I'm going to plump for number 3. But on a serious note it's nice to see that people here aren't making fun of the guy concerned.emeraldrafael said:....
Holy shit, thats creepy. Thats funny to me too (but I have something of an unhealthy obession with all things Persona and SMT) but exceedingly creepy.
They way I look at it, there's one of three things at work.
1) This is a very horrible Ad campaign by Atlus/someone wanting to advertise Persona 4 (which is so unlikely I honestly think I'll grow wings before that happens).
2) Someone was a really big fan of the game and either:
2a) thought it would be cool to replicate a death of a another human being
2b) thought it would be cool to commit suicide in the manner.
3) its completely incidental.
Either way, I'm telling my friends/family in Michigan to go out and buy glasses now, stay away from the Tv, and pull out their arcana cards. I'll be up later with my hair dyed silver.
