What is the story with those dominion ads??

[llamabeast]

Oh - one sad thing about the ninja advert is that "Dominions" is misspelt. Careless.

[llamabeast]

And, while I'm posting away - does anyone else think the ATF girl looks like she's just been drinking milk?

[Amhazair]

Oopsie. We get a second new add. While I the ninja girl is either a girl, or pritty enough to make me go totally gay, the other guy is definitely a guy. And made me remember why I'm straight.

(I also agree 100% with Llama's post, but I didn't want to get involved in an inflamed discussion about the adds, so this will probably be the last serious comment I make about them)

@Llamabeast

Yeah..."Got Milk?"...."Got War?"...get it?

@everyone else

If that ninja is a woman, then we need to get her taken off here; that is exploitation.

[llamabeast]

I don't think I've heard "Got Milk?". Hmm, obviously that one was wasted on me. I thought the sunlight was just catching her lip.

The lack of i " Dominons 3." ninja add is really annoying. I don't mind the others, but that's sloppy.

Do a quick google of "Got Milk?", click images, and all will become clear.

Coincidentally, we talked about the "Got Milk?" ad in marketing this semester. In Mexico, they tried running the "Got Milk?" ad which I believe would translate to "Tiene Leche?". What they didn't know was that the literal translation in Spanish is "Are you lactating?".

Perhaps they meant dominoes?
But it is time now to get back to the real problems of this world, like the crappy PD of Bandar Log that prevent it from winning any game.

At first I thought the "If you don't like it, GTFO" response was uncalled for. But well before that, Annette apologized and Tim explained the business reasons for the ads and their success. These arguments were met with "You don't mean it!" and "It's still exploitation and you're all evil bigots." So what exactly is there to say at that point? I guess nothing, which would have been better than an attempt at making light of the situation. Tim admitted that the best thing Shrapnel could have done was to not respond to the thread at all because of the clear lack of any rationality in some of the arguments.

I still wouldn't tell people to get the *uck out of here if they don't like it, but when you're met with that kind of opposition there's really nothing else to say. There are several bad ways to handle it, but no really good ones.

All the adverts are sloppy. They look like they've just nabbed some random image off a google image search and added "I want my dominions 3" with an image editor. It isn't even an interesting font, probably just the default.


I guess I'm not being rational though, in the face of evil bigotry.
