Final Fantasy VII banned

[Buccura]

Yep, first GTA:SA now FFVII because it depicts terrorist actions. Now the game that over 90% of America owns is banned in an effort to prevent people's minds from being corrupt and not destroy power plants and summoning demons and using magic to do your bidding. Theres also a rave about Tifa's breasts causing problems.

[Rengori]

That's just fucked up. It brings a tear to my eye seeing this happen to on of my favorite games...

[°¿°¿°]

what?!?!? is this thing for real? :cry: that means soon they will try to ban the making of rpgs with magic and stuff all together

[Rengori]

And yet Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and the rest of the Final Fantasies are all still legal (good thing I bought 4 today). And, your spelling and grammar have improved.

[°¿°¿°]

ummmm, ty i guess lol and thats stupid they ban ff7 the first ff i ever played and one of my favorites. :(

[Buccura]

Read the very bottom of the article.

[Rengori]

Thank you Raven Nox, for showing how asinine the government can be.

[Raven Nox]

XD Oh, ok. I took it seriously, that was stupid. But, it's not even funny, they've been doing to much, and I'm sure if some mentioned it, they actually WOULD do it.

I deleted that thing, becuase normally, I read all of these things, but I didn't this time and went off at it, the fact that they made it isn't funny, but the government is doing stupid things like this, the way it was worded, however, was hilarous.

[°¿°¿°]

>< polititions these days sigh they take away our video games because they dont like them =( pretty soon video game companies are gonna have to start paying the goverment of to alow them to sell there stuff like tobacco and alchol companies...

[Rengori]

I say we just sue the government for trying break the freedom of speech act, freedom of religion act, and just for being stupid.

[Buccura]

Again read the bottom

ahh this is classic xD

[°¿°¿°]

yea there prolly gonna try converting to commies i think it was russia that said america is in the same stages that it was before it became comuinist but then evry1 in america would like raid the goverment

[nik0tine]

Does anybody else realize that this is a joke? First of all, when did somebody try to blow up a nuclear power plant? I've yet to hear about this.

Second of all "Mario was not available for comment" as well as "Tifa's breasts were not available for comment" pretty much prove this to be a joke, and it's a slightly funny one at that!

[Raven Nox]

Yeah, I'm really stupid today. XD I normally notice if it's a joke, but I didn't this one, though, yes, I was wondering about those two lines. XD

[°¿°¿°]

NO IT CANT BE!!!!! THE GOVERMENT WANTS US TO KIL LOUR PARENTS TO!!?!?!? AHHHHHHHHHHH lol j/k yea i just realized that part lol....

[Buccura]

Ahh that was fun. I do admit I thought it was real when I first saw it xD

[nik0tine]

I thought it was real until I actaully read it. It did surprise me that it was on CNN.com though.

[°¿°¿°]

yea i didnt really pay attension to the details of it i jsut saw cnn on the top and assumed it was real lol

[Rengori]

Aw, :love: :love: :love: :love: .

[nik0tine]

All of your initial reactions to this were pretty damn funny. :p

[°¿°¿°]

yea they were lol

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

This was almost as good as the Weekend Web on that forum where the people thought Bush had banned anime.

[°¿°¿°]

WHAT!!?!?!? BUSH BANNED ANIME?!?!?? o srry it was just o joke

[Mercen-X]

I knew it was a joke simply by the title of this thread. I read the article to make sure and immediately started laughing at the terrorist hacker's alias: Frootloops.

Yeah. Mario and Tifa's breasts were not available for comment. I had never been so happy to see an article stating that FFVII had been banned.


Kill your parents

[Buccura]

This was almost as good as the Weekend Web on that forum where the people thought Bush had banned anime.

I would pay good many to see people's reactions to it.

It's like those 'BBC news' fakes. Excellent job by the perpertrators, very funny article.

[Dreddz]

Its banning will just get people to want it more

[Lenna]

This is funny. If it was real they should have mentioned that they pulled all the FF Games off the shelves. Cause every ff game has some sort of law broken xD haha.

I'm still surprised that it's still on sale, as over here in every shop I've looked in hasn't got it on the shelf. The only way I'm going to get the games again are by ordering off Amazon (or another online site)

I need them again in perfect condition xD (I've got all from 1 - 10-2 but I want 7, 8, and 9 again as they have scratches on them from my little sister taking them. So I want them in brill condition so I can play them without interruptions in the FMV's)

Brilliant joke though.

[DragonTU84]

Hahaha, I must say that was pretty hilarious! :lol: I must say I was getting to the point of getting VERY upset at the government when I first thought it was a real article. I was also relieved that I already had a still mint-condition copy! :p

[Cruise Control]

XD You fell for it, someone should make a Bush shuts down evil site (EoFF) article, and replace the main page with it!

[spartancode117]

thats frigging outrageous! i cant tell you how pissed i am! :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

Yeah, its so outrageous! Almost like it's a joke! OMG!i didnt read the whole article cuz i was so ticked. then i read everyone elses posts and realized, 'its a "joke"'.. thats funny but im still kinda pissed. :mad2: :eek: :D but seriouusly, it had me going.

[TheAbominatrix]

xD It got me too.

[DragonTU84]

XD You fell for it, someone should make a Bush shuts down evil site (EoFF) article, and replace the main page with it!
Hehe...yeah I know...I guess I'm just a sucker. :riiight: :sweatdrop

Lol, that would be hilarious though if they made a fake site saying that Bush shut down EoFF because "it promoted the discussion and obsession of Final Fantasy games." :p

Tifa's breasts O

*signs up*
Yeah, really. :(

I can't believe anyone thought that was serious. There were so many things that just bleeded "joke" that I wouldn't be surprised if the next article is about something to do with the widespread worry about how gullible today's youth have become.

[TheAbominatrix]

Well the beginning of it sounds serious. It quickly became apparant that it wasnt, but the beginning seems legit. To me at least.

[Lenna]

Like how gulliable you are BoB? :P

You probably thought it was real teehee!! YOU'RE OLD THOUGH! :p

[Kakashi509]

I kneww it was a joke when I read this: Tifa's breasts were unavailible for comment.

[DragonTU84]

Hehehe, here is something you all might enjoy! :p

Bush: "I hearby came to the conclusion to banish all versions of Final Fantasy VII off of the shelves, since it has been corrupting the minds of our 'young people' to engage in acts of violence!"

[Christmas]

I do believe it in the first part though, but the later part give it away.

[Loony BoB]

I knew it was a joke from the moment I saw it being hosted in a folder called 'cnn' on some random person's website. That, you know, wasn't cnn.com.

[TheAbominatrix]

I didnt check the address. Never do at first.

[Loony BoB]

But you don't need to check it! It's written out in the post! You don't really need to read it to see the url doesn't start with cnn.com :(

[TheAbominatrix]

Yes, but I dont expect it to be from cnn.com when I open it. I open the thread, tab the link, and go about the rest of my surfing before I get to it. If the post had said 'check out this article from CNN', that'd be different. As it is, it's just a link, for all I know to a random site talking about the incident and referencing CNN.

[Loony BoB]

That just happens to have "CNN" plastered all over it? xD I guess you don't visit CNN very often.

:smash:

[TheAbominatrix]

No, I mean the url. As I said, I dont look at the page right away. I tab it and come back to it, so by that time I've completly forgotten the specifics of the url I clicked on, so I assume it was simply CNN.com to begin with.

[Rengori]

It got me going for a while as you can see. I just skimmed through it. Oh well. :D

i can just imagine the president talking infront of a live audience saying "FF& banned blah blah boobs too big blahblah blah blah im a perv blah titties."i knew i shouldnt trust politicians.

[Spiffing Cheese]

Ha. xD

[-N-]

You fscking idiot; look at the goddamn URL first. :rolleyes2

[General-Beatrix]

:mad2: HOW CAN THEY even THINK of banning FF7. Oh and by the way, the summons are NOT monsters. That would be calling Shiva or Chocobo's and Mog monsters! Besides, did the government even played FF7? Cause if they did they would already know about the plot and why. I'm happy i already have my copy. If you never experienced the game before then i suggest you hurry to ebay. :mad2:

EDIT: oh god i think i'm tricked!

[NexusStripe]

That cant be true. Final fantasy 7 IS my favorite game. God! WHy would it ever be banned. If any were to be banned it should be X-2 for how horrible the idea was for Yuna to be a frickin pop singer. GYAAAAAAAA

[Kittay]

HAHAHA

so great.

[General-Beatrix]

That cant be true. Final fantasy 7 IS my favorite game. God! WHy would it ever be banned. If any were to be banned it should be X-2 for how horrible the idea was for Yuna to be a frickin pop singer. GYAAAAAAAA

SPOILER! SPOILER! READ THIS IF YOU ARE NExusStripe! It's not real it's a joke! :tongue:

[°¿°¿°]

hmm this thing is still tricking people? lol it tricked me to =(

[Fonzie]

Well i'm going to bomb some places see you guys later....

[Rengori]

xD :lol:

[Shoden]

hahaha:lol:hahaha

[silentenigma]

clever, very clever...

[Shoden]

i'm going to mug the people who made that

[Rengori]

Do you have the correct materia?

[Shoden]

why of course i know how to steal anyway it runs in my eoff ness

[fantasyjunkie]

Oh man, it had me going big time lol. Then I read a post by someome saying "read the bottom". I just started laughing. But man, my blood was boiling for a few seconds!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

[Shoeberto]

I knew it was a joke from the moment I saw it being hosted in a folder called 'cnn' on some random person's website. That, you know, wasn't cnn.com.
Yeah. I haven't even read the article yet. I'm too busy laughing at people that, after three pages of people saying it's a joke, still think it's serious. Comedy goldmine right here.

[DragonTU84]

I must say that whoever created that site with that fake article did a GREAT job ripping off of CNN's website! It really pissed me off though at first when I thought it was real! I think I will join you, Shoden, in mugging the people who made that site! :p Let me get my KOTR materia equipped, and I should be set!! :shoot:

[Buccura]

Mug materia. BAH, a REAL thief doesn't need no materia to get what he wants xP

[Destai]

I didnt think it was real but admittedly I was thrown when I saw the CNN logo.

[Rengori]

Mug materia. BAH, a REAL thief doesn't need no materia to get what he wants xP
Steal materia.

[Mercen-X]

Yeah. I haven't even read the article yet. I'm too busy laughing at people that, after three pages of people saying it's a joke, still think it's serious. Comedy goldmine right here.
Just goes to show how lazy the majority of the members of Eyes On really are. Instead of reading through the thread (or paying attention to detail), they simply "Add Reply" their valueless two-cents while unavoidably making dorks of themselves.
You know, copying GTA's thread title would have made this joke more convincing. If they're only re-rating GTA, there's no way in F that they'd BAN FF7. Geez, get a brain.

[Rengori]

I'm a jackass according to you then.

[Mercen-X]

:eyebrow:

[Silver Valentines]

that was...weird, good joke I guess

[Xaven]

That's funny.

[0mNiS|aSh]

I can't believe anyone thought that was serious. There were so many things that just bleeded "joke" that I wouldn't be surprised if the next article is about something to do with the widespread worry about how gullible today's youth have become.


I believe it's more a case of politicians blaming their /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif on so many stupid little things, that something like this doesn't strike us as being a joke anymore.

[ScottNUMBERS]

"Final Fantasy VII is an awful game" <----I think they took the joke a little too far. :mad2:

[TheAbominatrix]

How dare someone insult that game. They should be shot.

[0mNiS|aSh]

Indeed. Because OUR opinions are the only opinions in the world that REALLY matter!

*invades france*

[TheAbominatrix]

Damn right!

*invades Poland*

[Winter Nights]

Mm.. Roffles. That was pretty funny.

[Shoden]

i'm going to kill them for that!

*invades w/e*

[kawaiileena]

:eek: Omg! I thought it was real at first, good thing it was only a joke. A very stupid but amusing joke. It almost got me! I was like, "What the heck -? Bush is banning FFVII? Soon, GMA might also ban playstation!"

PS: Oh yeah, GMA is our president. You wouldn't want to know the meaning of the acronyms XD

[Ageless_Bum]

The joke: (entertaining without a doubt)
The consequeces: Im sure you didnt mean to start a politcal topic thread in a gaming forum that is supposed to be fun.
The end result: I laughed, I yawned, I felt like going to sleep (and i will)

But i do agree that the perpitrator of this little joke was quite skilled in his endeavor

[Rase]

I find this thread much more funny then the actual page itself.

[Lord Magician]

Call me slow if you want but, today I learn of this. So is it 100% true or false? Cause I see it like 50% jokes and 50% true. :mad:
Just want to make this sure once in for all. :mad:

[0mNiS|aSh]

Look at the URL, then click a link anywhere at the site, and look at the URL again.

Nuff said.

Also...

Kill your parents

[Erdrick Holmes]

As funny as that may be, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually happened.

[Zyx]

Heh, I thought it was real. Even after reading the Mario and Tifa comments I still thought it was real. I just thought that the person who wrote the article was in shock of the decision and decided to show how utterly stupid it would is. But what really had me sold on its validity was when they said that a chemical plant exploded in Fort Worth. A chemical plant did explode in Fort Worth. I live in Fort Worth, and the time of the article does match with the time of the explosion. I finally realized it was a joke, though, when the everyone was talking about the url. Now I just feel like a dumbass.

[rcabronx]

the mispelling of unavailable at the bottom proved it was a joke to me...

proofreader man....

[G SpOtZ]

the sad thing is, she (rcabronx) couldn't figure it out before it said that. LOL just kiddin bronx XD

i figured it out from the tifas boobs part. i was suspicious of it being fake the whole time tho, especially because of the homepage title.

[sephiroth the dark angel]

i don't think they would ban ff cose of tyfa's boobs best they could do is put a 18 over rating on the movie but it was a funny joke after all

[fantasyjunkie]

Well I'll admit it had me hook line and sinker until I started reading the other posts :D

[ultima88]

As funny as that may be, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually happened.

yeh i know i hate this bloody stupidly ultra politically correct society we live in to day
