Quick community update: This weekend we received a video from an anonymous source with a protest on behalf of the Mexicans. What was weird about the whole thing was that they didn't want to discuss it with us, hear a counterpoint, or note or recognize our various public apologies via email, youtube comments, and on our site. My dad always said that if you have a problem with somebody, you talk to them. Think this person was raised to launch a PR campaign and hide from people that offended them? My ass.
Something was up.
The YouTube profile had been recently set up and the video also contained instructions to stop visiting Destructoid. For these reasons, it seemed to be an opportunistic slander campaign more than a real concern. So! To flush the person out I claimed that we made the video to diffuse the video as a fake promo for the show. We said there was no protest and were responsible, and laughed it off as us being idiots and waited two days. Still no complaint or response. Hmmm. Yeah she's really concerned about Mexicans, I'm sure.
Obviously, nobody came forward. Meanwhile, on another Podtoid I almost convinced Nex that I made a brief cameo in Scarface on the Mariel Cuban boat flotilla. Yeah, huge racists here. What's more true is that we laugh at our differences and we're a big international family here with and gave Yobs to writers from India, France, and Germany. Kevin Cortez and Teksuo are black. Hell, we even let women, colored people, and polar bears vote in our polls. My last name is Gonzalez, capisch? ¡Me cago frijoles colorados en la sangre de tu madre!*
So in the end, we hope we drove away some uber-sensitive soccer moms and cowards. We really don't care. We do Destructoid for fun and we know we're not hurting anybody. Putting up that stupid hateful video did more damage and seperated more people than it did good.
At Destructoid, we firmly believe in international insemination, and whomever Kimberly205 needs to come down to Miami for an overdue drink.
In other news, I'm glad we're not the only ones under fire. Here's the joke of the week: Have you seen the www.aoljoystiq.com redesign? It's NSFW!

Only real reason to leave is cause of fanboyism!
I too am now scarred for life.

PS. - I find this whole thread highly offensive and racist to snails. Stop the robot on snail hate crimes.
Hmm..
who brought the crosses and gasoline?
On a side note lets all figure out who started this smear campaign. conspiracy experts to the front! Raving psychotics next, and so forth.*
*Oh andSnailebs need not apply.
Im Mexican, and yeah we have those dudes here too trying to help you with your luggage when you arrive at the bus stop and/or simply trying to park a car in the street. And sometimes they do break the car window as soon as you turn and steal the freakin stereo. You did good in not hiring them summa.
Both DoRock and Toneman need to go get some fuckin hater-aide somewhere else, because they just punked me out for my whole supply.
Fucking haters.
I Caught You!
BTW, I signed us all up for the NAMBLA newsletter and PETA, so make sure everyone comes dressed as your favorite Marlon Brando character with an edible Tasty Animal to our annual potluck dinner next month.
Besides is like oh come on! you ridiculed the church, religion, sexism, gay sex, even kid sex in your podtoid. Im certainly not going to mind some joke racism.
You need to learn to grow a thicker skin, your just too easy a target to get a rise out of. Plus your witty comebacks are just the cat's pajamas.
Like the famous Charles Manson once said...
"If I got angry and threw a chair around, it's because I care. Now if I didn't care I would've just walked away now wouldn't I?"
And I don't know what cat pajama's are.. except that movie Anger Management. I think Adam Sandlers character did that for a living, and it didn't make any sense...
....oooooh..
Haters!
LOL! BWA HAHAHA!
*Wipes tear from eye*
Oh man! finally a day not being American truly pays off.
Racism FTW!
FWIW, in order to develop a fairly thick skin against comments, it's often necessary to burn yourself with matches, as the constant 2nd degree and 3rd degree burns thickens the dead skin layers around the body.
Snaileb is not allowed around any incendiary devices so dictated in the terms of his criminal trial and subsequent rehabilitation.
So if you'll please forgive him. The best he can do is ask people on the street give him Indian sunburns, but they usually want money for that, and half the time those people are cops.
I wonder how many people besides xBBx and DoRock will click on that..
All because of that one cat's litter of kittens I crushed...
for 30 days...
