Hey everyone! You know, it's this time of year our thoughts turn to our family and our friends.
That's why we here at Red Versus Blue want to wish every one of you a very merry Chris-
Hold it right there, guys!
Doc, stop interrupting our holiday message.
Uh, yeah. Listen guys, you should really know the holidays can be one of the most offensive times of the year.
Offensive? Holidays are awesome! You get tons of Christmas presents, and you get a bunch of candy canes!
But just think about how exclusionary that statement is to people that don't celebrate Christmas! Or to dentists, or to people who use canes!
Huh. I never looked at it that way.
Oh come on. I suppose you want to chicken out and just say Happy Holidays?
Yeah, I don't know. Holidays implies holy. Some people aren't religious at all! Also the word happy might be insensitive to people who suffer from depression.
He's right, you know. Each year, clinical depression affects millions of Americans.
Oops, right, you're right. Sorry. [Grif just stares at Doc]
What? It's a global platform!
Doc and Simmons are worried about offending people that don't celebrate Christmas. [Doc makes a whiny noise] I mean the holidays.
[sighs] That don't celebrate a special time at the end of the year. Is that better?
The Aztecs use a different calendar. The end of their year is actually-
Oh come on! The Aztecs have been dead for like a billion years!
For once I agree with Grif. This is total nonsense! This is our show. We can say whatever kind of greeting we want!
Okay, let's all just calm down before somebody gets too festive. Ahem, pardon me, I meant seasonally excited.
That's a bunch of Rudolph droppings if you ask me. I'm not scared of offending people, just watch me go. Hi, this is Sarge from Red Versus Blue, and I want to wish everybody a very merry- [an Xbox 360 guide menu pops up in front of him and the screen goes black and white] Hey, get that thing out of here! {the menu closes] And give us back our color! [the color returns] That's better. Now as I was saying-
Uh, Sarge? I'd be careful if I were you.
They can't stop the signal. Now on behalf of everyone here at Red Versus Blue, we want to wish you all out there a very Merry- [Sarge vanishes]. (An Xbox 360 alert pops up and says "GrifKilla51" signed out)
Whoa, what happened? Where'd Sarge go?
I guess they stopped the signal.
Well, okay. If we can't say Happy Holidays, what can we say?
Just think of something as inoffensive as possible.
What if we just say hi? Hello.
How 'bout we just send a universal mathematical message with no implied emotion?
Would you send it in hexadecimal?
