What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen

[Seldon2639]

Did you ever say to yourself "Metal Gear Solid 4 was a great game, maybe even one of the greatest in recent years; the only way someone could improve upon it would be to replace all of the main characters with eight-year-old girls who aren't wearing pants"? If so, Konami would like to fill that need.

This, I believe, is the worst merchandising I've ever seen. Do other people find this as disturbing as I do, or are there even worse things out there in the Stygian depths of the internet?

It is also disturbing that somehow, the searchwords you entered gave this result..
What were you looking for? ROFL (\joke)

I want a Psycho Mantis one.

I'm agreed with kanada514.
And you think this is bad? You haven't gone anywhere near the shadowy corners of the netscape.

I can agree with you there.

My first thought was "What the f*ck is that shit?", but then I noticed it's Japanese.

No offense meant.

This is how TVtropes.org will ruin your life.

edit:

Oh, and I think they're cute too, so take that ^-^

Hey, I agree they're cute, but a cute Revolver Ocelot confuses and frightens me. Also, why the conspicuous lack of pants?

 

[Rusman]

Not disturbing in anyway. They're well cute XD

 

[DirkGently]

It's true! Once you see it, you cannot unsee it!

I can't believe that anyone finds that attractive. Especially with the lack of pants... The fuck? I'm sorry, my mind needs to reboot. I'll be over in the corning making sobbing sounds and disjointed ramblings.

Not half as bad as that life-sized anime statue that sold for MILLIONS of dollars on account of being art and one of a kind.
I don't know about you, but I'd *charge* millions of dollars to display in my home a plastic representation of a cartoon guy swinging a lasso of certain male body fluids.
Ah well, I guess money going into circulation is a good thing. The one who bought that certainly must have had quite lot just lying around.

I thought this was another thread with nothing but a sketch of a giraffe coming out of a girls ass and then a .gif of some dude taking a shit on some chick.. Then I saw that the OP was a different user than that other life scarring thread.. So I clicked..

Worst Merchandising for MGS4 ever? Maybe if it was based here in America like that, possibly yeah. In Japan, I think that's normal. Clearly you haven't seen how they merchandise Resident Evil.

Well, apparently, guys prefer girls without their pants on. No offense meant, it's just how it is. Most swimsuits don't come with pants either.

Anyway, it's not really disturbing, more in the rainbows and ponies area of the internet rather than the stygian depths. You'll know when you're there because you'll probably be throwing up.

Speaking as one of those guys who prefers girls to be without pants (context, of course, is important) the girls in question aren't usually eight-years-old, nor transgendered versions of gruff, male, soldiers. I mean, sure, Otacon was always a girl, but that's besides the point.

That, my friend, was one of the funniest things I've read on the internet in about a year

I have to agree.
