Microsoft Suspends Gamer For Being From Fort Gay
maclizard writes "The town's name is real. But when Josh Moore tried to tell Seattle-based Microsoft and the enforcement team at Xbox Live that Fort Gay was a real place, they wouldn't take his word for it. Or Google it. Or check the US Postal Service website for a ZIP code. I personally feel for those of you from Big Bone Lick, KY."
"Mais oui! The name of my village in France is indeed Goatse! We even have a... how you say... website!"
Trolling is a art,
Obviously they would Bing it
So, umm, how about Bangkok residents? Or folks from Palmer's Head? Or Fort Dix? Morehead? Red Lick? Boone's Blow? Phuk?
Microsoft sure pulled a boner this time.
...a user from Fucking, Austria would have...

Lets not forget Dildo Run, Newfoundland. Maybe Hell as well?
Dildo; Newfoundland http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=&vps=21&jsv=274a&sll=47.573399,-53.558478&sspn=0.02018,0.044804&ie=UTF8&geocode=FeHa1QIdO8nO_A&split=0
Dildo and South Dildo can be found in Newfoundland not far from St. John's, hard by Dildo Bay. Sadly, the first church built in Dildo, in 1878, had no tower, though it should be noted that two stoves providing heat shared a long chimney.
South Dildo's claim to fame for many years was a life-size wooden humpback whale head.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
Almost as good as when my local paper reported on the football matchup between Virgin Valley HS and Beaver High: "Virgin Pounds Beaver".
Screwed if you live there
And it was real awkward when she called after work and asked how far I was.
I'm close to Cumming.
Doesn't say much about an IT company when they can't even figure out basic information technology tools, including their own:

Hey, my ancestry goes back to Austria! You take that back!
My mother once tried to order a gift to be shipped to a friend in New Mexico. She ordered the item, specified all the details, etc, then it came time to set up the shipping address.
The woman on the other end then stated, rather brusquely, that the company did not ship internationally and that their catalog clearly stated that fact.
When my mother reiterated that it was in New Mexico, in the Southern United States, the woman (who worked at a call center in Texas, which happens to share a border with both Mexico (the country) and New Mexico (the US state)) yelled "New Mexico, Old Mexico, what's the difference? Can't you people read? I told you, we don't ship internationally!" and hung up on her.

It's actually quite hilarious that it is #34, as in rule 34 :)

You might not realize this, but your sig is hostile and transphobic, even if it is a quote by Carlin.
It's inappropriate to refer to a trans woman as a 'transsexual guy'
What if this guy Carlin is referring too has just made his decision and is not yet living as a woman? I think you are really splitting Harry's here.

Sergeant: I can get you delayed entry, your own uniforms, grenades, and ammo. I can probably get you stationed over at Fort Dix.
Butthead: Fort Dix? Is that anywhere near Fort Nuts?
Sheesh. All this trouble from a company founded by Bill Gaytes.
I wonder how far it is from Whoosh, North Dakota?
