It's a sad day when you have to provide context for the joke.

But seeing as how the last two comics got a myriad of 'I don't it', then I can understand why :D

I've found it more funny than anything because I only just now conquered my spelling of 'necessary'. I kept switching the c's and the s's.
Neck-ess-ary, minus the 'k'.

Your grammar sucks, flooidd is spelled with two d's.

OT: It's odd, often I don't get the strips, this time where the context is provided I got it without any problems...

Hooray! I finally got the music lyric at the end of the strip! Of course, any Python fan worth his salt is going to get it, but still, I got it for a change.

oh I saw the context we were given I'm just saying perfect spelling is over rated you might say it isn't "necessary".

and I just quoted the wrong post -_-;

And why, I must ask, is Erin not at the front of the torch-bearing mob with something like flaming nunchuku or maybe a BFG? After all, she goes all out for spiders, so why not the editors?

Now, call me crazy, but isn't what Mr. Jaffe suggesting similar to, but not identical to, what the BBC does?

Of course the BBC has editors and such, but they are bound by it's Royal Charter and Agreement to maintain "editorial independence" and, because of the licence fee providing guaranteed income (i.e. no need for advertisers) they can cover stories in any which way as long as it remains neutral and independent, even as a state broadcaster.

The way I see it, what the hypothetical Kickstarter money would do is give the hypothetical writing team that same level of editorial/writing independence.

tl;dr: make the whole of the BBC a games focused news outlet.

If it gets Jim Sterling on Have I Got News For You then I'm all for this.

I don't think the link was necessary (ha ha, I am smarter than that journalist!) to explain the joke. I suppose context is nice though.

It's even more sad that people haven't seen "Say Anything" and don't realize how Activision is evil.

Like Bill Cosby, I have a bad taste in my mouth now..
