Satire: Petition submitted to Obama to destroy Skyrim

Destroy all copies, arrest every player! Nothing like a good bit of satire

Lol!!! Now that's some funny shit.

I don't blame anybody for falling for that, spend enough time on Reddit and you will realize American fundamentalist Christians are that fucking crazy.

Yup, Poe's Law works in full force here.

Haha can't believe anyone fell for that. Had it been something like GTA or Diablo then it might have fooled me too, but Skyrim?

I was laughing reading the article, thinking that not again they never going to get it right anyway... But didnt expect it to be a joke. That is one way to get publicity over a game that needed none.

Fair enough it's a joke, but keeping in mind that people are totally falling for articles on The Onion, I wouldn't be surprised if this thing picks up a couple of hundred signatures from the same kinds of idiots.

Seriously, some idiot is going to forward that thing to his government rep

 

[PlainStack]

I wasn't to surprised really, it was done by an American so yeah that says it all.
