Was that book published by the brilliant minds at Encyclopaedia Dramatica, by any chance?  From what you've said, it sounds like their brand of "satire."

Did you check the link in my previous post?



If you consider that offensive, you need your head checked.

Satire should be a little offensive.  That's why Irish parents eat their own children.

Very true, Luigison. That's exactly the type of stuff featured in the book: Dalton also argues that the Chinese stole kung fu from Black people, who invented it in 1970's action movies.

Dude, that's like bringing ****** to school and getting mad when they confiscated your gaping man ******* porn because it's clearly actually a satire of porn designed to shock smallminded conservatives.

I would liken it more to bring ****** cookies to school, as it's intended to be humourous for anyone with a decent sense of it. Heck, I explained that "White people drive like this / Black people drive like this" gag to a classmate who happens to be Black, and he lol'd.

I wasn't aware the G word was censored around these parts.

When I wasn't logged in, I thought you two were talking about something else entirely.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Issue resolved. Other than the principal showing my mom the book's chart comparing penis size by race, things went pretty smoothly. I've basically been [dukar]listed from bringing my own reading material to school, but it could've ended much worse.

Honestly, I've seen black dudes put their seat so far back that they order food at a fast food joint out of the back window.
Formerly quite reasonable.

Protip: Never wait to buy special-edition products, lest they become discontinued by their manufacturers, subsequently leaving you to deal with appallingly unscrupulous vendors:

You could've snatched it when it was $30 at Target, during the holidays.  Or at least, you could've in the US.

Ha-Haaa, glad I nabbed it while I could. (Although we still have a new copy where I work.)
That was a joke.

Could've, should've, didn't. Even used copies go for a minimum of $60 USD, plus $7 international shipping. Blehh.
