"Newsround researchers deserve to die"

Was watching Newsround (I know I know, don’t ask), when this report on the Gamecube came up. This is pretty much the exact wording

‘Gamecube sales are plummeting. More of you are buying Playstaion 2 and Xbox’

Then these words emanated from the presenters mouth that made me want to go down to BBC headgquarters and b.itch-slap the Newsround researches

‘Nintendo’s plan is to make new games (DUH!!) with cuter characters!’

*sigh*

Goes to show you how neutral Kids TV is... erm, not very. They'll always go for the mainstream console... but son't get me talking about things like this when I'm listening to Rage Against The Machine, I can feel my anger building as I type.

Newsround probably got a fat check from the beast that is Microsoft!

And that would happen when?

lol :^)

c'mon people, these are the same people that told you that Saddam was dead, Beckham was going to Real and George Bush won the last election. Anything for a story.

Wait till they play through Zelda... superb.

Yeah, I saw it, and what they were saying was just about as much absolute drivel as I think I've ever seen and heard.

"Most people have chosen to ignore Nintendo's Gamecube, and most of you are buying PS2 and Xbox."

What? Can the BBC not see past the fact that maybe these sales figures have been taken from the sales of the Gamecube in the UK.

What would be a much more interesting would be a report saying "Gamecube sales are plummeting, yet across the world there's a chance that it's outselling the Xbox."

That would be much more realistic and a lot less biased and stupid.

Idiots.

Well, I never saw it, but from the sound of it, it doesn't look to good for Nintendo.

This sort of news just makes me cringe.

Hmmm.
