I suppose you can say this is in keeping with their entrepreneurial spirit.

Blackwater Gets Into The Retail And Merchandising Game

Don't know what gift to get for the paramilitary-enthusiast in your life? Look no further then the Blackwater proshop. That's right, Blackwater, also known as Xe, also known as the private military contracting outfit at the center of a number of controversies in Iraq and Afghanistan, is getting into the retail game.

Gosh Richie, what are you going to buy?

Myself, I've already ordered the self-waterboarding kit.

I hope you have as much success with reading the instructions for your autoerotic asphyxiation kit as you normally do comprehending my posts.

They have coffee cups. I might get a couple more as stocking stuffers.

I know Richie, your intellectual capacity is far too deep for me.

But maybe we can get matching coffee cups and share intimate moments online as we sip our Starbucks.

It's no worse on that level than all of the ridiculous schmutter Soldier Of Fortune sells, surely?

Kind of reaffirms that saying about there being no such thing as bad publicity.

I don't understand these games where you have to walk into the screen. In my day the screen was flat and you could only go up, down, left and right. With there being floating shelves that you could walk along. I see these games on TV and it seems like too much hard work.

FPS's are fucking difficult. I have no spatial awareness.

It was a magazine before the video game came out. Chuck Norris wannabes favoured read.

I like the framed picture of the three stooges from their full length feature "We Came, We Saw, We Fucked Up", (White House Productions, 2003).

I'm somewhat surprised they started work on this feature, produced almost entirely on location in Iraq, in the first place; I guess the budget overrun could be put down to the lack of an ending to the script when it was begun, but you'd think that might have been taken care of in advance rather than taking a "lets see how it pans out" approach.

And I'm very surprised to see it being offered by this particular corporation too. But then I guess there is a good business case for believing many in the US will buy anything.
