Someone petitioned the US government to ban Skyrim, LOL

[Fonger]

Since the original post (as quoted) violates the US Constitution (multiple clauses) --- its destined to fail --- but it will be very entertaining along the way. :biggrin:

Why would u ban skyrim? their is absolutly nothing inappropriate or controversial in that game.

[Shantih]

I'm guessing people who could petition for Skyrim to be banned are likely to frown upon any video game.

 

I guess it's free advertising for Bethesda. :happy:

[Beriallord]

I signed it only to take part in the ongoing LOLs.

 

It would be pretty hilarious if it did get 25k signatures. :biggrin:

Some of the signatures I saw:

"Obvious Troll"

"Duke Nukem"

"Sithis"

"God"

"Optimus Prime"

"Cicero"

"Homer S" of Springfield (come on, don't pretend you don't know where this is from)

"Samus Aran"

 

Hopefully, this is just 4chan trolling the internet (again). If not, this is sad. Really, truly sad.

Frothing at the mouth he jumps up and down. "Down with Skyrim the feeelthy game as published by Playboy and involving explosive fruit missiles being hurled at harmless little homeless whales. Today's video games are causing termite infestation, milk to go sour and teenagers to wear silly costumes at conventions (or is that Star Trek) and ignorance in people who should know better, such as me, myself, and I."

 

At a more series and sad level, either this is silly trolling or the product of silly minds with no real concept of reality. Either way they should have explosive fruit missiles thrown at them.

I noticed Ulfric S on the signing list. XDDDD

 

I like the whole "whereas sexual perversion and homosexuality are threatening to destroy the Christian foundations on which this nation was built" part. Because clearing Skyrim is about homosexuality. Of course. There's nothing in the game about, you know, slaying dragons or anything. And of course gay people are out to destroy everything. xD

 

The trolls on this are amazing, though.

I was just looking through the signatures again, and I noticed my name and where I live :wallbash:

 

I know it's my name because there's only one person with my name that lives in this town. I think I know who did this, too, because there's only one other person I know of that could have read this... I am so :mad:

 

Anyway, I'm going to make an account and sign it as "Cave Johnson" of Michigan or "Rusty Shackleford" of Arlen, Texas.

As hilarious this trolling is , it shows for me, in a ironic way, what is wrong with petitions in the US and that government isn't taken serious any more ... This development shows how deep the rift between politician cabinet of curiosities and the US citizens is in a parody kind of way ... in fact i don't know where ever I shall laughs or cry at this troll-petition.
