Lets part take in a DDOS attack on their web page....
Worst. "apology". ever. Reminds me of Mel Gibson "apologising" to the jews.
Even this guy isn't as much of a troll as Lalla was.Originally Posted by jinyu04
They can respond all they want, the damage has been done.
Yeah, not impressed at all...
They can swing it anyway they want - they still insulted gamers. and the fact that they deleted and are still deleting posts/comments proves just how nonchalant they are about it!
I really thought that the stereotype has changed in the past few years, but then you get people like the Verge that just blatantly and openly insults their target market...
Disgusting.
The content of their show may be what they call 'entertainment', but it is seemingly more valid to pre-teens and toddlers that has no grasp of (and isn't even part of) the actual gaming community.
The people that feel insulted are all of the gamers who are working class and successful IT professionals (which is probably >80% of the gaming community).
They might be the only local games show, but if this is their attitude, then they can kiss their ratings (whats left of it) goodbye!
LOL and let this be a lesson to all of you:
"One does not simply walk into Mordor"
For if one walks into Mordor one may encounter Trolls
"The Only Blood Type that matters is .... Red" Zombie Proverb
If there is ONE thing gamers are consistently good at, its insulting other gamers. And Gamers are only bleak about this because they got ripped on first by a hottie. Notch
Seriously, gaming is serious business.

This is where people need to learn to exercise some self control
Taking the high ground on this would have been easy, laugh about it and forget it, don't watch the show
Instead of that though, all sorts of trolls have now come out of the woodwork to retaliate against this most heinous of offenses
Posting stuff like "She Deserves to be slapped around etc"
Demonstrates nothing aside form the fact that you have a warped outlook on what the Female role in society is, this makes us all look like a bunch of immature idiots
Posting stuff like "I'd do all sorts of nasty things to her etc"
Demonstrates that in conjunction with the above you may also have some repression issues
Keep it clean, don't enforce a stereotype that we are all Geeks that are incapable of dealing with issues outside of Screaming
"N00b" and then making derogatory comments

i didnt like the way she treated that first dude who had a wife, trying to belittle him and what not, everyone there came to have a good tiem for the looks of it, someone shoudl have told her:
"take your ass back JHB, go learn some manners, dont came back untill something hits and wakes you up"
or
"sit your $5 ass down before i make some change"
what a fail.....
"Oh jirre Bakgat nou wat?"
