than they buy them for. Saying that, they can do one thing we can't; they can make up their profit by selling baked beans.

It's a good business plan though, selling things for an unbeatable price just to get people in your store. Then hopefully they will buy something else thinking it's also the cheapest price around.

Not exactly honest in principle, but any smart shopper would realize they are being duped and just buy the game. This is why music stores have gone out of business (most anyway). Best Buy sells all their new CDs for like $13 and under, hoping you'll want a new CD or DVD player to go along with it, or even a fucking washer machine.

It's simply good business. This is why a lot of mom and pop stores are going out of business, and while it's a shame, I can't find any fault with the big corporations at this point.

They're just trying to make a dollar, and to do that they need people to go to them and not the small shops. The town I work in has a lot of small stores, people still use them. We even have TV and Radio stores, no Best Buy or Circuit City for miles. But Best Buy is coming here within 2 years according to the mayor, and it's going to absolutely crush the competition.

Again, good business.

Also, in a store like GameStop or even McDonalds, half the work is done for you. They certainly don't try to hard to sell you actual games, they just whore their shit preorder service. Why would I preorder from them? Their games always arrive the next day, on Wednesday instead of Tuesday like everyone else. Fuck them.

lol. Well, GameStop is nuts! Normally you have to put $5 down on a preorder and then you can either pay towards the end price whenever you want or pay it all off when you pick the game up. But if you've got, say $2.50 in store credit, you can use it to preorder something!

Everytime you buy a game, they always ask if you'd like to preorder a game. If my change is more than 5 bucks, they ask if I'd like to put it towards a preorder. It's annoying as fuck but I don't get too pissed, they're only doing what their superiors tell them to do. It's their job, not their perogative.

Parents buy 18 rated games and give it to their children. The media rant that these games are sick and disturbing and it is based on an opinion of what the parents think of the game when their kids play it and they see it.

Needless to say, tis illegal for the parents to pass on the games to their weans. Any argument to ban the games on the basis that is influences and corrupts children should be based on proper research and not by the Daily Mail giving it large. Children, and i say children, are impressionable and of course games will influence them. Hence the rating system.

That's a good point, as a UK citizen I wouldn't have thought of that. I never knew they did not receive health benefits.
