Re: Mario & Sonic at the olympics?

In Ageing Mario blamed for Nintendo's woes

Joke

If you had told me twenty years ago that there would one day be a game staring both Sonic and Mario and it would be set in East London of all places, I would have literally spat on your back! What is this world coming too!

Paris Hilton

I cannot stress this enough people - lube, lube, LUBE!

Lube - for all life's little problems!

They might as well do this on South West Trains too!...

In Ryanair ponders in-air mucky movie service

WTF?

I got on a train from Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour one late night a few months back. Needing to use the loo, I politely waited outside of the disabled tardis toilet as it was engaged. A few minuets later, the door slides open and me and the other passengers in the vestibule are greeted by a drunk male commuter proudly proclaiming "I just had a wank in here!" - typical Surrey commuter!

LinkOfHyrule

WTF!!!!

In Beeb to fund ad-mungous Local TV for local people

Coffee/keyboard

Why is catnip still legal then?

In Brussels acts to ensure arrival of new, unknown legal highs

My old puss used to get smashed off her six tits on this stuff, how come pet shops are peddling this filth to children when it's clearly a legal feline high?!

Mine's the one that makes tails go erect!

Paris Hilton

I hate Macs 'cus I can't afford one.

Paris 'cus she is a natural fit with the town of Swindon.

As useful as a teapot?

Paris Hilton

So they're as useful as a teapot? I like tea, I'd find that quite useful.

How about saying they are as tasty as a dog stools teapot?

C++0x is illegal here!

In The New C++: Lay down your guns, knives, and clubs

Gimp

"C++0x" looks to me like the ASCII art representation of a depraved sex act involving barbed wire and as such is considered "extreme porn" under English law!

What in the name of Paris!

In ASA smackdown for Yahoo! Thelma & Louise

Paris Hilton

This is the same as me complaining that The Register causes me to type sarcastic bollocks into interweb forums! It just isn't true, I'm naturally predisposed to talk shit!

In Vodafone touts low-tech phone for app-phobes

Paris Hilton

I brought a cheap £5 vodaphone Nokia a few months back and as well as calls and texts it has a torch and a calculator!

I guess technically though those are kinda classed apps though - the "find your keys in the dark doorway app" and the "I'm very stingy and insist on only paying for own food and drinks when I go out for a meal with someone rather than paying an equal share app".

Paris, 'cus she's also technically classed as an app too!

Paris Hilton

Paris, cos that's also one ugly box!

LinkOfHyrule

The right thing?

In Microsoft replaces Xbox 360s after disc-format switch

Paris Hilton

What, polluting the planet with yet more unusable xboxes - hows that the right thing! Stupid Microsoft should of made a console that actually works in the first place. They treat physical products the same as their shoddy software - when users start complaining about how shit it is they just send out a bloated update. Only instead of a Windows update shoved down a few interwebz tubes, this time is its a big box of badly bodged together cheap Chinese made electronics shoved through your letter box!*

*Yes I know that's gotta be one big-ass letter box, hence the Paris icon!

LinkOfHyrule

Someones been reading the Daily Mail

In David Davis: Jobless should dig trenches for fat UK pipes

Paris Hilton

These scroungers you are on about receive job seekers allowance and they already have "to work for their money" - its called job hunting. If they don't do it they loose their benefits. I think you are getting "unfit for work" and "lazy" mixed up again. Yes there will be some scroungers but don't kid yourself that most benefit recipients are out there living a luxury lifestyle on your tax money cos they aint.

Paris, 'cus she can scrounge off me any time she likes!

Dix-heads

In Dixons to flog off old 'brands' Miranda and Saisho

Paris Hilton

I've never even bloody heard of these "brands" before. Actually I wasn't even sure Dixons were still going, I'm quite shocked they are!

Paris coz at least I've heard of her even if I don't know who she is and what she dose!

Why not just bring back workhouse George

In Boy George promises to cut employment rights

WTF?

Why not just bring back workhouse George and outsource its operation to Foxconn. It could be "staffed" by disability living allowance "scroungers" who because of their life limiting conditions can't actually work and be forced to make iPhones or something.

It will be cheaper than the current Chinese labour used and you could give all "hard-working Conservative voter families" a free iPhone if they keep you in power with free upgrades at every election. It will be good for the economy as once the plebs have tried the iPhone, they will never go back to a Nokia and Apple updates them every year yet you only hold elections what every 4-6 years or something? You'll be kinda like a drug dealer giving the first hit free and all the tax income you make from 4-6 years of iPhone upgrades and app sales will more than cover the cost of all the free phones and solve the budget deficit.

It's a good policy George, you can have it on the house!

Yes! Managed to slag off the Torries, Foxconn and Apple and even throw in some Daily Mail style headlines all in one comment! If only it was actually relevant to the story in question!

LinkOfHyrule

Well maybe this comment is a little silly

In Microsoft to turn your flat into a control pad

Paris Hilton

Hell no! The last thing I want is a piece of Microsoft technology controlling my household gadgets. Seriously, this is not a joke comment, I'm for real!

Microsoft you suck so hard, you can't make anything that actually works properly, your advertising campaigns are an embarrassment and your company name sounds like a medical condition that middle aged not-well-endowed men suffer from!

Well maybe this comment is a little silly but then again so is the idea of touching a bloody wall next to a light switch to turn the blooming lights on!

Paris, cos she lights up too when you touch her wall.

I just had a quick look and for some reason, something about it reminds me of Bing. Yuck!

Paris, cos she also reminds me of Bing but for very different reasons.

if you can patent this clickable video...

In IP firm claims ownership of DVD video-menus

Paris Hilton

I think it's time I patented breathing. Yep that's right, if you can patent this clickable video shit and start suing people to make money then obviously breathing is also patentable. It's obviously an honest way to make a living, why do anything useful when I can sue people!

Paris, cos she's infringing my patent!

Free stuff?

In UK.gov would pay to have benefit claimants' tattoos erased

FAIL

Shall we stop clearing up the litter from your street, maintaining your local park and all the other "free stuff" you get as well then? Are you actually saying that people who cannot work because of health issues should not have the right to have a "lifestyle". Yeah, all the severally disabled people with life limiting conditions will be over joyed hearing that, knowing that they will be fed and housed but can get to hell if they think they are entitled to a little money so that they can leave their home now and then for a day out or to visit family or buy a computer to use the interwebz.

Most people who don't work actually don't work because there are not enough jobs or they cant work. Daily Mail is that way son. Go read it if you want to believe all the myths about benefits claimants. You'll probably love it.

LinkOfHyrule

hard working my arse

In UK.gov would pay to have benefit claimants' tattoos erased

FAIL

In my opinion Titus Technophobe, those who trott out the "hard working families" line are usually selfish idiots who don't actually work hard at all. You think you work hard but compared to some people in this world, your life is so easy. If you don't like it then you can stop sending you kids to state school, stop using the NHS and getting all your prescribed drugs for free, stop using the public road network - you get the idea, all that "socialist toilet" stuff you use all the time. You're probably depriving a family that works harder than you do of its use.

LinkOfHyrule

weird dream

In UK.gov would pay to have benefit claimants' tattoos erased

WTF?

And here I was thinking the Tories wanted to give benefit claimants tattoos, not remove them. Kinda concentration camp style "DOLE SCUM" and an ID number right accrues the forehead or something.

Or was that just a weird dream I had about my next visit to Job Centre Plus?

Don't take my Paris!

In Calling all commentards: Want some new icons?

Paris Hilton

Don't take my Paris! Please! Seriously, don't, she is responsible for most of my upvotes (experience points) thanks to all the cheap shots I have at her expense!

The Frycon idea is good, quite interesting in fact - boom boom.

Maybe replace the grammar Nazi one with the Guardian's logo?

An icon representing Big Society? Maybe it could be a boarded up council library or a malnourished child?

Picture of a fluffy kitten for hard hitting serious stories? I'm out of ideas now.

"It is British too"

In H2O water-powered shower radio

Paris Hilton

"So the H2O is conceptually excellent. It is British too,"

David Cameron is also British, but that doesn't change the fact that he's an ugly, useless, cheap and nasty, lump of tat.

Don't buy British for the sake of it!

Paris, 'cus although she aint British, she is at least conceptually excellent!

I OWN 50% OF TEH REGISTER BOOK

In 'I own half of Facebook', says New York fuel salesman

WTF?

I'm sure I once lived near someone who writes for the the register and we probably get our wood pellets from the same place so I'm demanding you hand over 50% (FIFTY PERCENTS) of the website to me. I'd like the bottom 50% of each page please.

In Game stocks shops with Tesco 3DS consoles

WTF?

A certain newsagents outside a railway station somewhere on the Portsmouth to Waterloo line buys their fags at tescos and sells them over the going rate! Well at least did a couple of years back, not sure if they still do. I know because I asked for twenty Bensons' once and the lady behind the till said "sorry, we aint got any as I ain't been to tescos yet!"

squeezing cash from those polygonal udders!

In Game stocks shops with Tesco 3DS consoles

Paris Hilton

"milk their now-ancient cash cows of Zelda, Metroid, Mario, etc"

Urm, that's a good thing if you ask me! And they're hardly unique in doing so - remind me how many GTA, Halo or COD games there are now? The game industry is all about squeezing cash from those polygonal udders!

Also how is one FPS not essentially a remake of all the ones that came before it. COD is basically Doom with bad voice acting and prettier graphics.

Paris, 'cus I mentioned udders.

Top Tip...

In South West Trains puts squeeze on commuters

Joke

If someone in the seat, or a few seats, in front of you is using a laptop on the class 444 or 450, look up at the glass luggage racks above the seating - they reflect the screen image quite often - it's handy for spying! Well actually, its handy if you want to be bored stiff watching someone work on a spread sheet or watching last-nights EastEnders on iPlayer. I did once see someone coding on the train though - probably one of you lot lol!

In News Corp to trade music for games, readies MySpace sale

FAIL

"People who play FarmVille actually spend real money to buy virtual food or whatever it may be for their pig."

Yeah, these are the same people who get addicted to online bingo - you are scum really for targeting a business at this type of customer. Kid's are going to go without with food so their crazy-ass mother can feed her virtual pig you know!

LinkOfHyrule

It is too expensive

In Nintendo 3DS bothers Brits about blinkers

FAIL

It's not value for money at that price if you ask me. Knock £70 off at least - half its price off and its a must by for me. And redesign it, bloody hell its ugly!
