HOLY FUCKING SHIT THESE ARE AWESOME. I feel like such an untalented dick right now. I propose a new contest for the best VG-themed trial pleading. Mans, are you with me?
"If in the first act you have hung a sandwich on the wall, then in Act 3 someone should fuck it. Otherwise don't put it there."
--the famous "Gabe's Sandwich" principle of drama
That's my governor. :-(
On the bright side, in just a few weeks I get to go into a voting booth and click on big purple thumb next to Jan Brewer's post in the BNPG: Election Movies thread. (What?) Ben Quayle's, too.
Yikes. Where do I live?
thanks to both of you for your thoughtful comments. for the record, i was not trying to assert any sort of blanket objection applicable to all situations--my concern was strictly for this particular forum where the video could disappear from youtube at some point (or someone may simply read the comments without viewing the video), thus divorcing the quoted matter from its original context. as i said, my fear was that a new visitor might then draw the worst (incorrect) inferences. anyway, like mans suggested, I was just trying to encourage people to be careful.
I have a friendly request: can we cool it on posting the n-word here? Even in quotes? I know we're all right-minded grownups (or nearly grownups) here and no harm was intended (or perceived, by me at least) and I'm all for stealing the power away from hateful words, but we all heard what she said. It does not need to be repeated and then stored here forever and ever to be rediscovered by the aliens at the end of A.I. Seriousgum, I would hate for someone to make their first visit to vg, see that word and--not yet knowing the tone of the room--go away without joining in the fun. If I'm getting it wrong, I'll shut up.
