RTW Scandal!

[ElmarkOFear]

In an attempt to break into the mass market of console gaming, Activision has directed Creative Assembly to change the packaging of their newest game.

It was determined the largest segment of the gaming market falls in the 12 and under age demographic. Fearing their games would be seen as too violent, Activision has decided to appease worried parents by releasing the next Creative Assembly game substituting the very violent image of a Roman warrior with a character that parents have come to know and love.

It has yet to be determined what changes to game play will occur, but the new game packaging has already met with mixed reviews. Focus groups have substantiated the popularity of the new look with parents and children, but hardcore Total War veterans are worried that one of their beloved members may have "Sold Out To The Man."

NOTE: Instead of the planned Rome Total War action figures, CA has just informed the gaming public of their newest RTW Plushy Doll line of toys.

THE SCANDAL CONTINUES
After more research it was discovered that Elmo was not that clean afterall.

Elmo has been exposed to be a Heroin and Cocaine addict The "Tickle Me Elmo" doll has caused greed, capitalism, pain and war amoung the peoples of the world The Elmo doll was designed in hopes of teaching little kids to shoot up and extending the market for drug trade. It was the number one selling toy of Christmas 1998.

Activision came to the decision that violence is not as bad as drugs, so they urged CA to put back the Roman warriors and immediately delete all copies of this drug-addict.

Phew, that would have gone horribly wrong.

PS, I saw the pic at bertisevil.com 5 years ago. Never looked at it again, this post just instantly reminded me of it. That site is by the way worth visiting.

GAH

Vanya sez... no nose candy?

Vanya sez... Quite odd that Elmo would take off his shoes to stick needle between toes.

Apparently, RTW must stand for Run To Womb... Vanya confident Elmo can scratch up the image for that one...

GAH

[ElmarkOFear]

I would have Vanya, but I was told there was no "Womb at the Inn." :)
