Kojima cryptically gives opinion on Obama's Nobel Prize

You'll probably be among the first to die.

better start preppin our boomsticks.

I already named mah boomstick Darlene, and I had sex with her last night.


When the zombie pocalypse coms, I gun be ready.

Ever watch people watching American Idol/X Factor? The virus is already here, so get your saw off shotguns and baseball bats ready. We're heading to the mountains to hole up til it's over!

don't forget to pack some crackers n' tuna for us to eat! cheez its too.

i agree, I feel as if I am not using my animal instincts,

2012, I hope

The first ones to go were the fatties.

I honestly wonder...

You know how at the beginning of the Metal Gear games when it says how if any of this is true, it's a coincidence? What if Hideo Kojima is actually from the future and is using future events to create one of the most successful video game franchises that keeps going from exclusive to multi-platform?

God, I'm really paraniod, aren't I?

Bobby, you should ask him how the gaming industry looks in that future. That way we can end the 'Dreamcast 2!" debacle once and for all!

i just wanna get laid, but i'm too young...and 2012 will pass before i turn 18...i'm sad...

Don't worry. Elijah Wood wasn't 18 in Deep Impact and no one cared they got married. You'll have time.

Meh who cares about legality anyway.

It's okay sony boy, in other six years you'll be working at a toy store scoring cougars left and right.

There's no legal age to have sex. I did it when I was 15. Well if you're under 18 and having sex with someone over 18 then that's illegal, I think. Don't worry sony boy it's not that long, well unless you're ugly.

Now back on topic. WHAT? Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize? How?

sony boy, you can do it now. just make sure the girl is older than you, and that you make it look like you were being forced to do it if you get caught.

I agree with Sly. Do it now.

I finally figured out how Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, he isn't Bush.

Hmmm I don't know...
A Bowlfex CAN do quite a few things...
Tough choice...

Yeah, I'll agree with you on that one. Pretty good mixture of reality and fantasy.

That means I completed the quest... now, what was it that you needed? Boar intestines? Spider legs?

No kidding. Clinton did far far more for World Peace that Obama has ever done. Troop counts in Afganistan or Iraq aren't exactly going down all that quick*

*if at all.

iTS Europe trying to stop afghan governement and let taliban take over.

Prize is telling Obama you have cover to pull out now.

I think he won because he isn't Dubya. More than anything this was the committee saying they want to help push his foreign policy objectives than for an actual accomplishment.

"Clinton did far far more for World Peace that Obama has ever done. "

Yeah, bombing the Al-Shifa factory in Sudan to distract the public from the Lewinsky scandal was a very noble and peaceful act. We should all spire to acts of dramatic violence to hide our failings.

Seems to be a question nobody except the Nobel committee actually has the answer to.

I consider myself to be a pretty liberal guy and even I can't give a good reason as to why he deserves it.

And as for Kojima, what?

You want the real reason? Our politicians (in Norway) wants him to visit because he visited Denmark not long ago, which made them a bit jealous.

And I'm sure if Obama actually asks our prime minister to kiss his ass on live television, our PM will get down on his knees and kiss Obamas ass... on television.

It's mostly for his nonproliferation work.

Obama and Dick Lugar had a pretty well-known piece of legislation in the Senate:

Obama also sat down with the Russian president to hammer out an outline to a new treaty:

And Obama led the U.N. Security Council when they adopted a nonproliferation resolution.

That stuff, combined with his widely-publicized speech about nuclear arms in Prague is the bulk of what the award is for.

There's also his outreach to the Muslim world, which has been a notable bit of diplomacy.

And there's also the fact that Obama is not Bush, which is helping Obama quite a bit internationally.

What you all fail to understand is that the Nobel committee has a time machine, and that they award the Nobel prize based on future deeds. For instance, in the year 2024, Teddy Roosevelt will rise from the grave and defeat the forces of Robo-Hitler, ending WWIII and saving humanity. For this future act of heroism, he was given the Nobel prize in 1906.

Just wait a few hundred years, and we'll know why they awarded this years medal.

its true^ believe it or not Al Gore won one because it turned out there was such a thing as Manbearpig

He won it because he's turning the US into the personal sex slave of Mother Russia. Them Europeans like their porn.

Obama himself admitted he didn't feel he was deserving of the award. The guy is damned if he do and damned if he don't with a large portion of our Country and to an equally large portion he can do no wrong. I wish more people were somewhere in the middle and saw this for what it was ... he gets the Peace Prize for trying to usher in a new era of diplomacy and he isn't Bush. Period.

This is just as much a political statement by the committee as it is anything else. It is what it is and our country is so busy fighting and arguing about the shit that doesn't actually matter (like this) that we are distracted from the whats really happening. America is crumbling literally and figuratively.

I think the hardcore ideological conservatives feel Bush got some kind of slight in office and are taking out that agression on Obama. It's sad the Republican party is little more than a shell of it's former self and is really become nothing more than the conservative wing of the democratic party.

The Left has pretty much been taken over by a vocal minority of extremely hardcore activist esque ideologically driven liberals. They seem to be driven by this passion to prove how much they AREN'T conservative and as such have really went out of their way to push agendas that aren't necessarily in the best interest of the citizens.

Basically the Conservative party is driven by Big Oil & The Military Industrial Complex where as the Democratic party is driven by wall street financiers.

Thats my take anyway ...

His accomplishment is that he's not George Bush.

The Norwegians are thanking him for that.

As we all should!

Basically the award was for the 60 odd million people who voted for him. And because while he hasn't done much yet, the way he's doing things is much more peaceful.

We're basically rewarding you for not being assholes. It's like when the disruptive kid at school gets an apple for just sitting quietly. ;-)

99.999999998333% of the world isn't Bush. Does that mean the other 5,999,999,999 are all deserving of a Nobel prize?

I'll keep it super simple and just mention a smidgen so it should be real easy for you to digest it.

He eliminated that useless term "The War on Terror".

If you got through that without getting indigestion he also prohibited the use of torture.

Now the list is long (he actually wants a nuclear weapon-free world) so if you are hungry for more just ask.

Obama is a pretty cool guy eh,brings peace and doesn't afraid of anything.

@X-singular

You're doing it wrong
