When an episode of Good Grief begins with a disclaimer reading: "I am NOT a Religious person, and I most certainly do NOT worship Satan." it's safe to say you're in for something special. A player's rant about the use of the number 666 in a gamertag alerts Crazy Filmmaker to someone who probably takes organized religion a bit too seriously, what follows is brilliant as Crazy announces "Satan is my brohan" and the "redneck" (CF's words not mine) shows some decidedly un-Christian sentiments towards homosexuals and African-Americans.
Not for the easily offended, but a perfect example of how online gaming enables right-wing and religious extremism to be voiced with little capable policing in place. In the end it is the annotation which flashes up about 5 minutes in which says it best: 'Thumbs up if you hate Racists and Homophobes". Good Grief doesn't always pick the most deserving targets, but when they do the battle of wills between the ignorant troglodytes and the savvy pranksters is always a treat, and the cavemen never win.
