Well, not so much an expose' as a series of posts on a blog, BUT some of this is unbelievable!

Unbelivable...

This is the funniest thing I've seen all year. Where did they find these rip-off merchants? Absolutely scandalous, yet incredibly amusing. I think it just goes to show how gullible people are when they buy these things. The con artist wouldn't be trying if some people didn't "bite" so to speak. £1,000,000 , I just know some spoiled piece of crap is going to be bugging his parents for that until he gets it........ and he will. Another reason to hate the UK.

Its ridiculous.  Its just boggles my mind that the MSRP for the Wii in the US was $250 (though supposedly thats also since been inflated here), but its selling in high street shoppes in the UK for 280... STERLING!  Insane!!  Though I suppose thats a bargain for 1m sterling console, eh?

Well, the fact it was £200 on launch day says a lot. The amount of tax is astronomical in the UK in particular. I really mean it when I say that you guys, in the states, have it much better/easier than we do, in Europe, I'm saying that because I believe it's true.

I'm part irish myself, but the typical irishman jokes don't offend me. Why does it not surprise me when stereotypical irish guy sells Wii for £1,000,000! Sounds like a deal and a half!

Brawl is probably (I'm guessing) going to get a May release at earliest, but that's still roughly 3 months behind the states. People keep saying a delay hasn't been announced, what they forget is a delay hasn't been denied and Brawl has not been announced on either the Q1 or Q2 provisional release lists yet Mario Kart is. Methinks NoE are prepping for a humongous let-down. No amount of smoke and mirrors (new-flashy site/star points to wii points) is going to either cover-up or soften the blow of another delay for Brawl.

I don't know. Why is that?

Are you waiting for a punchline or being serious? Anyway, you should really look for more Irish jokes if you're being serious. If you ARE looking for a punchline, then I'm afraid I just can't think of one at the moment. Honestly (-_-)

I'm curious as to what the stereotype you have in mind is.

How do you keep an Irishman busy all day?

Write P.T.O on both sides of a piece of paper.

I could tell some more or maybe some IRA gags next. That last one was the oldest joke in the book. (^o^)

If you're easily offended (not that you should be) then it's probably best not to take this seriously. I seem to be a magnet for trouble

Being Irish, it's hard to be anything else given the circumstances. I still don't get the connection to the Wii auction though, which is what got me curious as to what a 'stereotypical' Irishman is.

.

Yeah, and......

My granddad is Irish, if you don't happen to know the implications of the stereotype then I will not spell it out for you. Find out yourself, I've caught enough heat on these forums as it is.

I'm always cautious around these forums (<_<) (>_>) (0_0) *disappears*

If my granddad was black, would it be okay to throw around racist jokes?

Why don't you just ask Chris Rock?
