Random Rants XXXVII: The Server Is Too Busy

[Takhisis]

Fake sport, you colonial? Oh no you didn't.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

Like "American" football is a "real" sport anyway.

You take that back, you!

American Football IS a real sport!

 

[rugbyLEAGUEfan]

You take that back, you!

American Football IS a real sport!

And significantly better than the silly rugby union game they like

 

[azzaman333]

You take that back, you!

American Football IS a real sport!

Yeah. It's real boring. 75% of the time spent watching there's literally nothing happening.

 

[bhsup]

Those are called commercials, Azza. You have to wait for them to end before the game resumes.

If anything, that makes it worse. Even cricket isn't that bad.

 

[Takhisis]

So they really don't play because they're showing commercials? Here I was thinking that it was because the game itself was so boring.

 

[bhsup]

Ha. No. Football games should not take 3+ hours. That's because of the built-in commercial breaks.

 

[rugbyLEAGUEfan]

Guys this whole "stoppages in play" argument is ridiculous . Cricket , which I absolutely love , has a huge amount of downtime . Rugby union which I'm meh about does too .

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

Here's an idea.

Ban commercials.

Problem solved.

 

[_random_]

Then there's nobody to pay for football, and football can't happen, and Cincinnati will never win a Super Bowl. Can you see how that's a problem?

Cricket is the most boring sport in the world - Just a load of guys standing around while one of them tries to hit a ball with a weirdly-shaped bat and runs around, while using a scoring system that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and rules which sound like they were made by a lunatic.

The commercials themselves would be infinitely more interesting than watching the cricket.

 

[Takhisis]

I disagree with your attitude, old chap, that's not cricket, what?

 

[Synobun]

She got the letter. Her reaction was to seek out my only friend and berate him.

... What?

You do realise you could have an equally ignorant and dismissive description of every sport, right?

 

[Skwink]

Gah my phone sucks. I need an iPhone!

 

[azzaman333]

Gah my phone sucks. I need an iPhone!

But iPhones suck.

 

[Tee Kay]

You don't need an iPhone. You want an iPhone.

 

[rugbyLEAGUEfan]

But iPhones suck.

Hyperbole ? I mean what a terribly designed , utterly useless device that is universally loathed
