One million signatures to shut up Uwe Boll
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 7th April 2008
One million sigantures - it's the only way to stop the onslaught!
So, the question on the minds of many gamers is simple - how do we stop the Boll? The answer is simple - just sign your name on the list.
Speaking to FearNet recently, Uwe Boll had his attention drawn to an online petition geared at trying to stop him from making any more films. The bad news is that Uwe was a bit dismissive of the list, which has so far bagged about 18,000 signatures. The good news is that he let on how many signatures it would take to shut him up.
"18,000 is not enough to convince me," Boll told the interviewer. Then he was asked how many it would take to convince him. "One million. Now we have a new goal."
Personally, I'm not going to sign up. Half of that is sheer laziness, but the other half is that I actually enjoy coming back from the pub and laughing my way through his films with some friends. What about you though? Do you want to stem the flow, or open the floodgates? Let us know in the forums.

Put me down for both :)
find an answer to that and i'll go door to door obtaining as many signatures as i can
36932
btw does anybody like any of his 'stuff'.
I haff no luv for Uwe.
btw. one million is a lot, if it gets to 100.000 it is already much. But 10 times that seems like impossible.
but its about 1 1/2 vote per second now. I think it is slash dotted. It is going very fast. If you read this it would be over 38.000.
Now :D
I'm not going to sign, I enjoy awful movies to much, they're perfect for caffeine fueled LANs.
Sign up people
On the other hand... he's wasting my tax money... now where can I sign up again?
LOL, voted
just one...
...with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch
edit: lol posted at same time as ^^^ and its already a 40 count difference
Signed :p
Either that or this just feels empowering.

P.S. -- All that being said, Wolverine, you're absolutely right. Don't like it, don't use it. In fact that can be applied to damn near any argument from violent video games to someone's favorite book to Mac-vs-Windows.
My personal favourite review ever of a UB film (direct quote here), "Shite, shite, shite, shite, SHITE!!!!!
I think that gets the point across, don't you?
Sadly, one million seems quite far ahead... :(
Considering that in half an hour it went up by 1500 it isn't that far off...
posted on other forums and sent article to Kotaku!
In the name of the king is probably his film that has pissed me off the most because you can telll that it could have been at least passable. The story was there and the general conversion into a screenplay seemed to have gone well but then there was everything else, camera-work, the direction he was giving people. All the other film were irredeemable pieces of crap but In The Name Of The King could have been ok if he died before it went into production.
Iv also sent the link to another website with a big fanbase so hopefully if they consider it worthy enough to post, they will put it in their front page and get those signitures boosted.
w00t, coming along nicely
Now do remember to digg it.

Hope we get to the 1 million before he starts on Far Cry!
I don't get it, why do game studios let him do the producing and let him ****up their games...
Actually I like them.
Even though they're bad. ;)
Better than nobody making movies like this :D

A million pro Boll? Well, I suppose 372 is a promising start... http://www.petitiononline.com/ub221965/petition.html
Michael Bay's response to Uwe Boll, rofl:
Only in your head, matey
Well, clearly he's been smoking some $hit for... actually, since he was born. Maybe his mom was doped 24/7 and that's why he ended up that way.
The blind man that doesn't want to see is the worst.

205149. Neoki Uwe just realise your worthless and stop making good games and stuff in to the most sorry reason for a film. Seriously man get a life no one likes you and if they do then fair does but stop ruining peoples lifes as it is the worst thing you can do. Stop complaining about cheating just get the bladdy message no one likes you. GO MAKE SOME THING ELSE OTHER THEN THE SORRY EXCUSE FOR THE FILMS YOU MAKE
Having something to just to make fun of is hardly worth the millions put into the making of his "products".
Gets my sign on the petition, nearing 220 000, with around 50 a minute it seems...that's a lot of Spelbergs!
really hmm that doesnt sound good now they can argue that people were enticed to sign and didnt really mean it >_< ya ya I know its just gum but still could be used as an argument but on the bright side woot free gum lol
