This is an interesting case on Philippine moral perspectives; or maybe just one lawyer and his client's stupidity.

Let me guess...

Kojima's founding of his own independent mercenary production studio was actually part of a Xanatos Gambit wherein he'd know that Konami would keep an eye on him, thereby making an opening for him to send a double/triple agent within Konami's ranks to destabilize the powerbase.

Several convoluted ruses, double-crosses, and reality-shattering revelations laters, BAM! He's now Big Boss!

It feels a little strange how CNN's been showing pictures of people celebrating in the US all day, given that someone just died. I totally get why some people would celebrate, but I'd feel more relieved that justice has been served, rather than wanting to go out somewhere to chant U-S-A U-S-A!! etc.


RE: Teh interesting news stub thread - Mjting - 05-03-2011

I was also curious as to why the reports said that the body was immediately buried in the sea. I don't buy it. I don't even buy that he's actually dead.If they wanna prove it, might as well show people the corpse or something. lol conspiracy.

A dissenting opinion is a welcome addition to any rational discussion. I never read the site myself but I'd assume "thinking freely" would equate to having a clear grasp of all the issues at hand given the situation.

By the way, the piece seems like satire. Read the last paragraph.
