    GNAA CLAIMS RESPONSIBILTY FOR ASSASINATION OF TV HERO

    DiKKy Heartiez - Berlin, Norway

    GNAA spokesperson lysol told the world press the real story of the ASSASINATION of TV hero Steve Irwin today at a press conference in Teheran, Iran. "The stingray that sodomized and anally penetrated the world known australian crocodile-fucker, releasing its vast amounts of deadly stingray semen, was in fact not only a nigger, as can be seen quite clearly on the photographs, but a GAY NIGGER. The Gay Nigger DiKKy Heartiez of Norway had changed his looks to a stingray, using the patented Gay Nigger technology of Body Transformation."

    The operation took place because Steve Irwin was not the TV hero he was portrayed to be. lysol explained that "Steve irwin was an EVIL man, plotting in secret with the jews to take over the world and eliminate all gay niggers. It was therefore Imparative that we carried out this operation, if not the world would be dominated by Evil Jewish Females, also known as "jax".

    lysol went on in great detail about the planning and execution of this marvelous victory for Gay Niggers everywhere. "It took us about 17 months of hard planning, about $20 USD and a lot of Holy Gay Nigger Seed (HGNS)." President Timecop commented in the same press conference. DiKKy Heartiez was unavailable for comment, but available for display, swimming in a aquarium filled with HGNS.

    Is anybody really interested in buying a Wii? When I was younger I had Nintendos.. but these days I'm just not as drawn to their products as I am to PC and X-Box (possibly PS3). So, is anybody really excited about this product release or is Nintendo going to grab minimal market share with this console too?

      I'm utterly uninterested in the xbox360 (games suck, xbox had all of 2 games I wanted, and I don't give money to MS). The PS3 is priced around 2x what I'm willing to pay for it. The Wii is the only one doing anything new, and the virtual console alone would sell it to me. Most of my friends who game feel the same way.

      Enjoy your short bus versions of Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Jesus the list goes on and on. At least Microsoft got it right. It's not their fault most Japanese developers have xenophobia. I weep for Japan if the PS3 fails.

  4. $250??? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    So I am at the store at Christmas shopping for my kids presents. I have a few options:

    - A $600 Sony PS3 that doesnt include a game. So I need to spend $600 plus $60 for another controller + $60-$100 for a game. Total price $780-$820 + tax.
    - A $500 Microsoft 360 that also doesnt include a game. So I need to spend $500 plus $60 for another controller + $50-$60 for a game. Total price $610-$620 + tax.
    - A $250 Nintendo Wii that DOES include a game. So I need to spend $250 plus $60 for another controller + $50 for a game. Total price $360 + tax.

    Damn, which one SHALL I choose?
