Do you think Nintendo intended for all the letters with stars on them to spell "U R MR GAY"?

"please do not hotlink our images"

tom and i were talking about it yesterday
i don't think it was deliberate
( manolith hooray for me, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 9:01, archived)

psst, the new one doesn't have the stars!
( manolith hooray for me, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 9:07, archived)

What, new covers for the game or that link up there? The link definitely does.
( FoldsFive, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 9:24, archived)

it's a working link but the picture it links to doesn't have the stars that we were talking about
( manolith hooray for me, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 9:27, archived)

yes it does. I'm looking at them now.
( FoldsFive, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 9:38, archived)

oh yeah, for some reason i remember them being bigger. can see them now. why're we still whispering?

I think the fact that the Sun thought their readers needed it spelling out speaks volumes.

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 8:37, archived)

They can still only work it out by pointing at the individual letters as they read them out loud.

"coincidence"
Yeah right.

Mhm, fired designer, more like.

National coverage in the paper for free.
Raise and a new car for the designer.

Yes, that's true.
I hadn't thought of it like that.

I liked the you've been tangoed adverts that got banned.

( BindiBaji, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 8:46, archived)

It seems school was more fun years ago.
I'm sure they'd ban pogs these days, in case a kid threw a slammer at someone's precious Tarquin.
( Bats, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 9:03, archived)

pogs got banned while i was at school

( manolith hooray for me, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 9:03, archived)

Really?
Oh. Maybe I had a liberal-minded school, I don't remember them being banned.

My point stands: Why can't kids beat each other senseless with ill-advised toys and excuses from TV these days?
( Bats, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 9:05, archived)

they were banned because fights were erupting
i was fucking brilliant at pogs
( manolith hooray for me, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 9:08, archived)

Conkers being banned is madness.
And something that makes me angry.

That's crap
Pogs are ace.

is true. Remember the Asda 'Microsoft' bras. So much publicity for so little money.

Link, please?
Google doesn't like me.
( Bats, Thu 25 Jun 2009, 8:58, archived)

The Asda/Microsoft spat is difficult to find.
But Asda advertised a range of lingerie made from a type of material they decided to call 'Microsoft Fibre', in the knowledge that Microsoft wouldn't be able to resist making a fuss.

It was all over the papers for a few days. Publicity worth, well, perhaps not 'millions' but a lot.

I note that the Sun yesterday had the headline "The Twitter batter of Tiny Pete". Genius.
I can only presume Jordan has been slagging off Peter Andre on twitter.

Sometimes I wonder if they come up with the pun first and make the news happen afterwards to make it fit.
