In a bitter and twisted move, major companies (being too lazy a journalist to write them all down I’ll just put) Sony et al, have decided to ban Greece and it’s inhabitants from inclusion within computer games.
A Microsoft spokesman confirmed this to us (because no one else would as I was wearing a t-shirt that said: Is that a joy-stick in your pocket and are you shop lifting again!) and also in a verbose manner; the retrospective nature of their intention. “Obviously we are re-writing Age of Empires to erase the Greeks from history and we shall replace them in the game(s) with American patriots. A patch will be released forthwith on the forth, with four downloads being available for you”. When challenged about altering the historical accuracy in this manner the Microsoft employee of the hour (zone one seven) retorted “We do this all the time, ever since Waterloo when we routed the commie Napoleon and his mutant Dalek-Gorillas, we have gone out of our way to alter history to our own porpoises”. Seconds later the employee’s great great great grandfather appeared in a time machine and proclaimed “I think he meant to say purposes”.
As for forthcoming releases it is apparent that Greek Theft Auto and Metal Greek Solid will probably never see the light of day. Which is just as well as they are poorly thought out pun titles and any success would be thoroughly and reservedly undeserved.
The politicians of Greece are still standing firm over their blanket ban throughout the whole country, which is all well and good but more importantly they are not being moved on the computer game ban either.
However it is thought that the wording of the anti-online gambling bill was incorrect. It should have read “Electronic gaming is to be forthwith, post-haste, without further ado, regardless of any more distraction or humus, without reservation table seats are not available by the window after 8pm, it shall be made illegal, unlawful, naughty and quite bad for any Geek to play computer games”.
Once the amendment to the statute is passed expect to see the rest of the world to follow suite, except for America who will trump on everyone one else with their patriotic hearts.
