SA TV show The Verge mocks gamers

But of course, we're just so stupid we simply cannot see the 'joke' in a video consisting of 4 minutes of mocking gamers.

Ah, Cybernet was awesome. Sigh, we need more shows like it. Used to love that intro music too.

The detailed nature of our reports and strong all-round presence should indicate a healthy respect for gaming culture and the people who participate in it. Vuzu is an entertainment channel and we think humour is an important aspect of that, so hopefully the small number of viewers unhappy with the LAN report will see the lighter side of things.

I agree, however, I can think of a whole bunch of different angles to go on other than that which you chose! It was a poor choice to mock them as you did, and something you shouldn't be so dismissive about....take it on the chin, you stuffed up!
I mean, you're a gaming show, the stupidity is ridiculous.

+1 Used to love that show when I was a lightie.

I wonder what would happen if I had to get a buddy to follow me with a camera as I attend a weekend fashion expo, go into the makeup/changing rooms, take brushes et al and brush them across people's faces and ask "so what happens if I brush this here?", and dub them all the witches of Eastwick.

I could then find the most beplastered woman there and dub her Cruella De Ville, and ask her if she has her bitches there with her.

FTFY.

Not all of us think with our dicks.

Take her pretty face, tits and ass away and I can guarantee the vast majority of people she was belittling on camera wouldn't have tolerated her.

Wow...the fact that this happens on a gaming show just makes this video even more retarded :/ how do you expect to impress your audience if they're the ones that you're busy mocking... FAIL -_-

What a joke!
