DS Scrabble Beats Kid On "F*ckers" Triple-Word Score

[NFS4]

HAHAHAHAAA

Well, if it isn't the Daily Mail, with another highly entertaining story about the EVILS and HORRORS of video games. In this instance, the evils and horrors of...Scrabble.

Yes, Scrabble. 36 year-old Tonya Carrington bought her son Ethan a pre-owned copy of Ubisoft's Scrabble for the DS, thinking it would keep him busy, maybe teach him a few new words.

Little did she suspect it'd proceed to kick his ass with a procession of slang words, from tits to toke to fuckers, which in a crushing blow to poor Ethan's self-esteem also gave his AI opponent a triple-word score for the win.

Cue Tonya protesting to filthy tabloid papers, cue Ubisoft proclaiming she should have used the game's junior settings, cue Nintendo washing their hands of the whole thing. Oh, and cue a sudden upswing in interest in the British version of Scrabble!

Who cares? How about instead of going crazy you just explain the word to the kid and why he shouldn't say it?

I always played with the rule: if it is in the dictionary we agreed on for the game, it counts as a word (provided it is not a proper noun or abbreviation).

Correct.

The word must be in the agreed upon dictionary, not be a proper noun, abbreviation, slang, and sometimes acronyms are banned as well (depends on the group though).

It is disgrace. This country is based on Christian principles and through these principles this country became prosperous. Why this country started hating itself? Who these modern politicians want to please by fighting Christianity? What is the ultimate aim of multiculturalism? We've had enough of this "modern" liberal nonsense.

Those aren't his words. It's taken word for word from a commenter in the comment section on the original story from the DailyMail.

He didn't say so in his post, so I assumed they were his words.

Whats funnier about that though is the guys name and country, but talks about "this country".
