Can't say the signs weren't already there:

Maybe next time they shouldn't wait for a rape.

You're right, people put up with him for too long.

Some supermarkets in Ireland have announced immediate removal of brands associated with him.

Yeah well the crossover was a pretty fucking stupid idea to begin with.

A poor idea or poor execution? Seems to me from a marketing perspective, the Venn diagram of these two would overlap fairly well.

You mean the Venn diagram between poor ideas and ideas originating from marketing?

Will it be replaced with Gregor McChicken as the illusive target?

[–] xmunk 3 points 1 month ago

*elusive.

I think IoI has enough good will and cash to get a much better tie in.

Maybe stop shoving celebrities in to games

Am I the only one who finds the wording 'accused him of rape' very icky'

[–] Pika 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think they have it labeled that way, because he plans on appealing, so it's possible that the verdict isn't final. But yeah generally once you've been given a conviction the terminology changes

[–] Kellamity 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's probably because its a civil trial, not a criminal one. So he hasn't been 'convicted' - although personally it's more than enough evidence for me

oh yea i didn't notice that, yea that would be it for sure
