Reliable Source: I Sometimes Shoplift From GameStop

[Danpascooch]

I know these articles are fictions, but sometimes, I read articles like this one, and I just have to wonder...

Great article, by the way. May your cargo pants liberate us from our corporate masters.

I like to think that they are embellished truth.

The truth I read out of this was: "His mom was overprotective, his sister had sex with a delinquent (probably didn't get pregnant though), and maybe one time he stole a game from a store"

Countless anonymous pirates steal games with a couple clicks.

But they don't, do they? Because theft is legally defined (here in Canada anyways) as depriving someone of their property. And piracy makes a copy; it doesn't take anything away.

Sorry, won't get you off the hook in Canada, they could easily argue that you deprived them of whatever the game cost

Congratulations on stealing empty boxes?

No seriously though, good piece. My parents were the same way...only difference is its now the 21st century and they haven't changed a bit...

I love parents who think any sort of media that doesn't directly reference Christ is developed and distributed by Satan. I've trolled online Christian support groups, reading horror stories about "evil" games written by oblivious parents and consisting mostly of poorly understood misinformation and hearsay. My favorite is the understanding that actual wands and ceremonial objects are used when playing Magic: The Gathering and the players must recite spells to invoke the power of demons whenever "summoning" a card into play. There are entire website dedicated to the evils of DnD.

I guess it won't help saying that I am currently in a D&D group with my local minister and we also constantly play Magic: The Gathering together will it?

Haha, nah dude, I didn't say "all christians think dnd is bad", i was just pointing out the humor surrounding a highly vocal and misinformed minority.

"Every time I get drunk and shoplift at a GameStop, I am amazed at how successful her plan was."

You are my new favorite person!

Funniest thing I've read on The Escapist, still laughing.
