Seriously wtf???

It's also hard to see how the woman can seriously expect to sue Nintendo for "her son's lost future earnings" when he was a thirty year old who spent 48 hours a week sat in front of the TV playing Mario. Nintendo are understandably denying any responsibility for the death,

For our sake his death only serves to benefit the gene pool.

Perhaps, or maybe he just died doing what he loved.
I would probably keep playing if I only had a seizure 1% of the time for example, although I would kiddy proof my house a bit.
It just occurred to me, starting with Kid Icarus all games are required to post a 'seizure warning' somewhere either on the packaging or in the booklet. The way I see, and I'm not a lawyer, so long as they do that, no one intending to sue for something like this has a leg to stand on.

In Poland, every manufacturer of "dangerous products" has legal responsibility to inform about every common and reasonable dangers coming from the product. So risk of having a seizure is one of them. Other common examples are selling flammables, explosive material etc has to be visibly marked.

I guess it's similar in most countries. For example to warn about battery acid being dangerous and other shit.
Amazing?!

Come on, that is a mean thing to say just because the guy has no life and then has a seizure.

Therefore you can't kill something that has no life

CASE DISMISSED YOUR HONOR
I didn't know N64 can do that. I knew those cords couldn't be trusted.
It's getting to the point I can't even make a tasteless joke in here without getting shit on by someone. What pisses me off is that I REALLY like langurmonkey and think he adds a lot to this forum. God knows if it was someone I could give two shits about it wouldn't bother me. I weep.

Anyway apart from that I was making a reference to the "Darwin Awards" most of which go to people who have died at the hands of stupidity and in a broad satirical sense gone on to prove the theory of "survival of the fittest". Either way it's meant to be laughed at, not prescribed to, like the Onion. No one gets on their ass for their crass humor.

In no way, did I shit on you. I didn't even downrep that post of yours. When you are dealing with a large group of people, it's only normal, that a lot of people won't get your sense of humor or whatever.
