<div style='font: 14pt "Times New Roman", Modern; text-align: left; '>I guess Nintendo lucked out this time.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>My informed guess is that Trip's mouth was full of cock while making his statement, and that the reporters misinterpreted "Mmmrff mmph MMMmmmphhh *SLURP*" ('We are more than happy to flood the X-Box market with our miserable Army Men games') as "We will not support X-Box."</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>I don't think it'll sell. This should be the last of MK.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif", Modern; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>LOL!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>That's what they said about Pokemon.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Hopefully, it'll be the last Midway game ever known to man.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>But at least people seem to enjoy Pokemon. I remember MK4 getting really mediocre reviews. And even MK3 didn't deliver as much as people were expecting.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>Aw man!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>For some reason, I see a lot of black guys playing that game.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>That's a hell of a random tangent.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif", Modern; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>No kidding. There's no thinking like Sine thinking...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>AND?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>Well....ar least Xbox is getting that p.o.s. too!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow", Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>My prayers have been answered!</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Y'know, it's probably thoughts like these that help keep people from the standardless utopia you've mentioned before...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>Useless observation alert!</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: justify; '>Not even Bill "Fucking Business Genius" Gates and his X- "Console That Will Love You" Box can escape Mortal "God DAMMIT" Kombat.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>I was debunking his argument that nobody enjoys the game.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>I knew I was going to be ripped for that comment. It seems like you can't use the word "black" without being ripped any more. Fucking politically correct lamers!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Sorry. I meant: "For some reason, I see a lot of African American males playing that game." I forgot that some people are offended by the phrase "black guys".</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>You could have said, "For some reason, I see a lot of African-Americans playing that game" and gotten the same response. Sorry, but the p.c. straw man didn't have anything to do with the negative reaction to your bizarre remark.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Nooooo...I was debunking his argument that nobody enjoys the game.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Lee, you anatomly-incorrect dumbass! Army Men don't have cocks to suck on! They procreate through Trip Hawkins and only Trip Hawkins. He doesn't want any bad plastic to come out of breeding themselves on their own.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Can you show me where Kupek explicitly stated that "nobody" enjoys Mortal Kombat? Nooooo...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>"But at least people seem to enjoy Pokemon." Which means that "People don't seem to enjoy Mortal Kombat."</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>Man...this was actually the game series I was hoping Xbox would get as an exclusive! Ah well.....misery loves company.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>What I meant was, one primary reason why the human race doesn't just work together in a world where we don't discriminate, is because of thoughts like that. Not because you called them black, but you labeled that game as something a lot of black people would play, as if saying white people wouldn't play it, therefore making a distinction between white and black people. And by making a distinction between white and black people, you have discriminated. Therefore, as long as thoughts, such as "For some reason, I see a lot of black guys playing that game." are in existance, there will be discrimination.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Regardless, the phrase "For some reason, I see a lot of black guys playing that game.", look at it, it sounds more like a random observation than a debunking.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>That's because most people here -NEVER- catch on to the linking of any of my phrases.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Agatha, Modern; text-align: left; '>Look at it this way. The fact that they guys at your arcade or whatever who play MK are black is a piece of ~COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY INFORMATION~. By saying that there are some guys at your arcade that play MK, you convey the information required. By adding in the fact that they are black, you turn it into a racial issue. You keep digging yourself into a hole. You want love and peace and equality and shit, but ~you~ are the first one to point out the difference in someone elses skin.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: justify; '>Actually, thanks to the PS2 ability to generate hundreds of penises on screen at once, they now sport HUMONGOUS PLASTIC COCKS!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Wow! It's a forest of penises!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Generalization will never be weeded out of our culture. The best way to fight it is to stop being so PC about it and take comments on face value, instead of reading into things.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Well, and one might also infer that he was saying "...therefore those guys have lower standards, cause MK is not very often liked by gamers."</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Yah, and if he HAD said it in the "politically correct way," it woulda actually been worse. Forcing one's self to use P.C. terms like that is just more demeaning to any one group.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Modern; text-align: left; '>On the Internet, if you post anything that even MIGHT be a racist comment, most likely you will get ripped for it. I only wish the same thing held true in real life. I can't even count how many times I heard a racist comment or the word "nigger" used in my school last week. For the record, I am not black, it just sickens me that racism is still everywhere you go, although on the Internet it is very much looked down upon. It's time everyone starts practicing what they preach: Not just on the Internet, but everywhere they go.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>And that's why your standardless utopia will never be... ever.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>So... that means there's something wrong with everyone else here, rather than how you link your phrases?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Modern; text-align: left; '>Bad statement, that's like being an overconcerned parent and saying "I only see small 8 year old children playing these violent statement!"</div>
