McClane, could you get your hands on the Doom petition and change the title ?

Probably but the signatures would be full of comments like this:

Alastair Coldwell - This movie is an abhorration of the DOOM mythology. This will surely relegate the status of DOOM to nothing more than a husk of its former self. DOOM MARINE "Oh no! here comes a mutant zombie...... hold on isn't this the UAC." PINKY "No, its the umbrella corporation!"

Umbrella Corporation = "bad guys" in Resident Evil. Another bad bad movie.

H.C - If this movie goes through i'm going to **** kill you all, i'm going to KILL ALL YOU HOLLYWOOD FAGS!!! You deserve to DIE AND EAT SHIT, EAT SHIT FOR ALL ETERNITY!!!

They might get suspicious

we can tell them its Sligo Irish... they never read the comments

except for the last one... poor HC has issues

Get their cousins pregnant and drive around towns in their honda civics to black rap music.

In the South? I presume you mean Cork or Kerry or someplace? South is a very general direction.

However, we do have Buckfast in the 26 liberated counties of the island... Funnily enough I was introduced to it by a bunch of northerners that were over in Bundoran for May holiday weekend two years ago... We were there, very cold, surfing... doing the usual business.... and they came along with Buckfast. Bunch of weirdos.

South is a very specific direction but a very general and relative location. :wink:

in the six occupied counties we use free state and south when referring to the other twenty-six, and so Malin's Head the most northerly point in Ireland is in the South.

It's a common joke: "I resemble that remark".

Chlois mé "Poblacht na hÉireann" nó "Poblacht Dhaonlathacht na hÉireann." Nach bhfuil ceart acu?

South? You must mean France then.
