http://thehardtimes.net/harddrive/gamestop-employee-whips-back-room-failing-sell-pre-order/
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — GameStop sales representative Donald Simpson quietly walked to the employee breakroom and proceeded to whip himself after failing to convince a customer to pre-order Destiny 2 earlier today, according to close sources. It's rough out there for a GS employee. --- PSN: obsurdrandom ... Copied to Clipboard!

As much as I hate to see my employees hurt, I have no sympathy for anyone who screws up a pre-order,” said Weiss, wringing the bloody towel out into a garbage can. “Actually come to think of it, if him and his whole family died right this second I’d feel nothing for that subhuman monster. I mean, Jesus Christ, we even offered early beta access with the purchase. This kid is as worthless as these Game Informer magazines we can’t get rid of.

Last time I went into a Gamestop, I found nothing I wanted to buy. Then I went next door and made a $20 impulse buy at literal Office Depot, after resisting the urge to buy an awesome desk for $120.

What's sad is I literally live a couple miles from both the Gamestop stores in Binghamton and actually looked on a local news site before reading the article to see if it was real, because I ALMOST could have believed the story could have happened here.
That said, this isn't good satire --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why wouldn't you just read it? It's like a paragraph long and really obviously not real.

legolas0008 07/17/17 11:13:26 AM #31: |
Imo, the specific situation doesn't need to be realistic as long as the overall theme is close enough to reality, and this definitely was. Hell, I even get frustrated when satire is so believable that it furthers the agendas of stupid people who take it seriously.
