There was something similar in the news recently, something like a teacher had a "pimp my chalkboard" day or whatever at a school, and of course some people don't understand this use of "pimp" and got all offended. The most amusing part of things such as this are the parents who think their kids wouldn't be exposed to this use of the word, much less the word in general, otherwise.

As far as warforged players, oh yeah, some of them on the main forums seem to be completely off their rocker. There was a guy on there last year who posted all the time and took great offense at pretty much everything in the game deeming it all "warforged racism." Things such as warforged not getting this or that immunity, etc. He seriously equated it to real-life racism due to skin color.

People are stupid

I think that says it all.

 

The first rule is people believe what they want to believe. Not people are stupid.
