SO OFFENSIVE - Mass Distraction - 12-12-2012 01:12 AM

Does this offend you in any way?

Because apparently there's already a shitstorm going on about how offensive this piece of advertisement is. People should stop getting their panties in a bunch and focus their anger towards something more worthwhile.

I can see why people would jump on their high horse and scream at the top of their lungs "SEXIST!!!!", but really it's not offensive, although I find that form of advertising ("sex sells", for anyone who doesn't know) for said game is not a good idea because it doesn't represent the game at all. It's not really offensive at all, it's just dumb, like when airlines put stores in a mall. (That last one was Song airlines a while back, they never took off, and went out of business pretty quickly, their advertising was just so unrelated to their service, seriously, if you have the time just look up some of their commercials.)

I'm so offended by this. That zombie's worked hard all her quasi-afterlife to get to where she is today, and now people are tirading because apparently she's not as perfect as the other models.

YOU GO GIRL.

I'm offended because I don't have a decent QR code reader so it's for people like me it's....QR Code-ists.

I actually find it pretty clever. You know, as you play as a normal everyday person who just happens to get stuck in the middle of everything going to shit. Like this woman, for example. This along the words "How long will YOU survive?" makes it seems like a pretty neat advert. I dunno, either it's just me looking too deep into things or me liking unconventional ads. Well, as long as they still have something to do with the product, zombies in this case.

Video game commercials has always done sexist stuff. Not sure how they got away with this (if they did) back in the days. They have never offended my personally though.

Those times when you're casually carrying around a boxed Sega Megadrive game at the Tennis courts. Why?

RE: SO OFFENSIVE - Berry - 12-12-2012 06:53 AM

I don't really see anything sexist about it.

The only thing wrong is that they still haven't kill the zombie responsible for this terrible deed.

Perhaps, but I'm pretty sure public nudity is illegal.
