I'm sorry, I meant to apologize but it didn't come out that way...So I'm sorry I accidentally offended you, I definitely didn't mean to, & I hope you forgive me. Once again, my apologies.
"Hey I know that monkey! His name is Donkey!"
"Monkeys aren't Donkeys! Quit messing with my head!"
It was in character therefore it's not offensive. Is that what you're saying?
You say you understand yet fail to offer an apology. What you half heartily offer is to edit the word. If you understand, then why not edit the word on your on volition? Also why not apologize for using the word?
I understand you didn't mean to be offensive but that word is offensive.
Ahh, the life of a celebrity. Speaking of which, did we ever catch Donkey Kong's real name yet? Kinda hard to believe that a gorilla has "Donkey" as his real name, you know?
I understand, but keep in mind that the character is an uncaring, ethically-challenged agent in the '80s, before the PC age kicked in. I was just in character, & "trannies" sounded like something he'd say. And no disrespect to Birdo either. So I mean no offense to transexuals. However, if you really want, I suppose I can change it.
Would it hurt you to use transsexual instead of the offensive term you did use?
And before anyone says it's just a joke, yeah I get it's a joke but would it be any less funny with a word that isn't offensive to the people it describes. It was funny. I laughed but that doesn't make that word any less offensive.
Side note: I never played much of SMB2 but I read about Birdo who was male but wore a bow and wanted to be a girl in the manual. And even though I wasn't really sure why, I felt a little less alone in the world. Birdo was I think my first exposure to the idea of transsexualism. She is one of my favorite characters form video games.
I don't think so no, but it does sound a lot like him.
Was that David Cross doing the agent's voice?
A few years later:
"Hey Mario, sooo...Turns out as these ninja guys prove, people actually DO like turtles now, so we're kinda stuck between a rock & a hard place when it comes to that big sequel they're planning. But don't worry, I've got the answer: Location change. How do you feel aboooouuuttt...Some freaky Arabian dream world? In fact, how do you feel about a remake? Got just the material here. Bonus points: At one point, it deals with trannies. Super-serious stuff. We are talkin' record box office. Hell, they'll have to invent a whole friggin' new magazine just so they can give you a cover story. Win."
...Effin' hilarious video, Rob. XD
Awesome!
That was funny, i'm scared by the fire and ice condoms at the end tho....
Wonderful!
