But similarly you don't have to be taking something seriously to find it offensive - I generally take UK:R with an enormous dose of salt, chuckling at the bits I like and skimming past the stuff I don't. But just because I generally do that doesn't mean I can't sit down and state when I think it's gone a bit too far. -

Agreed. I don't recall ever saying otherwise. If I did... well, I didn't mean to imply that it's wrong to be offended.

Registered 15 years agoNo, sorry just don't get the UK:R site at all...
people claim it's a comical parody website, but shouldn't that mean they critise all the console manufacturers? it seems only sony get's there 'special' kind of love, where as sega, and ninty get almost god like worship... even the 360 jokes have dried up, christ they've evn challanged 'sony' fanboys to defend the console on their site, and even this turned into sony = evil / sega-ninty-ms = good and wholesome..
so is it what it claims it is or is it a website run by bitter twisted sega saddo's who are lamenting the death of the dreamcast and blame it all on sony (and not sega..?) which has now reached a really low point by claiming it just satirical to say playstation is for aids infected pedos...
even if they claim there just joking around, saying that playstation is the console of choice for aids infected pedo's has got to be libelous... -

ok perhaps i should have said it's a console parody website..
happy now? -
It's a site by a bunch of old sega fans.
Don't they work for a 360 mag now or summat?
It's just a laugh. No need for balance. It's not the BBC. -
But it's part of their comical spiel that they hate Sony and love Ninty/Sega. That's virtually the whole point of the site.
It's a parody/exaggeration of fanboyism that for some reason people have decided to take seriously. -

ok it's good for a laugh but surely they have to be responsible for what they publish?
if a daily newspaper made a statement that playstation is for aids infected pedo's they'd be sued (quite rightly) by sony... but because there just a bunch of old sega fans it's ok? -

It's clearly a joke.
Should The Onion be sued for publishing blatant falsehoods? -

I presonally feel the UK:R does seem to have lost it's way alittle. Some of the more recent posts have gone a little too far (the AIDS rape thing being a prime example)
They've got so caught up in the Sony hate jokes that they're forgetting to post anything else. What happened to dogs wearing sonic hats and alike.
Not to mention that there must be number of people coming across the sight who don't know it's ment to be tong in cheek.
It's also starting to get a little old. -

Registered 18 years agoAgree, Moz in fact i said the same thing a few pages ago.
I loved the Sega stickers article where they pleaded "No more pics of Dog Vaginas, please!"
I still like UK:R their Ken Kutaragi caption compo was a work of genius. -
