Did she listen when you told her she was wrong, or did she stay oblivious? She must have either read that article or seen the Fox News thing.soren7550 said:

My parents got mad at me one time and said no gameboy for a week. I didn't care because when they yelled at me for playing my DS, I would say its not my gameboy. Its a DS
My parents don't do that (thank god) but a lot of people on the internet do.
My inner spellchecker wants to throttle anyone who says 'Pokemans'.

If I may paraphrase a certain internet critic:
"Why do they call it Pokemon? Nobody knows what a Pokemon is! It sounds like something a Jamaican shouts out when he wants to play cards! ''Ey! Would you like to play some pokeh, mon?'"

And now its 667. Nice way to ruin it. Would have loved taking a screenshot, but nooo, you had to go and post one more thing.ZeroMachine said:
This small child at Wal-Mart was reading the cover of the boxes, and kept mispronouncing Poke'mon. I wanted to beat him for some reason, but that happens every time I go to Wal-Mart, you know?
I always called my gamecube my little purple lunchbox of disappointment.... and disappointing it was... i waited five motherfucking hours outside of target to get one on the first day it came out... yeah... not worth it...
"Dont you have that Gay Ninja game allready"
"Mom, first of all its Ninja Gaiden, and this is the sequel to that one"

It used to be that every game system was to be referred to as Nintendo. Then eventually "Box." Now it's just either "shit" or "stuff."
yea, i got that too, my parents arent as bad, but my grandparents terrible, they say pokemans, gameboy when its realy a DS, or my PS2 or gamecube or wii as "your gamething".
whenever i got to my grandparents house, i play my games on thier computer (i installed my orangebox). and i ALWAYS have to defrag thier computer whenever im there and clean up all the doubble or tripple copies of photos because they keep copying thier photo folder by mistake. and one more thing, once when i opened up the internet explorer on thier computer, i clicked the shortcut in the start menu, then grandma shouted "dont do that! i would prefer that you used the other one on the screen!(reffering to the desktop shortcut)" then i said "they are exactly the same thing!" then she said "oh". i dont think they should have a computer if they dont know how to use it.

I was actually talking about the woman who 'reported' this 'news', but a lot of people did send masses of angry e-mails and corrections to her. Eventually, she apologized to BioWare, but most believe she only did that because people were giving her book horrible reviews and were 'stating falsehoods' despite the fact that most of them never read it.orannis62 said:
Oh, I thought you meant that you met someone who did that. Yeah, according to Cooper (who was just a guest on fox, she wasn't reporting it), she was literally only told what they were discussing 5 minutes before, and when she asked about it, she was told Mass Effect was a "porn simulator". Afterward, she watched someone play it, including the sex scene, and apologized.soren7550 said:
I always found the "pokeman" thing amusing. Clears the way for a comment about my "merry sextet of pokemen." But I always correct people, it's a habit.
All my relatives used to call my Zune an iPod, to which I would respond: "It's a Zune, it's exactly like an iPod except it has this thing *gestures to squircle* an it's cheaper." Now just my extended family does.
