Whether you like it or not, the "fictional console" called Lamecube refers to a real console. The name itself is offensive, and it's even more offensive when you attach it to a kid's game.

Why not call the "fictional console" suX-box or PStupid2?

Anyway, because of all the recent console bashings in this forum, we made it clear that no console bashing will be allowed here, not even as a joke. If anything could be interpreted as console bashing, then it is console bashing.
