To be honest, if my name was Dick Gaywood, I’d probably use anything BUT that as my gamertag anyway.
some moronic Live user complained that Richard Gaywood’s gamertag was sexual in nature.
Some Live gamer sitting in his parents basement who still giggles at the lingerie section of the department store ads complains that this is sexual in nature? What’s he know about sex? /sterotype
So what happens when Richard Slaughter signs up? He goingt to whine then too, must be a muslim! Hey, a new slang term! HAHA



JimK: The story: some moronic Live user complained that Richard Gaywood’s gamertag was sexual in nature. It’s not. It’s his frigging name. But OK, maybe some idiot first-level wageslave simply hits the “You must change your tag” button.
Fine. But to respond to further inquiry with this kind of corporatespeak nonsense?
That’s ridiculous.
Emily: Jim, his name is Dick Gaywood. Dick. Gaywood.
JimK: Well that’s true. It’s the kind of thing you’d think that some 12 year old kid would make up, pretending to be a gay porn star. Still, Microsoft has this guy’s credit card. They know it’s his name, and when faced with that simple fact, they still banned the tag, then re-affirmed that it will stay banned.
Emily: Dick. Gaywood. It could be worse, though. His parents could have had the surname Stinkpink and named him Phillip Thomas Hubert Edward.
JimK: Seriously? That’s your big joke? How the hell long did you work on “Phil T.H.E. Stinkpink?” Must have taken hours.
Emily: .0932 seconds, actually. As you people say, “I got it like that.”
