Mailbag: The Giant Bomb Mailbag for Scottish Independence

Foreign beer and cookies inform our educated views on this contentious political issue.

What's in the mail? Is it an old T-shirt? A lunchbox full of rusty knives? Video game treasures? Canadian energy drinks?

They've seriously not seen Iron Sky? It is a fucking amazing film .

Also Mahou red is a good beer. Even if it is cheap Spanish lager.

So i wonder if Scotland really will vote for independence.

My bet as an outsider looking in is no. But hey, the fuck do I know about Scottish politics.

I love that Jeff is using a giant knife to cut open packages now.

I've never seen Iron Sky, but I feel like I should. Someone once told me it was terrible, but I feel like I should anyway.

Haggis chips sound good. Haggis itself tastes pretty good too aside from the sort of weird pasty texture to it. The whole yuck factor is the ingredients and cooking process. But, i dunno, if you eat grocery store hotdogs you've eaten just as bad or worse than what haggis is.

Jeff could totally pull off an actual flat cap. He should borrow one from Eric Pope and try it out.

I think it had a limited theatrical release then straight to DVD. The sequel seems to be happening too.

It's on Netflix. In the US, anyway.

Space Nazis + Aussies doing bad American accents. It's pretty funny. If you're drunk.

Or if you have the humor for the sort of thing the movie is doing then you can be perfectly sober.

For anyone vaguely interested in the whole Scottish Independence thing but doesn't know much about it... The short story is that Scottish independence is going to completely fuck over anyone involved with it. Scotland will be fucked, and England will be fucked as a result of Scotland being fucked... Yay for the UK.


Also Alex Salmond can go fuck himself... Seems the UK is filled with extremely dislikeable politicians... who knew?!


But holy shit is that a great thumbnail.
