    CTYI..... that explains it. the only people in the world that try really hard to develop a cutting edge opperation to try and force their heads further up there own ass's.

    anyway. i saw that game on sale in HMV a while ago, wasn't very well displayed. kinda hidden under loads of stuff. had i money that day i would have bought it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 292 ✭✭Spenguin


    Oh my god thats brilliant. Offended? Why would they get offended? I wouldn't get offended if they made some sort of stupid drunken irish monopoly. But I suppose its different somehow. Lotsa people in CTYI could be stupid, but not all of them are all obnoxious and annoying.
    aliminator is really stoopid and loud

    tormented youth more like. look at me on boards, or spenguin's attempt at a cover up. doesn't have the balls to state it out loud.
    cheers lads.


    The board of ghettopoly looked class. they had the pimp-houses and second class hotels and what not as the streets. i think a lone shark thug-hole was one of the 'bad things' that could happen to ya. sounded great. whatever happened to freedom of speech? we get that line shoved down are throats all the time.
    the playing pieces were guns and i think a syringe was there too.
    class looking thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 292 ✭✭Spenguin


    Well people wouldn't be mean if you didn't say such asshole-like things. No offense. Especially in that feminism thread. Guns and syringes? Wheres the fun in that? They should replace things from the original game like the hat should have a feather in it, and the car should be one of those pimp cars.

    OMG, with all the sh*t in the world, people have time to dedicate to stopping a 'board game'???

    'Cardboard, dice, cards, paper', how scary and evil, grow up and get a life!!

    Who are these stooooopid as*holes??

    Bring on the 'drunken Irish idiot Oploy'. You will see the idiots crawl out looking for a ban on it too.

    Monopoly is all about posh twats, buying expensive places, lets see other end of scale eh?

    I'd say blacks would enjoy it as much as us, if not more. I laugh my ass off at D'unbelievables, cos Ma from country, but most Dubs (full Dub), don't laugh as much, need to be able to relate.

    Get it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    No money, will you buy it for me? Then I'll give feedback about how much i laughed, types of laughter involved and so on..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 965 ✭✭✭DriftingRain


    HAHAHAHAHA
    Actually I agree with the maker of the board game.
    "If we can't laugh at ourselves ... we'll continue to live in blame and bitterness."

    It is all in fun. :rolleyes:
