Default Re: What is the story with those dominion ads??

I've been gone for quite some time due to internet and computer problems. (That are still ongoing )
So I'll just post my opinion on some main points in this huge thread:
>>The ads are funny
I think they are mildly amusing, which is more than I can say for most commercials.

>>The ads objectify women
1) Pfft.
2) It's not the duty of Shrapnel Games to strengthen the moral fiber of society, they just want to sell games.
3) I don't think there's any problem with ads objectifying women, the real problem is when people objectify <anyone>.

>>Gratuitous violence
Is awesome.
Exploding piles of gore and blood?
That's what you call fun!
Seriously, these are games we are talking about.

>>boys so pretty that they'd make straight men go gay.
I'm not gay, but if there were boys pretty enough to make me go gay then I probably wouldn't mind (in the same way I wouldn't mind dying since I'd be dead.)
Also, adblock+noscript (so I only saw the first one since it was reposted in many ways)

When I first saw the ads, I thought they were supposed to be ironic. I thought the women in the ads with Dominions were supposed to be a juxtapose of advertisement that we were all supposed to take as being funny and oddball.

I am really amazed that people are offended and feel Shrapnel games is trying to insult their intelligence. When I see these ads, I applaud them for daring to be different and mixing two completely different things together to draw attention.
