Basically, anything the US media (TV or Hollywood) produces which can be described as "heartwarming" may be reliably assumed to cause vomiting, jeers, catcalls, violent incidents, and the possible call in of the SPG at showings in the UK.

*heartwarming*

Usually makes me gag too. I'm a bad American I guess :-)

SPG?

Special Patrol Group maybe?

Special Police Group.

They were actually disbanded in the mid-80's for being far too violent, but the acronym just seemed to flow in the context of that sentence.

Do you need any smug & patronising British NPCs for the ICC? (Assuming I'm there, consider it 50/50 at the moment).

I'm sure we could find one for you :-)

Hmmmmm... Maybe we could use an archon NPC for Mr. Q. Talk to Dan (sithtremere@nyctophobia.com)
