Monday
I first wondered whether this story was a spoof, but it appears not to be so.
The CIA do this already, it was on Stargate Universe, it must be true.

I don't find that odd at all. What else were they going to do - put an ad in the Guardian?

When you think about it, it would not be a spoof because the skills set would be useful to them.

It depresses me that the video-game market these days is dominated by Western bald-headed space marine greyness.
The Japanese are the only people who make creative video-games. I'm pleased the XBox has flopped in the land of the rising sun, just as I'm pleased to see the overpriced piece of junk that is the PS3 fail in the west.

Relugus - your insulting attitude to people who have the misfortune of baldness (to indulge the reactionary notion that baldness is a misfortune) is duly noted. A physical imperfection does not make someone less human than you.
Indeed many of us do not accept that baldness is an example of inferiority at all - we are part of "diversity" and, therefore, (according to modern doctrines) not inferior. Follically (from follicle) divergent - as opposed to challenged.
As for marines - the Ultra Marines are bright blue (as opposed to gray) and the other chapters also have very colourful livery. Vast numbers of people spend hours painting it.
