The low taste point IMO wasn't use of OBL to sell merchandise. I personally don't give a **** about OBL, since he's long dead and rat **** in some cave somewhere.


It is making a joke out of the very real development of a deliverable lethal chemical weapon intended for eventual deployment in terror attacks against civilians.

Why not use a graphic of a can of Zyklon-B and a logo about killing a Jew? The killing of the dog was intended to test the capability of killing humans with the same weapon, so what's the problem with the Zyklon-B idea?

For that matter, if chemical weapon terrorism or chemical warfare is suitable marketing fodder, how about I get a photo of a prisoner strapped down for execution by lethal injection? You could make a version for pro-DP types, and one for anti-DP, so that buying Apolyon crap would ostensibly either execute or save the condemned prisoner?

What's the difference?

No Mark, you've gone totally off the rails with this.

Ban me if you want. I'm sure you won't. But you are very far off base on this. It is sad you do not know how far.

Ha! What a laugh. Go ahead and ban me!

I said, I was sure you wouldn't. Maybe you've changed though.

What's analogous?

Wasn't the dog killed as part of a test of a chemical weapon designed to kill humans? Or was that just another day at the Kabul pound? The real killing of the dog for any reason should be offensive enough - the kitten was a photoshop construct and a joke, not an actual kitten (or human) being killed.

The banner woud be trying to market off the deliberate infliction of pain and killing of something. How about cows at a meat-packing plant for a more "innocuous" example with animals.

Banner ads and such Full PM-box? Change here!

Personally, I think this thread has been a gas... GAS...


P.S. For some reason I have just seen the kitten ad for the frist time; brilliant! But is that really a picture of Markos? Somehow I pictured him with a more european hair style... and a little black mustache...

1. I don't care if a love story is about heterosexuals, I just care if it is well-written and well-acted. DA is neither.

2. Your retraction of your slur is meaningless to me and a demonstration of your true character. Extremely disappointing to see what a buffoonish nitwit you really are.
