Is this a thing in Massachusetts? I worked at various fast food joins in high school and our managers would never walk out and confront suspected drug dealers. They'd either ignore them or call the cops if it was a repeat thing.

Massachusetts McDonalds didn't bat an eye when Jace and Tyce walked in there in-character and started arguing about jenkem.
 
That Burger King manager's name? Albert Einstein. Then everyone in the parking lot stood up and clapped.

how retarded do you have to be to put "moldable glue", as sugru proudly calls itself, in your ear canal... thats literal preschooler behavior

Well, Wu has make believe friends/employees and also plays with Barbie dolls. No word on if she has a safety helmet or not.
 
I'm willing to bet that John recently watched Heroin: Cape Cod, USA, where a drug dealer hangs out in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot waiting for a deal.

There is no business manager that would tell developmentally stunted adults playing vidya in their parking lot that they suspected them of dealing drugs. You lose customers that way. And John wasn't indignant about being accused of dealing drugs. He gets pissed off if you correct his spelling mistakes.

That and he was what, sitting in the car the whole time? I'm pretty sure you have to get out of your car to play that game.

No this was one of those "hah hah wouldn't it be funny if" things that turned quickly into a real life Wustory tweet.

I like the idea that Wu's voice will go so low it sounds like he is possessed by a demonic spirit. With that snarl face, sand Google attitude and ipad flinging rage its bound to scare the shit out of a few people.

I seriously hope it would turn out like this.

The thing about making a parody game is:

The best way to do it is make it sorta subtle, so everyone will get the alusion but make it vague enough that it's not "quite there". The game can be as offensive and vile as it wants to, but as long as it's not called for instance "The Brianna Wu Story" / "John Walker Flynt simulator", BriBri will be in a predicament:
In order to fight against the game, she'd have to admit that it's about her. So it might spread and (almost openly) ridicule her, but she is powerless to do anything against it, without aknowledging that it's about her.

Make a game called "Fuck Up Quest" where the protagonist John has to screw up everything that is set up for him.
First you have to ruin 2 college degrees, then you have to screw up an independent animation company funded by your parents, and so on. Reference the shit that WuWu tries to hide anyway, so she can't call the game out without admiting this all refers to her.

Just imagine how she'd be boiling with incoherent, impotent rage as that game is spread around the internet. I'd shit myself if there was a game like that, that actually made it through the Steam Greenlight process.

I do not blame anyone who makes the assumption that drugs are involved when they see a giant she-thing and a tiny autistic asian hobbit parked in the parking lot of a Burger King.

And I bet the manager switched his mind, changing from something involving prostitution to drugs shortly before he reached the car and directly after he got his first glimpse of Screaming Frank and Snarling Flynt.

What level of self-awareness is required to post this photo non-ironically?

Why not shell out for some decent headphones if you're dropping $700 or whatever on a phone?

John apparently has a pair of Etymotic headphones. I know this because when he had a problem with the wires fraying -- because he would wear them to sleep in order to drown out the sound of Frank's snoring -- he made the matter public by engaging them on Twitter. Etymotic's are actually some of the best earbuds currently made and when worn properly provide about -35Db reduction in outside sound. The seal is about as good as you are going to get, without going down the route of getting custom fit. The higher end ($250) ones even have two distinct drivers for high and low frequency.

In comparison, the standard Apple earbuds are fucking garbage. While they look sleek, the design really isn't conducive things like good sound, or even staying put in your ear. While I expect the wireless ones to be better, I imagine they will offer similar audio quality simply delivered wirelessly.

Prediction: John will of course buy the wireless ones and then, despite them not being that great, will find a way to rationalize their flaws and then go on Twitter in full Apple apologist mode to rant about how overblown complaints are, and block anyone who disagrees.

...and shortly after Wu will praise the next dumb idea Apple comes up with.

OT: No matter which earbuds I buy they always go to shit in less then half a year. Cable tearing at the jack or inside the phones, different volumes on each side and so on - no matter how expensive they are. At one point I just started using those Sony headphones you can buy for 20 bucks on Amazon. If you take care they that the cable doesn't twist ( by pulling the end through the cable joint ) you should have better sound quality for less money and a lower risk of damaging your ears with loud music.

I get the impression John is the kind of guy who ate library paste in school.
