Cut The C&*p! Gamer's Swear Jar Coming Soon

[LG Jargon]

no fucking way i am going to throw any fucking cent in that fucking jar just for shit and giggles and no fucking clear idea what exctly unicef is going to do with my shitty money.

not since other organisation have done more harm than good with it and other controversies around unicef has started to emerge.

December 2000: The Wall Street Journal revealed UNICEF's mission to discourage AIDS positive mothers from switching to infant formula. By the UN's own statistics, an estimated 3.4 million children had contracted AIDS from their mothers and died. Between 1.1 and 1.7 million of those children, mostly in Africa, were believed to have been infected with HIV through breast-feeding. Yet, while Nestle and Wyeth, the leading manufacturers of infant formula in the United States, were ready and willing to provide free formula, UNICEF adamantly refused to support their offers. (17)

Yeah...the first paragraph of the article in your link sounded like bullshit conservative anti-abortion and anti-contraceptive propaganda to me, so my mind immediately shut down after that. Whether or not that WSJ article is true (even though WSJ is also a conservative newspaper, so I'll take that with a grain of salt, too), I don't rightly know. Plus, that was 13 years ago; even if their policies were like that, they most likely have changed by now.

OT: No fucking way am I doing this. I'm a grown-ass adult, I'll curse if I want to, and I'll be goddamned if I give one motherfucking cent up of my hard-earned cash just for some dumbass swear jar, even if it donates to a well-respected charity.

Frack off you frelling p'tok.

Even if this was mandatory we have more enough Sci-fi swear words to getting around it.

 

[purplemonkey555]

Great idea, but I would probably go broke after a few hours of multiplayer.

 

[Seventh Actuality]

Nice thought, but I'm not going to partake in anything that counts 'damn' and 'crap' as proper swearwords.

 

[viranimus]

No. Just No.

Ive got a much better idea. People need to grow up, get over it and grow a properly thick skin already.

Im all for charity and all which makes this regrettable but it is sort of like the charity to "fix" the ME3 ending debacle.

It's sad when people are trying to bring ideas from Demolition Man into reality:

I wish this were a mandatory inclusion in all gaming platforms. Don't get me wrong. I like four letter words, but people who use them with every sentence or even multiple times per sentence annoy me to no end.

It annoys me when people quote religious texts but I don't feel like censoring them.
Limiting people's vocabulary for the vague reason of "clean language" (whatever that means), is not a good idea.

 

[Mersadeon]

No thank you. If I want to make a contribution, I'll do that as a concious decision. Also, donating money makes a person feel good - don't you want to punish yourself for swearing? Pavlov's dog is barking.

 

[Brian Tams]

What a fucking brilliant idea. Fucking seriously, Unicef; what a clever way to end shitty language online, you smart bastards. This is sure to stop cocky cunts from making complete asses out of themselves. Those cocks will think twice before using their damn language.

Here's what Stephen Fry has to say on the subject.

 

[loc978]

Since when is "crap" a swear?

Is that what they were trying to portray? I have a more literal pronunciation of it in my head. "Cut the candasteriskpee!"

Also, I doubt this is going to raise much. I'd prefer to see a similar charge (involuntary, though) applied to xbox live accounts every time a racial slur is used. That might get somewhere.

Site's down, backlash already?
