Ridiculous post spotlight

Spending a lot of time browsing various message boards it becomes easy to get overwhelmed by the serious nature that sports games are treated by the hardcore fans. However occasionally you stumble across a thread or post that startles you with just how ridiculous it is. So I thought it might be amusing to spotlight one on occasion. If you find one you think qualifies feel free to email it in to me and I’ll take it under consideration for future idiotic post highlights.

A while back I singled out a writer who claimed that EA was showing racism by specifically choosing African American players for the cover of Madden. The reasoning being the obvious knowledge that the curse will strike the player on the cover causing them to have a disappointing or injury plagued season. This is a good example of what I’d like to find and ridicule.

To kick it off this winner comes from the 2K Sports forum. In an effort to add to the ultra-realism of 2K’s new boxing title Prizefighter the suggestion is made that deaths should occur in the ring.

I dont know about you but the ability for fighters to die should be in game if you take one to many punches or if you fight to long because thats really what happens to fighters boxing is a dangerious sport lets not suger coat it.

Indeed, lets not “suger coat it” people. The career mode should include the path taken by the movie Million Dollar Baby. Imagine the emotion involved. I can think of a few uses for the Wii motion controls in this mode. Think about how powerful it would be to literally pull the cord while at your boxer’s bedside. That is innovation in sports gaming.

Reminds me of a mentally deficient argument that war games are unethical because they don’t go far enough, aren’t gory enough and bodies don’t pile up on the battlefields. Even the “disrespecting our veterans” card was played.

ah, seems the original is locked away in archive to outsiders, but he posted it elsewhere http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=28&threadid=22237&FTVAR_MSGDBTABLE=

But the response there is far more sycophantic and scary. The original was mostly people piling on how awful the idea was.

Baseball 2k8 really needs a bladder gague while fielding, so when the inning’s over you have to run inside the clubhouse and relieve yourself before it’s you turn at bat. AUTHENITICITY!

Thread: Packer Fans Celebrate Killing Deer while Vick sits in Gail!

Last Sunday majority of the packers fans wore bright orange to the game an waved bright orange sticks around in celebration of Deer Hunting season.

How can this be the case when majority of “those” same fans hate Vick. Its a contradiction in its puriest form.

Last time I checked we are not starving to eat Deer… Deer are not out killing people… why wasn’t PETA out protesting in support of the Deer.

Does PETA or what ever their name is only care about Pit bulls when it’s people like Vick?

Pasta, I get your point, but why even take this idiots post and give it more attention? For starters the post reads like it was written by a 12 year old, he can’t even spell dangerous the right way. Stuff like this isn’t needed here. I know its your site and I understand your intentions with this, but I don’t think you need to stoop as low as the morons who create these type of posts, just to point out their stupidity. Bad idea in my opinion and definately not a topic I’ll be following from here on out.
