The Dumb Rule the World: Blood Playstation




I was going to make the first post of the new recurring column, The Dumb Rule the World, about the kerfuffle over RE5. Seeing as Capcom has either given in to the complaints of the irrational knee jerkers out there or they really did plan all along to present Africa as a place largely populated by whitey, there really isn't much to add to the story.

Luckily, there are more dumb people to make fun of.

I bet you always thought playing your tv games was an activity that really didn't bother other people. Sure, sometimes you left the volume up too loud and woke up your neighbor, but that was it. I bet you didn't realize that your thirst for Metal Gears and Final Fantasies was quenched with the blood of child slaves.

Now that your eyes have been opened to the atrocities of console manufacturing, here are some other factoidoids to think about.

The special coating on Blu Ray discs is actually made from juicing the eyes of kittens and puppies.

The Xbox 360 isn't actually overheating due to faulty design. There's a tiny portal to Hell in the back of each one where Beelzebub and his ilk transmit messages to you while you sleep so you'll rape, murder, and cannibalize your whole family. M$ (see what I did there?) really is an evil corporation!

The battery packs found in wireless controllers are made from the crushed bones of Somali war orphans.

As part of his research during the concept development phase of Pikmin, Shigeru Miyamoto would regularly kidnap small boys and drown then in the pond behind his house.
