PAC MAN
Why didn't Hillary Clinton come out against this game? There's violence, greed, everything a TRUE liberal would be against! The yellow character eats all the balls not leaving any for the worse off, and if he eats the bigger ones, HE EATS THE POOR GHOSTS. And sometimes he even eats FRUIT! HOW DO WE KNOW THAT FRUIT WASN'T PICKED BY POOR MIGRANT WORKERS BEING MISTREATED BY THE CORPORATIONY CORPORATIONS?!!!111

1. and the flashing lights and dots...induce a feeding frenzy of hallucinogens
Edited on Tue Jul-26-05 05:50 PM by YOY
Surely MUST be the reason why the kids are on "the dope."

Let us not forget Donkey Kongs implocation of female helplessness and implied spousal abuse at the hands of an ignorant primate male! It also includes a steriotype offensive to Italian Americans:

MARIO: THE SAMBO of ITALIANS!!!!

2. Absolutely disgusting.
Liberals should be ashamed of playing Pac Man.

Also, the game MS. PAC MAN is sexist, it obviously shows that she does not have a seperate identity from her husband, Pac Man. Her only worth and individuality is shown in the form of a red bow, obviously symbolic of Ms. Pac Man's ability to be kept on a tight leash by Mr. Pac Man. Mr. Pac Man forces Ms. Pac Man to keep his name, and even similar grooming habits, so that he can control what she is like.

4. also it seems they're implying she's a lesbian since she looks like the
MALE Pac Man minus the bow!

NAMCO WHAT IS YOUR AGENDA!!! And don't even get me started on Tetris, clearly a game that supports the wall between Israel and Palestinian controlled lands. IS THERE NO END TO THE ANTI-LIBERAL HOMOPHOBIA ZIONISM VIOLENCE OF VIDEO GAMES?!!

3. It also promotes raving and drug use!
I mean, come on: running around in darkened rooms munching magic pills while listening to repetitive electronic music.

5. Not to mention Pac-Man Fever
That catchy little song, it's really just another evil rock and/or roll subliminal message designed to make your children shoot crack cocaine and smoke cigarettes.

8. Confession...
After PAC MAN came out I started taking ecstasy more frequently, I started to enjoy the electronica music and neon colors... and soon afterward became attached to raving while under the influence of ecstasy. PAC MAN really forced me make those decisions.

19. And ecstacy causes people to take their clothes off
and have vile, unprotected sex with multiple partners, causing pregnancies, leading to abortions, which cause mental illness, requiring the abortion recipient to be committed to a sanitarium. And while they are being treated, they are not working, and they are not paying taxes, which could have been used to ban Pac Man, and would have prevented all of this from happening!

10. Pac-Man hates America
Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Baby Pac-Man are all godless liberals. Pac-Man promotes drug use with those magic pellets. Ms. Pac-Man promotes women becoming lesbians and hating men since she is never seen with Pac-Man (maybe Pac-Man is a cross-dressing sinner). Baby Pac-Man is a bastard child just waiting for hell.

16. Ms. Pacman does not wear shoes!
They are implying that women should remain barefoot and pregnant, and it is a threat to feminism!

18. just so we're clear, I'm not attacking Pac Man from the right
I'm attacking Pac Man from the left. Or more accurately, mocking someone who attacked GTA:SA from the left.

17. What about Super Mario Brothers?
Edited on Tue Jul-26-05 06:14 PM by LeftyMom
Mario or Luigi (Italian-american stereotypes) can't appear on screen at the same time. If they did, they'd forget about saving Princess (unemployed sponge on society) Toadstool (penis) and spend their afternoon on one of those big mushrooms (phallic symbol!) doing only Gannon knows what.

So what do they do? They jump on owls and turtles and fish, symbolizing their contempt for the environment, and when they have the option (by harvesting a rare and hidden plant of course) the sadistic bastards fling fire at the endangered species. Sometimes they find a hidden star that makes them invincible (PCP?) and kill the other animals with a touch (I don't want to know what that's all about. Feelings of isolation, perhaps?)

Then they go through shortcuts shaped like sewer pipes (a symbol of bypassing environmental regulations to get ahead.) After wandering around in dungeons some more (suggesting an S&M fetish, perhaps) they finally do battle with Gannon (angry reptile, symbolizing Dick Cheney, who was Sec Def when the game came out) and save Princess (poor example for girls, she ought to be Doctor Toadstool or something) Toadstool (PENIS!!!)

I spent a lot of time playing that game growing up. No wonder I'm so weird.

edit: spl chak

21. What about A-steroids? Obviously a subliminal message to get
our youth to use performance enhancing drugs.

EXTREMISM IN PROTECTION OF YOUTHS FROM YELLOW BALLS OF ANTI-LIBERAL ACTIVITY IS NO VICE; PLAYING SONIC THE HEDGEHOG INSTEAD IS NO VIRTUE!

Every time you say the F-word, a child buys a violent video game, kills his parents and illegally downloads mp3s from the internet!

You've caused a woman to feel scared of you, don't you feel all big and masculine? MUST BE A RESULT OF TOO MUCH PAC MAN.
