Nil (Logan) has a great sense of humor, but it normaly involves banning people.

Not cool.

Check earlier posts in the thread.

Baby killing simulators.

 

[Ghonzor]

Oh my...

That is awesome! Bioshock needs to steal that as a award for if you kill all the little sisters.

I second that motion.

Quick, hide this image from FOX!Who knows what they'll do to this situation.

 

[Dorian6]

I'm sorry, but I absolutely LOVE this picture. there's something delightfully skewed about the vault-boy kicking a pregnant woman in the uterus.

 

[InquisitorRaekan]

hahahahaha oh my god thats fu**ing hilarious. its obvious how it got rejected but i don't 'spose they were thinking when they proposed the idea.

 

[Ultra_Caboose]

I will admit, I laughed. Very hard. It's such a horrible image, but goddamit!!

 

[Kinguendo]

After I stopped laughing because that IS funny I felt pretty bad, I mean look at it... Vault Boy doesnt have a properly functioning left knee, its bending in the wrong direction and that HAS to be painful.

But yeah, how would you create the image for something called "Child Killer" and think "Well, thats a cheery image... cant wait to let people see this, absolutely NO ONE is going to take offence. They just cant, its physically impossible to be offended by this image I just made for the "Child Killer" reputation."... come on!

 

[Chris^^]

that is SO fallout, I wouldn't say I love it but it fits the feel of the world perfectly..

 

[PyroZombie]

He's apologized, it's funny, I no longer care.

FALCON KICK! A new iteration on the surprise abortion!
Yeah, that was a good, strong laugh. Wow, this is an even worse image than Yahtzee's spontaneous miscarriage. Wait, no it's not. One thing I find kinda' weird about it is the shirt itself. Why does it have an arrow pointing down with the word 'baby' on it? Thanks for the indication. I mean, is it a target to allow Vault Boy a better placed kick?

I would have loved to see the look on the producer's faces when they brought that out.

Reminds me of the initial designs for Kingdom Hearts, where they assumed wielding a chainsaw would be a great idea for a Disney game.

They should have kept it. Also, let me kill MacReedy.

 

[Denamic]

Heheheh...
That's funny.
Now to mod that into Fallout 3...

 

[Mcface]

Is it wrong that I find that image funny?

No, i actually have a shirt almost exactly like this.

 

[joshuaayt]

Hahahahaha.
That was a good laugh.
Really, it is as everyone is saying- It is just the kind of dark humour that the Fallout universe is famous for.
Besides, my desktop needed a new wallpaper.

Who doesn't?

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I didn't find it offensive at all, it made me laugh.

 

[RicoADF]

I'm a little dismayed by the number of people who think that this is funny. I'm struggling to see the humour in it myself.

It's to do with the context its put in (fallout), the topic (killing a child) and the look on vultboys face being a smile over doing something we all consider tragic.
Basically the humor is over the fact its so outragious and silly.

This is a case example of a type of person I think we need more of in the world, the "I do whatever the #### I want because it's hilariou", type. If we had more people that did incredibly funny things such as this, the world would be a much more tolerant and humor filled place. "That image is offensive!" My response: "Oh come on!"
