Microsoft Apologizes to Fort Gay for Xbox Live Ban

I'm surprised this place hasn't been given a similar treatment.
OT: It is bad PR for Microsoft as now there is going to be a lot of discussion about how Microsoft discriminates against homosexuals. There should be some serious changes in the customer service department happening soon.

I can understand the skepticism but that's a tad lazy from the MS guy.
On a related note, there's a place near where I live called Velvet Bottom.

I don't see where the MS hate is coming from on this one. Yes, MS has it's problems. But this was one minimum wage monkey being a dipshit, not the company as a whole. And one person even pointed out that it's possible she couldn't access the internet to find out the truth. She should have found a better way of handling it (like talking to a supervisor) but can you really blame her for thinking the town was fake? (It's even said there's only like 800 people there, so it's unlikely she would have heard of it anyways)
When the problem was discovered, MS took all the right actions (reinstating his subscription, and offering a personal apology from a highly placed manager.
The level that particular employee was working on was a very low one. It's like claiming Domino's is stupid and evil because the 20-something delivery driver is a moron.

now they'll probably do what krusty the clown did in his clown class, "remember these funny place names!"
I remember I couldn't enter an online contest at Gamesradar because I live in a place called "Hancock."
Ah, the beloved Scunthorpe Problem (take away the S and Horpe and you'll see why internet providers blocked people from that area)
Welcome to... FORT GAY!
The customer service rep was doing her job up until she refused to google the location.
This mistake won't be happening again, I'm sure!

That'd be Austria.Darchrow said:
Popular with tourists, for some reason.
(they don't help matters by having road safety signs underneath the town name, reading "nicht so schnell!" - so the whole thing reads "Fucking. Not too quick!")
