Yep... you did.
I don't know if Jeff is the best 4th Chair though. I think it would take away what makes GFW Radio different from 1UP Yours. It'd be nice to have two episodes of 1UPY a week, but I'd rather have two distinct shows. I think someone like Nick Suttner or Milky would be great as a fourth chair, as they are a more console gaming style voice. Or just bring back John
PS. Shawn is hilarious. that is all.

Why do you even have to respond if all you want to do is downplay it? It's a legitimate gripe and the most you could come up with is that short line? It gets ridiculous that you have to defend him. Why couldn't you just let the guy express his emotions w/o defending Jeff Green?CoG said:

here is a wiki about the gta mods
from annoying nerdvoice jeff green:
The comment/joke I made was beyond tasteless and offensive. That was the whole point.
It kind of ruins it to have to explain it, but that's okay because I can see that at least a couple of you got seriously offended. It was extreme exaggeration for comedic effect (and, ya know, I *have* made holocaust jokes on GFW Radio, because I am a believer that humor is always the best weapon against hate and ignorance).
But let's try this:
Listen back to the context of the discussion. They were trying to explain to me how horrifying the Metal Gear Online login was. At one point, Shawn said something along the lines of, which the others agreed with, that: "this is typical for Japan" (though he was careful to say he was not meaning to sound inflammatory/racist/whatever, which of course he wasn't cuz he's too smart for that). I made the point that ALL online ventures suffer from this kind of clusterfuck. In other words: I was defending Japan. Now they are telling me, "no, wait, wait, you don't understand--listen to just how bad this is!" to convince me that, no, in fact, this Japanese company in fact has screwed it up worse than anyone. This is the setup to that comment of mine. That was me saying, "Gosh, you guys are right! This is terrible! I hate Japan now!" It was sarcastic. It was a joke.
As someone else in the thread said, I'm the guy who couldn't handle 16 Candles without getting royally pissed off at the obscene racism of the Long Duk Dong character.
Okay, kids? And if you want to hear any jewish jokes, I've got a million of them. Offensive ones, too!

That's what made the thing so shocking, to me, especially after this week's GFW Radio podcast.farnham said:
And to the people who are offended by the people who were offended by the remark: seriously? Those people have every right to be offended. Just because it was a joke doesn't mean that it's any less offensive.
This podcast sucked. Dumb jokes, so much fucking giggling, cackling and laughing. I hate it. And Shawn talking about the GTA SA Mod was funny for the first 8 minutes but then he rambled on for like 25 minutes. I prefer the PC guys on the PC podcasts while sometimes coming on as guests.

there is a difference if you say something as a joke and if you say something and actually mean that shit...
for example.. if you hang out with your friends.. you might want to brag about something and then you might actually argue with your friend about some shit just for the sake of it.. you might even insult him just for fun and because you know that it is accepted..
that situation is different from a situation where you actually argue with someone and mean what you say.. in that situation an insult could mean something way more severe..
now in this podcast the problem is that many many people listen to this.. jeff never knew who would listen to him.. but the podcast itself is a conversation between colleagues.. in that atmosphere (and with alcohol) you might just start to say something like that for fun...
I do think that they should have edited that part out though..

I guess when a nameless person cheats on his wife it's okay, but god forbid A GOVERNOR does it.
Actually gaf is pretty good at banning offensive users. Although I'm not sure a call to "nuke Japan" would get you banned here. After all, don't Japanese have a weird culture, watch animu and fap to loli schoolgirls?

Bagel Hole in Brooklyn had some great fucking jewish bagels. Unfortunately the place looked like a bioshock level.
border said:
Ahh! Don't take that bait! The thing is, no one is deserving of any form of hate speech. But everyone gets it, all the time. You can find black comics joking about slavery, Jewish comics joking about the holocaust, etc etc. I just watched an Indian comic making fun of the Indian accent---defusing the fact that stupid white Americans go around doing the "Apu" voice all the time.
Oh, and the only bagel joke I have is a lame one, which I used to tell my daughter before she got too old for jokes like this:
Q: Why do seagulls fly over the sea?
A: Because if they flew over the bay, they'd be bagels!
