So tell me: what the hell is the appeal of the freakin' Sims??? Are people's lives so utterly pathetic they have to pretend to live the incredibly mundane lives of others, folks who're almost as boring as they are?

Yeah, that's what I want to do after a long day at work - go home and pretend that I'm some completely uninspirational fool living in a world just like my own. Oooooh! Maybe, like, I can have a *virtual* house party and pick up some virtual wench, because that's as close to a party and some pussy I'm ever gonna get!

I just can't imagine why so many folks spend so much time on this game, unless their own lives are really *that* bad....
