Yes, it is a comedy show. But it is a comedy show about politics. I come to CoH to get away from all that, not to be reminded of it.
I so very much wish FREEM would just die.
Chill out... Freem is an April Fools Joke that has everything to do with this game.

Please leave your tinfoil hat at home next time.

Shows how much of a noob I am... I thought the Freem joke started with i19 and the Alpha Arc where you got the Limitless Radial Freeem or whatever it was...

I doubt its the first time anyone typed that string of letters together, but I do know when the April Fools joke was posted no one at the time claimed it was a rip off of something else. It was certainly not a meme at the time. And it was just one among many of the "visual sound effects" in that post: it was actually the players that first latched onto Freem, and it entered the game afterwards. The same way that Kill Skuls entered the game, basically.

This is so much more win than the actual title. Do want. x)

Also, yeah, it's from the old April's Fools joke. The Limitless Radial Freeeem came much later.
