"Welcome to Violence™, You Degraded Turd"
Back in 1999, Greg Costikyan, author of the roleplaying games Paranoia and Toon (as well as memorable game titles all the way back to the SPI era), published the most vicious satire of roleplaying game rules, roleplaying gamers, and the roleplaying game business:
Violence: the Roleplaying Game of Egregious and Repulsive Bloodshed
It's now available for free online. PDF here.
You will need some pencils. At some future time, you
will need Violence™ pencils, and no substitutes will be
permissible, but we haven’t found a licensee for the
pencil rights yet.

Pencils are already violent enough!
As a side note, The Laird's pioneer research work on pencil quality has lead, indirectly but definitely, to a greater availability of Tombow pencils in the Seattle area.
I just hope that someday my pioneering work in Violence™ will lead to more Violence™ in the Seattle area.
Of course, we see recently, that there was not enough Seattle Violence™ in Solider Field.
