    Geekin' Out: "The Wire" Gets a Kickass Complete Series Box Set

    By: Adam Quigley Posted: September 5, 2008 Filed under: DVD News, Geekin' Out

    It was only a matter a time. Now that the fifth and final season of The Wire has made its way to DVD, HBO has seen fit to give this brilliant show the royal treatment with its complete series box set. This 23-disc package will be released December 9th, 2008, with a retail price of $249.99. When asked for comment, Santa Claus claimed that this has already become his most requested Christmas gift for 2008, overtaking both iPhones and blowjobs. Although sadly, the aforementioned requests came entirely from me. OK, fine, the blowjob requests too.

    Hey Adam, i don't know if you actually read these, but i just wanted to say that i absolutly love you, you're amazing. i'm a hardcore fan of you! i'm the same girl who wrote in on the slash film cast and said she loved you, and sorry this has nothing to do with The Wire.

    why so serious? redux

    I apologize. I was just pointing out that you had sent an e-mail to the Filmcast, posted that you sent it, and then you did another one repeating your previous statements. The reason i wrote it that way was to get a response, and it did. Having wrote that, yes The Wire is an awesome show, and the fact that your interested is great. I just don't want to see you give your hopes up, because more people should watch it.

    i accept your apology. And i watched the first disc of the wire and i really didn't like it, which is not to say it wasn't good, it was just not something that interested me in the slightest. adam will probably hate me for saying that but he probably already hates me for bothering him so much, so whatever.

    sorry to hear that. The Wire

    sorry to hear that. The Wire is one of those shows that, while it's great tv, it's definitely not for everyone. it's also very, very serialized, which can turn people off. p.s. i don't think adam would hate you, but he will if you're a fan of....THE SHIELD!!!!!!! HA HA HA HA.

    The Authority's here in portland oregon are protecting two Serial Killers named joan wagar and eric carlson, the Authority's gave eric carlson a new identity so joan and eric can get away with murder, eric now goes by the name Gashel and was working at Clackamas Walmart with joan wagar. since I discovered this Eric carlson left Clackamas Walmart. Why are they hideing a bodydouble and poisoning people. Why did the authority's in portland oregon give joan and eric permission to poison a plasma donor?
