Sounds like someone might have some legal trouble in the future. LOL

C'mon somebody ... SCREENSHOT!

It was a bootleg GBA cart. The "F off and die" comment was on the boot screen. remember when you'd get a "cracked" game for your C64, and there would be a list of credits from those who cracked the game's original code? THAT'S where the F off and die comment was located.

The parents bought an illegal copy from some vendor. Ain't Disney's fault. That's like going to Blockbuster, renting Lion King, finding out someone dubbed homemade pron on the tape, then suing Disney. x_x

[Flack]

Awwwwwww. Well that ruins it. This was going to top the wienie in the background of Little Mermaid thing for me!

Check out snopes, which has a great list of some not-so-true and some can't-believe-it's-true things in Disney films.

I heard this story this morning and my first though was it cant be the real game but a bootleg. Good job by the parents who are going to be ending up looking like FOOLS. LOL

Eh I dunno about that. That story has the girl holding up the cart, which looks pretty real to me. Maybe the parents bought it at a flea market or something.

[Keir]

OK, somebody has to say it. They named their kids Beki and Jayms. Not Becky and James, BEKI and JAYMS.

[v1rich]

There is enough information in that article to identify the people.

Quote 1:
Beki Stewart

Quote 2:
Civil servant Mark, of North Shields, North Tyneside

He probably bought that stuff on Ebay. LOL

Here are some things I found out:

1. It Said


Mark, 32, had splashed out £200 on the game

Which means that they got it in England.

2. The pic has the US "Nintendo Seal of Quality"

Here is a pic of a game with the UK Seal of Quality:

3. It has an ESRB "E" logo on it

If they are in England, then it's an Import, or a
Pirate!

...and that's my 2 cents

[Sniderman]

Sweet Jesus, tell me that's a misprint...

200.00 United Kingdom Pounds = 376.89 United States Dollars

Heh - that's about 5 miles away from here :)

And is there any other source for this story? Call me a cynic, but I wouldn't wipe my arse with god-awful Murdoch rag 'The Sun', much less believe most of it's contents.

[badinsults]

Come on, it is The Sun. Do you really think they would have a proper journalistic report? It is like saying the National Enquirer is a good place to find information on current events.

[Cauterize]

LMFAO! You gotta love the Cracked intros on games, i first learnt the F-Word off a bootleg amiga game back in the day!

I don't know how you could tell from that distance. I have a bootleg Bubble Bobble Old and New and it's not apparent unless you look real closely at it.

Dad probably went import shopping on ebay and got ripped off.

[TheRedEye]

lol fark

[Menacer]

More games needs to say stuff like this. It'll get kids to go outside and be healthy or something.

Obviously this little girl already knew the F-word LOL



Upset ... Beki with the rude Disney game

That just cracks me up!

[hezeuschrist]

Man, that kicks so much ass.

[Famidrive-16]

It's a fake story, I believe.

Reading about cracked games, I remember reading one story from a guy who collected pirate games, got Super Mario RPG at a pawn shop, and when he encountered Smithy he said 'What the hell?', flipped the screen off, and the game reseted. Or something like that, anyways.

[esquire]

I love the hypocrisey of it all:

1. A parent upset at Disney because of his own stupidity in buying a pirated game. x_x

2. How does a 7 year old even know what the "f word" is to even be able to identify it as an offensive word to begin with? O_O

"Daddy what does f*ck mean?"

[Queen Of The Felines]

"Daddy what does f*ck mean?"

"Well Becki, when a man and a woman love each other very very much..."

[Querjek]

Perhaps they were just asking to be ripped off if they paid £200 for 2 SPs for little kids but one crappy game.

[vintagegamecrazy]

All I gotta say is SCREW YOU bootlegger of that kind of scum! :angry:

Gotta love naive parents though. LOL
