Original-Gamer writes: "Ah, the wonderful sport that is soccer. Or, as those on the other side of the hemisphere call it: "futbol."

So derogatory language is perfectly acceptable in gaming and "journalism"

So, I'm assuming you live in the UK.

I'm still perplexed as to how someone in Nintendo figured Mario dropping the S bomb went well and then letting it roll all the way to retail.

I hated the LBP one, was so annoying. And those spastic guys in Mario, how naughty! ;)
