Holy Paintgun Batman!

This is terrible! I was looking at my message board, where I always get pop ups that the pop up blaster can't seem to zap (how do they get around the pop up protection sometimes?) and I spotted this little number, which tells you to "splat" the co-worker. You are represented in front, and while the "gun" does appear to be a paintgun, it still shows you basically going "postal" on your office environment, with men in suits & women in heels running willy nilly back & forth in front of you.


And for the record, if you do "splat" them, they fall over. If they just got a splat of paint on their clothes, I might not think it's so bad, but clearly, these are some pretty forceful "paint" pellets.

Now I can remember some co-workers I wouldn't have minded being able to do something awful to. But I don't think this is funny, do you? I know someone will say "lighten up it's a joke" but I don't think jokes about killing people ought to be tolerated as advertising. (Sex as advertising, on the other hand, is fine with me, as long as it's even-handed, which it rarely is. Show Paris Hilton slutting it up over a hamburger, I want me a hot-bodied young male tramp doing the same thing in a second commercial. I'll vote maybe Orlando Bloom. Or perhaps The Rock. Work those soap suds baby.)
