How about I overhear you talking about firing me, and we'll call it even.

If you've ever clicked through the webcomics linked to your left (my right) - and you really should have, because they're hilarious - you would hopefully have seen the fantabulously hilarious Mac Hall. I was very sad to see it end last year. But fear not, Matt is back, with the equally brilliant Three Panel Soul.

News enough in itself. But check this out. At the end of April, Matt was talking about buying a gun. He's in the States, where they do that kind of thing. They buy guns. Anyway, it's perfectly legal, and Matt was talking in his workplace about buying a .22 bolt-action rifle. He was talking about how that's a safer choice, because to really kill someone with it, you'd "practically have to put it in someone's face and pull the trigger". A colleague overheard the conversation, told management, and he was fired.

So, what the fuck? Sure wouldn't happen in New Zealand. Culture of fear, anyone?

God, I hate using the word "culture" like that. Everything's a culture these days. Culture of this. Culture of that. Anyway. Culture of fear, anyone?
