Why would you do that? Every once in a while, my faith in the basically ethical nature of our species gets put to a serious test. Yesterday, we had a horrific, horrific home invasion in a nearby town. Maybe that's why this strikes me as really unfunny.

I think it's hilarious. If I'm reading a book and someone wants to tell me the ending without asking me if I want to hear it, I don't care, it's just a book. The guy at the end chasing the people... he's probably the kid who honest to God thinks he's a descendant of Harry.
I understand it can be frustrating, but seriously, those people need to calm down.

So being a complete and total dick, for no reason whatsoever, ruining something that's important to them, is fine? Harmless? Say Jamo bans not only your account from SG, but your IP (negating any attempt to recreate an account, at least from your normal PC), indefinitely, for no good reason other than we could laugh at you while you were "on vacation". I guess that's just fine with you? You'd be calm about it? Completely accepting that sometimes people are total fuckers, just because they can be, and even though you're now shafted, you gotta roll with the punches?
I have as sick and dry of a sense of humor as anyone, but that's just terrible, and you need to grow the fuck up if you need to be ruining other people's happiness just to create some for yourself. Don't you have a daughter? What if someone did that to her someday and she cried all night? "Don't worry honey... sometimes it's funny when people are assholes. You'll understand someday..."
Right.

People that do shit like this are a bunch of tools. I actually stopped listening to Opie & Anthony when they blew the ending of the Sixth Sense the week after it came out. I can totally see how you are ruining the book, regardless of whether someone is really into it or not. Obviously there was no way for me to be "into" the Sixth Sense without seeing it first, but it did spoil all the fun of the ending of the movie.
Tools - that's it. I hope all the good surprises in their life are spoiled by others also.

If Jamo was a dick and thought it would be fun to ban me for fun, oh well, I'd call it a loss and move on to a different community. There are people like that in the world, and I accept it to a certain extent.
Those are all grown people sitting in line late at night to buy a book aimed at children before everyone else... I haven't seen the book sold out anywhere. Do I understand what it's like to have the ending of something spoiled for me? Oh yeah, was I irritated? Yep. Did I go apeshit and try to attack the person? Hell no, I'm not a psychopath.
There are more important things to worry about, at least they didn't go kick someone in the nuts and steal their wallet, that's something to chase them down over.

Obviously there are going to be jagoffs in life no matter what your opinion on the subject, but would you really be so indifferent if it were something that really mattered to you, and you'd been looking forward to it? Or, like I said before, if it was your daughter? You'd really be that withdrawn, just telling her it was a life lesson and to get over it?
I'm not advocating chasing people down, or any sort of actual retribution. That wasn't my point. The point was that that it's not funny. Anyone that thinks it is, well, that's your opinion I guess.

I remember when H2 was coming out and when people were standing in line to get it, a group of kids went around telling people what the ending was and how you can play as a Arbiture (i think thats how you spell it) i remember seeing alot of people upset in line because it was spoiled, and thses little cocksuckers were just laughing about it, till someone hit one of them upside the head with a snapple bottle.

I agree, we in life well the adults have others things to worry about (mortgage, bills, money issues, life) and other things. Do i think that it was right for those kids to do what they did?..................no but they were dicks for what they done and they thought that it would be funny to do so. Hell i thought that it was funny that they did it. Now for the guy that was chasing the car down.....man that dude has issues! if your going to get mad because someone spoiled the ending then tough! deal with it, get the fucking book and still enjoy it.

I know where you're coming from with this. My daughter has a disease for which there is no cure, so yeah..I find this stuff fairly trivial in the scope of things. However, I don't compare everything in life to that situation, and it doesn't make me wrong for being angry about being screwed over...even with something as trivial as the ending of a book. She is, and always will be, my top priority, and she does consume allot of my thoughts, but there are still going to be other things in life that are going to piss me off.

I'm going to say "F*CK*N BUNG@E BETTER GET THAT MO&#ER F*@K*R ON THE SHELVES NOW!"
It's human nature. And as far as the attack..I've went after people for less, so that doesn't bother me. I once punched my cousin in the mouth for saying Metallica sucked

Again, it's more important to others than it is yourself. You're saying all adults should have the same scope of things that you have. That's bunk. I like to think I have a pretty good scope on things in life, and that I manage my life well in a mostly mature and productive manner. I liked the Harry Potter series quite a bit... more than enough that I'd have been really pissed if some asshole came up to me like in that video.
I wouldn't have kicked his ass, but it clearly would've bothered me more than it would bother you. Mostly because it was something I was looking forward to, but behind that would be the principle that we've been discussing.

That's proof that you're dictating what is and is not an overreaction for them, as you denied you were doing. Okay, universally, maybe we can all consider the guy literally wigging out and chasing them a bit much. That's going to get him into legal issues.
The girl crying? WTF. You don't understand how she was feeling. It was important enough to her to ruin her day, something she'd been looking forward to, and it probably didn't help that it was on video.

It's the whole reason we are here at SG - it's a place where we can get away from people who intentionally ruin our MP gaming experience by cheating in MM. There is no harm in what they are doing, but they are doing it for the sole purpose of ruining someone else's good time. Since when is that ok or funny to intentionally ruin someone else's fun?
And to address Fazeo, no, I am not a Harry Potter fan. I have not, nor will I likely ever read any of the books. I do however respect other people enough not to ruin their fun for them.

Man I'd actually love to see my daughter crying over something like this. Right now I think she'd only cry if her curling iron broke
At least this way I'd know she had a serious interest in reading, which is hella better than some of the other crap she could be into. Even if it is Harry Pothead

It's kinda like if a overly white guy, think Bill Gates type, goes into (insert rough gang controlled area here) dressed like he's a thug, even tries to use the thug speak, saying things like heezy, fo sho, and even drops a few N-words to prove how hip he is.... the black people won't put up with it, the white guy is just trying to make friends, instead he'll be lucky to survive to tell his mom about it. The white guy didn't know it, but he was asking for it, he had a big neon sign above his head that said "whip my ass please". Does that make it right for him to get a beat down? No. These are grown men and women waiting in line for a book primarily aimed at children, are they asking for it? Yes, does that make it right what happened to them? No. Does that make it funny? To me... yes.
Am I a bad person for it? I don't think so, just makes me different. I'm not going to go do it to people.
I think prejudice jokes are funny as well, does that make me prejudice? Ever seen the one using a cup of water, pepper, and dish soap?

Wow. This thread has a lot of readers.
I didn't click on the link. I will say that I've heard about a couple of things like this, including a local radio personality that thought spoiling the book was funny.
It's far from the worst thing you can do, but when did making kids cry by doing something spiteful become funny? Even if you think Harry Potter is the lamest thing ever and thing that adults that read the book are lame (I've read all of them BTW), deliberately making kids sad is never funny to me.

How you can say that the girl is off her rocker (which to me is an insulting phrase in itself, but that's another argument)? People are emotional about different things. Obviously this is something she (and many others) cared deeply about. She probably grew up with the series and found an emotional attachment to it. Many years of waiting were crushed in a short few minutes because of those dicks. And how can you judge someone for crying over something and defend yourself because you find something funny that others don't? It is OK for you to have an emotion and nobody else?
Personally, that video sums up what is wrong today - people have absolutely no respect for other people. They feel they can do anything they want as long as it entertains them. I found it not to be funny in the least and would love to be around when those jerks meet up with their Karma.

Does it bother me that you clearly think that you're better than a lot of people because you label them and say they need to get a life because they were lined up for something they were passionate about? Yes again.
What about all of the people who think they are better than you and that you are a geek for playing video game all the time? So it doesn't bother you, but that makes it right?

When the PS2 launched, a buddy and I waited all night outside of Wal-Mart to get it. We finally got in at 7AM, walked to the counter, got our shit, and left. On the way home we drove through the Best Buy parking lot* to say hello to some friends. My buddy was driving and holding the PS2 box out of his sunroof and making "ayiiiii yiiiii yiii yiiiii" Indian sounds. Then, almost believably he "accidentally" dropped the box and it rolled off the back of the car, at that instant people practically DOVE out of line to go after the box and steal it from my buddy who was being a dick. Too bad the box was empty and it was all a joke. We laughed our ASSES off the whole way back to my apartment where we sat and played PS2 for the next 20 hours. Am I a dick? Fuck, I'm laughing about it right now, and this was 7 years ago
*Backstory: We left my apartment late the night before, later than we wanted anyway, about 2am. We got to best buy and there was a huge line, a bunch of little dicks jumped up and started laughing that we were too late, and there were only 50 units and 60 people in line, "hahahaha, fuck you assholes, go somewhere else" (typical fanboy attitude). So, saddened souls we kept searching, until we wound up at Wal-Mart where 4 hours later we would have two PS2's in our hot little hands.

The over arching point in this thread has been that finding humor in the tragedy of others is not cool. You may not care if something is spoiled for you, and that's all well and good. But that doesn't make it right. Do other people find someone getting humor from others suffering a bad thing? Of course.
You asked why you are being judged, well it seems to me like that's pretty simple. You are judging others. And if you say you aren't then I really don't understand. No one has the right to tell other people how to feel or react. Just because you don't agree or understand their feelings does not mean you have a right to say the over-reacted or need to get over it. To me that is the biggest issue here.

Don't you judge the "spawn camping, deleveling, greifing little pricks on XBL" just like the rest of us do? Anytime we judge someone else, that gives us the right to be judged.
I am not getting heated by any stretch of the imagination, I just find it odd that you don't think there is anything wrong with ruining someone's day just because you can.
If someone drove by the "Come meet Santa" line at Xmas and you were there with your 4 year old, and the ran up to the line and told all the little kids that Santa didn't exist and yanked the beard off the guy playing the part, you wouldn't be upset for her? Or at them? You would just laugh at your kid and say, "Aww shucks, now you know!"

I never thought that this will get so big, when i posted this video i wanted to show the comic side of what people do as well as the tragic side of how this effects others.
Not to take a side on this issue but in SirPwn4g3 defense he has the right to say and feel the way he does, now weather its right or wrong is not for debate, but we here should respect each others choices. I personally thought the video was funny also but i also thought that the guy was an asshole for what he did. I too been upset for things being spoiled, not being there on time, or even when i dont get my way, but i say to myself "fuck it, and make the best of this mikey. At least you will still have it and enjoy it to what you want it to be". Now the girl saying that she is going to cry "pathetic" the guy chasing down the car "pathetic", reason why i say this is because we live in a world of shit and if you put value into an object vs. human life then their is an issue there. For goodness sakes let it go and try to make the best out of the issue. If you know the ending to a book or movie before seeing or reading it and someone spoiled it for you, so what. Does that mean that your not going to read the book or watch the movie because someone told you how its going to end? i can understand that people can be upset that someone spoils something for you, but think of this, does it really matter? and if it does is it the first thing in your life that counts....more that life itself. I remember an SGer (who will remain nameless, out of respect for him/her and me) go on my case cause i said something about the H3 beta being late and that people were making an issue about it. I told him that if your going to make it your first thing in life and get upset because its late, then get over it at least you will still play it. He/She felt that it was his/her duty to defend others and make an mountain out of a molehil, just because of what i said. Do i care about others feelings here? yes, i am a caring person and treat everyone here (expect noob because he stole my skittles and traded it for a bucket of chicken with Blues) with respect and love. I always call everyone here either brother or sister because that is the type of love and respect that i want to show. And so far the reaction that i have recieved is wonderful and a nice change from the daily life of shit that i have to deal with here. One thing that i have notice that we are all here of different opinions and believes. We should all here in SG learn that we are all different and thats what makes this place great to be at. I personally like to see what people are truely feeling and how we are able to talk about this types of things, what i do not like to see is when people gang up on one person just because of what is said, please remember that Being SG is being and adult so lets have fun and respect others opinions. And also i look forward on teabagging everyone of you mutherfuckers online soon.

I was going to go for the big response, but I decided to just say this: Those fucker's got lucky. Especially in the store.

She would have beat the fuck out of him, then to make sure the job was done right, she would have ripped his balls off. Then she would have gotten the book.
I can be a really nice guy, but if you piss me off, I will be the meanest mother fucker you have ever met and you will pay the price for being a dick. If he had done that to me, I would have poked him in the eyes and asked how he liked having his vision ruined. Moral of the story: don't spoil the fun of other people, you could win a Darwin Award.

Haha, yeah, my life is SO drab that I have to lurk waiting for YOU to post. No dude, I was in here posting away when I came across this gem from you. I'm trying to gain a better understanding of our sensitive types here. Thanks for the clarification.

Wow, first post reply and you've already resulted to name calling, I guess I'm not surprised.
Sorry to interrupt everyone, as ewe were.

I find it rather ironic that while you put down JAMO for laughing at a phrase used to refer to the mentally dumb/ill and then you make fun of him calling him mentally dumb/ill.

I stick to my original post in saying the sorry jokers in the video really need to get a life. It's pretty sad when your hobby is crashing other peoples hobby.

You are correct and I apologize for my faux pas.
Jamo, unlike others here I did put a smiley into my little insult. Considering some of the things you have called me in the past, you shouldn't be throwing stones.
As far as what bothers us "sensitive types" here - the biggest problem is the double standard. You have not only advocated, but also promoted slandering certain races here. As "leader" of these boards, you should be setting a better example.

At this I'd like to introduce everyone to a little feature that we have here known as the "Private message". It's a really cool thing where you can almost send a message like email, and no one else has to be involved in the discussion.
Anyway, you click on my controls, click compose message, and then select recepient, and then type away.
Carry on.

Here is my 2 cents. This book was a big deal to me. I am a 34 yr old male who, along with my wife, has invested time and money into this "franchise." Some who may have not read this series must realize that the unexpcected twists and turns are what make the books so endearing to many of us. It is very similar to like someone posted for M. Night's "Sixth Sense" except this is the 7th and final book and people likely have spent over a hundred bucks on this series, 9 years, and countless hours. When I clicked on this topic, I knew what was coming and waited to watch until I finished the book. I still haven't looked at the video past the first few seconds when he asks the girl dressed like the owl "what would you think if I said..." It just frankly made me sad for her and I didn't once think that I was going to find it funny.
Everyone has bad and serious things in their life, regardless of age, and any healthy type of escapism is good for the soul. Telling someone that this "shouldn't be that important" is a little insulting. For some, stuff like this brings joy to their hearts and helps them cope with the "realities" in the world. It's the little things in ones life that make the difference. Obviously, those "things" are based off personal preference; it might be cigars, golf, cars, video games, sunsets, Star Wars, animals, movies, music, etc. The "thing" isn't important. The fact that you know that "thing" is important to someone and find humor when it is ruined for them I think is what offended so many in this thread. This is overkill, but what these guys did in the video to me is similar (but not as serious) to killing someone's beloved pet and laughing about it. You might not understand that this book is that important to some, you may even think it is stupid. However, IMO, the fact that you know that it "is" that important to them and think it's funny that it got ruined is what drew such a heated response. It is pretty obvious that this book, to the people in the video, is very dear to them. To those who think that my post is over the top, you are very free to feel that way and I hold no grudges or ill will to you.
As far as racial, national, or the other topics that came up in the thread. Wow. I will just leave that all alone. I just came here to comment on the thread topic "funny as hell (I don't agree) but wrong if you are a HP fan (do agree)"

Pay no attention to Bastille's comment about racial slandering, for he knows not what he speaks. He's trying to make me out to be a big bad evil Admin, and everyone else here knows his personality and we all just laugh it off and feel sorry for him. I'm NOT an advocate of racial slander, nor have I promoted it here on the boards. Please don't take one persons jaded opinions and hold them as your own. If you have any questions or concerns with me, feel free to PM me, I'm always available. As for this topic, it started as a joke, it took a bad turn early, and kept going down the tubes. It's great to see those that are actually offended by this are NOT the ones taking major issue here, but it's sad to see others arguing about bullshit and using this thread as their vehicle for it (myself included). For my actions and others, I appologize. This thread is now closed.
