Blame George!

I got in trouble this morning.  The whole event actually inspired me to create a game, and to post it here, since apparently bashing certain creators of Star Wars who will at the present remain nameless is not Star Wars related (and since about half the threads in the General Star Wars Discussion forum largely center around some flaw of this nameless individual).  I'm digressing, as I so often do...

The game I am creating is called Blame George!  However, this is not limited to George Lucas.  George W. Bush is the cause of all bad things in the world today, even problems preexisting his birth.  Well, the same goes for George Lucas, who apparently ruined something we all cherish so dearly.  Heck the non-Americans and un-Americans can join in and blame King George III for allowing the American Revolution and now the most evil Empire ever!!!  Or George Washington, because his face is on the wicked dollar.  Or George of the Jungle for harming so many trees.  You see, you can blame George for anything, even if it was not his fault.  But it's especially nice to blame George Lucas.

So basically you understand the only rule: If you want to post in this forum, you must blame George for something, preferably giving some worthless justification.  If you don't, you end up in...purgatory, or Death Valley, or something like that.  I don't actually enforce rules, so whatever.

Example: Boy, those storms on the East Coast are getting out of hand.  You know, it's because George W. didn't sign the Kyoto treaty, and now we are paying the price.  It's climate change I tell ya! 

I blame George Harrison for not letting himself do more in The Beatles. He was awesome, never showed it.

Also, lol at this thread.

I'm sure a George was involved in the development of Stargate SG-1, which is a lamesauce spinoff of the much cooler movie, so I blame him.

I'd rather Blame Canada!

I blame George Lopez for not handling the George Lopez Show better. It started getting very awful toward the end, especially after the actress who played Carmen was fired. All the characters basically were no longer funny or interesting, come the last episodes.

I blame George Lopez for never being funny to start with...

Greenie, I am pretty sure Dav was saying that he thinks there should have been more than one Bond film with George Lazenby in it, hence the blaming him for only doing one.

but I get tired of all the endless praise on this site.  I mean I've never seen so many Kool-aid drinkers and gushers

you and I must be reading two different forums.

I blame George Romero for making a movie I didn't like one time... even though he's also made some of my favorite movies of all time and inspired my favorite books and comics, making my life better than it would have been without him.

Eff him.

George Costanza always screwed everything up.

Yeah, I blame you too.

I wish I could say this was made up, or even that the originator was joking, but I believe it was intended as truth.  When there was a big debate on what defines a planet, there were several potential new entries to the list.  When the IAU came out with its definition that excluded Pluto as well as the others on the list, many people were offended, including a columnist in the U of A newspaper (wish I could get access to the archives for you guys, but I can't figure it out.  Their names of other candidates included Xena and Charon.  The columnist was convinced that, and I'm quoting as best as I can remember, "In this era of Bush-dominated religious fanaticism, there is no room for a lesbian warrior or gods of the underworld in our solar system," or something like that.  Ridiculous!  George Bush and his open religious beliefs forced the International Astronomical Union (and Mr. Bush has always been popular among any international body) to remove any celestial body that might have a name offensive to Christians.  If you were disappointed with Pluto's demotion, blame George!

South Park makes it hard to forget.

I am currently studying psychiatric medications in my pharmacology class.  It makes me think of how many poor people in this world lost hope in humanity when George Lucas took a fantastic product and replaced it with the Star Wars we have today.  Do you all realize how antidepressants have been on the rise since 1997?  It's clearly because of George.

Damn George Peppard... I can never tell it's him no matter how poor the disguise.
