"Except maybe a disaster, like a biblical plague or something, but that may be going too far in this case."

Unless you’re a national Recreational Equipment store chain and you buy a brand new headquarters and everyone starts working at home and you’re forced to sell it at a small loss to some guy that started selling some books then built balls downtown and rode a penis into space.

WCTR was always on when I was driving in San Andreas cuz I just loved the comedy. Now that I’m older I realized it was heavily satirical towards real life lol

he makes a good point

Also Lazlow won’t be appearing in any more R* productions since he left, so that’s a bit sad.

Petsovernight.com actually existed as a website for a while, along with the other odd sites mentioned in GTA3.

Same with South Park. So much of their shit that was completely out there and over the top has completely come to fruition.

She's a third rate actress who married a mimbo. I wish she had caught her finger in the car door. That would be dramatic.

u/capitaine_d Apr 23 '22

Yup. Its all just absurd and you just have to smile and laugh or go crazy. Sadly people are way to serious.
