In the current UK Guardian newspaper weekend guide, there's a small article debating the relative insanity of Mariah Carey and Eminem. The conclusion is presented thusly:

'OK, so she has a preternatural obsession with unicorns, butterflies and dressing like she's in a Black Eyed Peas tribute band but, on reflection, Mimi's the one who seems the least "Games Workshop" of the two'.

Personally, I think this could have legs:

Games Workshop in the membrane.
You don't have to be Games to Workshop here, but it helps.
The Games Workshop of King George.
This is Games Workshop. This is SPARTA!

And so on. The possibilities are finite.

Slightly bizarre reference.

Mind you, GW has turned in Viz twice so far. Once, Ferry Tuckwitt (name spoonered to protect the innocent) was painting Abaddon, shortly before he fails to grasp the concept of perspective and is stomped on by his Dad, and once in Wargames Workshop, a one off strip about the staff I'm surprised isn't 4chan fodder by now.

Hey guys! Let's put Chaos Marines and their Daemons in different armies! And they can never ally with each other!

Wakakakaka!!! i'M sO gAmEsWoRkShOp!!!!!!!!

...and I understood none of that.

What?

Yea, I don't get it.

I was trying to be "crazy".

Apparently it was a flop.

Your joke needs Viagras.

Needed more pun.

I could've used a little more cowbell.

It's because it's in a magazine from the UK. Sorry, I guess Americans just don't "get" irony.

I mean, am I right guys? Right?!



In other news, it was a pretty lame joke. Props to the Guardian for being as unfunny as every other newspaper, while desperately trying to sound "hip."

Will Smith has on a few occasions admitted to playing 40k.

True fact. But what does it have to do with the crazy article?

I posit the following:

Point 1 - Maraiah Carey has an obsession with Unicorns.
Point 2 - Eminem's latest album is pretty much all about kidnapping, raping and murdering women.
Point 3 - Maraiah Carey is the least 'Games Workshop' of the two.

Conclusion - Liking Games Workshop and their products is the hobby equivalent or raping and murdering women.


Make sense?

Now you sound like that guy from the 'Modeling Elitist' thread.

I agree about the strange reference, after all, I was acquitted.

Will Smith plays?

Did he say what army

Our govenor plays Ultramarines, or did at least a few years ago

No clue, but Robin Williams plays Orks.

Are you saying that I shouldn't be kidnapping, raping, and murdering women?

That's not what Jervis told me.

Never believe anything Jervis Johnson tells you. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like Necro's The Sexorcist album. I'll have to look in to this....

I thought being "Games-Workshop" was having no longterm business strategy and treating all you long-time loyal customers like dirt?

And raising your prices during a WORLD-WIDE recession.

So are you saying that Eminem has no long-term business startegy and treats his fans like dirt?


mmm..... why am I suddenly remembering the lyrics for 'Stan'

Well played Gwar

The British newspaper that normally lays into wargaming is the Daily Mail (the most evil newspaper in Britain). I still remember being incensed by one of their editorials about a decade ago trying to make a link between wargaming and various youth crimes.

If I could find it, I would. Read the issue, put it down, and the blackhole under my bed seemingly consumed it for it's own lulz.
