Game says "Protect your Country... by Attacking it"

Postby The Omega Man » Sat Oct 14, 2006 1:07 pm

Marketed directly towards the youth, the new Ubisoft game "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent", is the latest round of agit-prop to introduce the concept of information warfare. Emblazoned on the backs of comic books is a full page advert that touts the sickness... "Protect your country... By attacking it." And features an SAS looking prototype as the protagonist Sam Fisher, who ostensibly goes to immoral, traitorous and illegal extremes to meet the objectives to satiate his overlords. If anyone is interested and can tell me how I could upload an actual scan of the advert I'd be much obliged. <br><br>You can check out more of the vomitus here: <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://splintercell.uk.ubi.com/introduction.php">Ubisoft's Splinter Cell Double Agent</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> Apparently the agenda of this game for the youth is... "Hey kids, get really good at this game and shed your morals like a snakeskin, so you can play the advanced "no-reset" version in the field of government intelligence. Now with 100% more sanction!" <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=theomegaman@rigorousintuition>The Omega Man</A> at: 10/14/06 2:39 pm<br></i>
