9. You mean you didn't enjoy a multi-national spec ops team mowing down radical environmentalists?
What's wrong with you? :P

And Rainbow 6 isn't about Seal Team Six, it's about the aforementioned multi-national special operations group which chases down liberals *Cough* Commies and environmentalists.

4. It's not about the mission, it's about the team. Geez. And it's very likely
it will be re-edited and re-written now.

This isn't that unusual for the publishing world.

5. All roads lead to The Simpsons...
At breakfast the next day, everyone holds "I Didn't Do It: the Bart Simpson Story."

Lisa: This biography of Bart came out awfully quickly. It's not even about him!

Bart: Sure it is! Look at the cover.

Lisa: But inside it's mostly about Ross Perot, and the last two chapters are excerpts from the Oliver North trial.

Homer: Ah, Oliver North. He was just _poured_ into that uniform.
