I always find it interesting when an obscure, out of date joke finds it's way into a more mainstream publication. That, or pop culture has shifted to such an extent that geeky videogame jokes are now mainstream. Can MOK-KOS references be far behind?

Well, either the copy editor just wouldn't allow "are belong to U.S." or the guy flubbed up the joke.

Wow... that was lame... If it was a horse, we'd have to shoot it... I'm sure most of the people out there won't even get the joke.
Never underestimate the power of a crowd of stupid people...

Jesus, people, it was a well-done article about media bias and negligence. Just because he might not know who CATS is doesn't mean ya'll need to hold a coat hanger over a flame.

I didn't post the thread to mock the headline, rather I was amazed that something that I thought was fairly obscure was being used in a pun. The writer has my sympathy since he has to dream up a clever headline every day so it's not surprising that all of them aren't winners. But, still, who is the headline aimed at? Someone who is both interested in reading the article and aware of that whole "All Your Base" nonsense? If so, that means the headline was written with someone like me in mind. I'm honored, I guess.

I clicked this thread to mock the headline, but thankfully it was just a reference to an outside article. :) *Joins mob of nerd lynchers chasing Eric Umansky
