But That’s My Name!

I just caught this story on my Twitter wire, and had to share.

If you have the word ‘gay’ in your Xbox 360 gamertag, you may be next in line for a trip to Bansville if Microsoft get its way.

Reports claim that the big ‘M’ has banned the gamertag ‘theGAYERgamer’ due to the homosexual reference. But check this out, even worse than that is that it also banned the gamertag Richard Gaywood, who is actually and rather unfortunately a real name.(We kid you not).

We’re assured that Dick Gaywood is also a straight, women-loving guy who just happens to have a ‘gay’ sounding name. Poor chap.

From Hexus.

Yeah, like it’s not rough enough being named Dick Gaywood, and now that poor guy’s got XBox Live picking on him.
