Midgets, Bikini Babes and Condoms Get a British Retailer Disinvited to Game Awards Show

Someone forgot to tell Grainger Games that the Games Media Awards are not the David Hasselhoff Roast. The games seller showed up at the U.K. gala with bikini-clad models, midgets, a giant orange Hummer, and branded condoms and are henceforth retailer non grata, say organizers.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Stuart Dinsey, the chief of Intent Media, which puts together the show, issued a blunt apology that made things “very clear that Grainger will not be welcome back rummy nabob in any capacity to the GMAs, or any Intent Media events.” What’d they do? In addition to the tawdry parade, which included flickin’ rubbers into the food of other attendees, Grainger attendees were also said to heckle the presentation, interrupt it by climbing onto the stage to dance, and threaten someone physically and verbally after they were asked to back it the fuck down. “Grainger approached us a few months ago and explained that their intention, through association with the GMAs, was to get closer to the games media,” Dinsey wrote. “What they have done, in spectacular fashion, is alienate the rummy noble entire games media in one night. Good work, guys.” rummy satta Grainger, for its part, gave the typical sorry-if-u-mad non-apology: “We wholeheartedly apologise if we offended anyone at last night’s GMAs. It was never our intention to upset anybody.” That’s not how you take responsibility, guys. Award winners, ostensibly the purpose of this celebration, are listed at the link.
