Has anyone lese noticed that recently gaming adverts have become extremely disturbing??
The XBOX ad was very strange, as was the gamecube one (the people in the cubes)
but what really got me was a recent thing by nintendo of europe that i found in my inbox( i'll email it to any one who wants a copy)
It has a picture of mario's hat on the floor of a dark room, the hat is dripping with paint that is obviously meant to resemble blood.
In the background is a silouet of what appears to be Water mario and the back pack
Then to the right it says "It's gonna get messy, are you ready to clean?"
Of course i could be over reacting and the person in the background COULD be mario looking for his hat.

But it's still pretty weird.
