Star Trek TOS DVD Box Sets Forthcoming

bluethundr writes "According to Trek Today: the diabolical Trek 'powers that be' have come up with yet another way to separate the hapless trekkie from his hard earned cash. The Original Series is being re-released as a Box Set. Reportedly, the sets should feature enough extras to make (they hope) the die-hard pony-up against their better judgement. They have an image of the box set on the R2 Project. One interesting aspect of this release is that the Region 2 release will package all original season eps in order of original air-date! One also has to wonder why in the world they are still refusing to offer the The Animated Series on DVD, forcing one to buy the bootlegs if you want to get your hands on a copy. VHS only, as far as official release goes. TAS featured most of the original cast, many of the original writers. What's more, is that one episode was penned by another author you may have heard of in which he mingled concepts of his own distinct mythology with that of trek-lore."

    GNAA DOMINATES TROLLYMPICS
    Horatio Brunswick - Gnaa, Nigeria.
    Speaking to a hushed crowd from the heights of a ceremonial golden minaret hastily erected on the main lawn of the lush GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) estate this morning, chief GNAA spokesman l0de triumphantly announced near-total victory for the Gay Nigger Association of America in the 103rd Trollympics.

    "Citizens, never before have you been trolled so hard. You have lost, as none have lost, and as none may ever lose again. Today was truly the nicest day. Doom awaits you all."

    A deafening roar of cheering and celebratory gunfire met the announcement, followed by a rare smile from enigmatically taciturn l0de, which has been interpreted by Top Gay Nigger Analysts as owing as much to his own two medal haul as his customarily heroic intake of fortified wine. Following the smile, increased cumsumer confidence drove the GNIA (Gay Nigger Incestual Average) over the 15,000 mark, once thought to be unattainable. L0de then read the names of the medal winning trolls, (Which have been reproduced here, sans incomprehensible slurs and racial epithets) and delivered his already-infamous "skeet heard round the world" keynote address, finishing with a scream of "LAST MEASURE" and plummeting nearly 70 feet from the minaret into the crowd below. His current whereabouts are unknown.

    I can see why people modded you down. Multiple vitriolic posts within 20 minutes, without even enough time for simoniker to respond, might rather easily give that impression. So would slinging insults around, making assumptions about everyone else's reactions, etc. When I read a post by someone who is practically frothing at the mouth, my first thought is "troll" no matter what it's about.

    I'm also waiting to see you apologize to simoniker for calling him a racist. You've obviously very sensitive about what people say around you, but it's okay for you to use a vicious insult to someone over a misunderstanding? simoniker publically apologized for a mistake. Where's your apology for a deliberate and unwarranted attack?

    Oh, wait, you're in a "protected group" I guess. You only have rights, not responsibilities.

    There's another group like that: it's called "children." Until I see an apology from you for your attack on simoniker, I'll have to assume you're a part of that group.
