Hamlet is now available as well, but Romeo and Juliet still rocks.

The highlight was when Romeo first meets Juliet and the first thing he says to her is “a/s/l”

good times.

I remember seeing that awhile back (maybe when Badtz Maru posted it?) I personally think it’s funny as hell. For those of you that are humor impaired (like some people I showed it to, not necessarily anyone on the boards) just remember that it’s _satire_. He’s not actually trying to update Romeo & Juliet with leetspeak.
