Needless to say, these photo-manipulations strongly portray video games as a bad influence on children, with captions like "He just shot someone in the head" and "Don't train your child to kill", as if violent video games somehow teach us to commit murder in addition to their debatable effects of desensitization.
Whatever your views are on the matter, I just thought I'd share these startling images with the rest of you.
Yeah, because only children play video games. Right, boys and girls?

I can't believe they'd go and use the last image like that. I mean, honestly. Shock value? Well, I guess that's what powerful advertising is all about.

Is there a way to sue them?
It's too easy for them to come out with something like this ads without the fear of the conseguences.

Sue them for what? It's freedom of expression. I may completely disagree with the message, but no laws have been broken, as far as I can see.

Because what they are saying is not true and offend people who let children play games (and so even who does the game) claiming that they train and istigate them to kill (commit crime).
False Ads should be outlaw however.

I would love to see a study done compairing kids how play video games over kids that don't. I would be that the kids that don't are more volent.
Maybe no laws have been broken but they are trying to use images that they are aginst in an extreme anginst that which its fighting...Its like saying "don't F@in swear"

Shock value. These ads want to compare gaming to SAW, I wouldn't be surprised if they're one step away from "the Hitler defense". (Fuhrer with a keyboard! RUN!)

wtf? That's some messed up stuff. Whoever came up with that stuff is a seriously twisted. They've got issues, and should probably seek help.
Personally I blame violent movies.

I won't comment. For the sake of not spewing interminable flows of profanity and blasphemy over whoever created this, and for the sake of not being banned, I won't say anything.

Go nuts with it. You've got temporary ban immunity, Helion. Do not disappoint us!

Bah, it would sound awkward out of me, swearing in a foreign language. I will content myself of knowing just what sort of piece of **** could draw this kind of stuff. ******* disturbed.
They could keep this bull**** for themselves.

Bleh, I've seen some pretty bad things said/implied about video games, but this is just ridiculous.

Over the past year, a single thought has been filtering into my conscious, and that is that any site ending in .info is not to be trusted.

I know right?! I was like wow... these are terribly shopped... if these were graphics it woulda been better XD Better yet! Make a game where the objective is to badly photoshop propaganda and release it to the sheeple of the world and see how many people accept it >.< I mean look at it. Real blood doesn't bleed like ink or oil based paint, the shopping of the pigment on the kids skin in the first pic is terrible, and blood doesn't look like that on a keyboard! Just rediculous, lol. AND WHO USES STOCK KEYBOARDS FROM THE 90'S! GAWD!
