Title: How tasteless.
Post by: Silverhawk79 on August 20, 2008, 06:10:15 PM
The maker of Space Invaders (Taito, I think) had a booth at the Liepzig video game conference in Germany, depicting the Space Invader ships attacking...the World Trade Center?

It's really kind of in bad taste, if you ask me. =/

That really is in bad taste, they obviously knew that they looked like the World Trade Centers, they look exactly like them.

That, and they call them WTC 1 and WTC 2.

Oh, and are those blue sprites people jumping out?

Possibly lasers, though I'm not sure.

I'm sure FOX News will tell us.

Everyone else, too.

That's awesome. At least someone isn't vagina-y whipped by society into shying away from anything to do with 9/11.

So? It's life, we really need to realize it's a intercourse ing game, and we can't remove 9/11, especially from a PRE use of the WTC's.

The artist probably did it just to get attention.

If anything it's an attack on the terrorists. They're like Space Invaders. No one wants them and wants to eliminate them. It's a video game. Get over it. It's a little tasteless sure, but whatever.

This is coming from a New Yorker.

Does anyone remember Super Columbine Massacre RPG?

That was tasteless, but it didn't leave a major impact on anything.

Somehow I don't think that escaped convicts want very much attention.

It's probably a misinterpretation....you see the Invaders represent the evil terrorists who are poopting on the towers, and the gun represents the worlds need to destroy the terrorists before they poop on something else...


you see it's all in perspective.
